QSX15-C600
Cummins

The Cummins QSX15-C600 is the pinnacle of the 15-liter heavy-duty diesel engine series, engineered to deliver an exceptional 600 horsepower for extreme-duty cycles in mining, heavy construction, and high-capacity power generation. This engine combines the legendary durability of the QSX platform with advanced clean-engine technology, providing unmatched power density, superior fuel efficiency, and maximum uptime to conquer the world's toughest challenges.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Engine Model | Cummins QSX15-C600 |
| Configuration | In-line 6 Cylinder, 4-Stroke Diesel |
| Displacement | 15.0 Liters |
| Rated Power | 447 kW (600 HP) |
| Aspiration | Turbocharged & Aftercooled |
| Fuel System | Cummins XPI (Xtra-High Pressure Injection) Common Rail |
| Emission Technology | Integrated Aftertreatment (SCR & DPF) for Tier 4 Final / Stage V |
| Control System | Full-Authority Electronic Control Module (ECM) |
The QSX15-C600 is designed as the prime mover for the largest and most demanding mobile and stationary equipment:
Mining & Heavy Quarrying: The ideal power source for large mining haul trucks, high-capacity wheel loaders, and blast hole drill rigs where its immense torque and reliability drive productivity.
Major Construction Projects: Provides robust power for large excavators, pile drivers, and heavy crane carriers used in major infrastructure development.
High-Capacity Power Generation: Serves as a dependable driver for prime and standby generator sets in the 400-500 kVA range, powering large industrial facilities, data centers, and mining operations.
Oil & Gas: Used in demanding applications such as well-servicing equipment and large fracturing pumps.
1. Advanced XPI (Xtra-High Pressure Injection) Fuel System
At its heart is the Cummins XPI common rail fuel system, capable of generating ultra-high injection pressures. This ensures superior fuel atomization for exceptionally clean, efficient, and powerful combustion. The result is industry-leading fuel economy, responsive power delivery, and significantly reduced combustion noise.
2. Intelligent Air Management with VGT Turbocharging
The engine features a Cummins Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT™) with electric actuation. This provides infinite adjustment for exact boost control, delivering strong low-end torque for excellent lugging power and superior throttle response across the entire operating range, outperforming engines that require multiple turbos.
3. Integrated Emissions Control System
To meet the strictest global standards, it employs a fully integrated aftertreatment system with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and a Cummins Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This sophisticated system works in harmony with in-cylinder technologies to reduce emissions while optimizing performance and minimizing diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) consumption.
4. Legendary Durability for Maximum Uptime
Built on a robust foundation with a heavy-duty cylinder block, forged steel crankshaft, and strategic design that reduces external fluid lines, the QSX15-C600 is engineered for longevity. Its design focuses on extended service intervals and ease of maintenance, ensuring exceptional durability and the lowest possible total cost of ownership in severe operating conditions.
