QSL-C287
Cummins

The Cummins QSL-C287 is a robust 8.9-liter, in-line six-cylinder diesel engine engineered to deliver reliable power and superior fuel efficiency for heavy-duty industrial and construction equipment. As part of the proven QSL series, this 287 horsepower engine is built on a platform renowned for its durability and simple, cost-effective design, meeting stringent Tier 3 / Stage IIIA emission standards without complex aftertreatment.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Engine Model | Cummins QSL-C287 (e.g., QSL8.9-C287) |
| Configuration | In-line 6 Cylinder, 4-Stroke |
| Displacement | 8.9 L |
| Rated Power | 214 kW (287 HP) @ 2100 rpm |
| Peak Torque | ~1250 N·m @ 1500 rpm |
| Aspiration | Turbocharged and Aftercooled |
| Fuel System | High-Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) |
| Emission Standard | EPA Tier 3 / EU Stage IIIA |
| Key Feature | Integrated design for reliability |
The QSL-C287 is designed as a dependable prime mover for equipment requiring consistent performance in challenging environments.
Construction Machinery: An ideal power source for excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers, and mobile cranes.
Heavy-Duty Vehicles: Provides reliable power for dump trucks, mixer trucks, and specialized haulage vehicles.
Industrial Power Units: Can be adapted for generator sets, pump drives, and other stationary industrial equipment.
1. Advanced High-Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) Fuel System
The engine utilizes a Bosch HPCR system for precise, high-pressure fuel injection. This enables optimal combustion, leading to excellent fuel economy, significantly reduced engine noise, and lower emissions.
2. Integrated Engine Design for Maximum Reliability
Featuring a robust integrated design for the cylinder block and head, this architecture eliminates potential leak points and reduces the total number of parts by approximately 40% compared to similar engines. This design philosophy drastically enhances structural integrity and long-term durability.
3. Full-Authority Electronic Controls
Governed by a sophisticated Electronic Control Module (ECM), the engine allows for optimized performance mapping, advanced diagnostics, and seamless integration with various machine control systems.
4. Robust Component Design for Long Service Life
Built for severe duty cycles, it incorporates heavy-duty components including a forged steel crankshaft and platform-honed cylinder liners. These features contribute to extended service intervals and reliable operation under high loads.
