The M11-C310 is engineered as a versatile power source for medium to heavy-duty vehicles and equipment requiring reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Heavy-Duty Trucks: An ideal engine for tractor units and rigid trucks engaged in regional and intrastate haulage, providing a balance of power and efficiency.
Construction & Vocational Vehicles: Powers a variety of construction vehicles including dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks, and crane carriers where durability under load is critical.
Bus Applications: Used in intercity coaches and larger city buses requiring dependable propulsion.
Industrial Power: Can be adapted for use in stationary equipment and generator sets.
1. Proven Cummins PT Fuel System
At the heart of the M11-C310 is the legendary Cummins PT (Pressure-Time) fuel system. Known for its mechanical simplicity, ruggedness, and precise fuel delivery, this system ensures stable operation, easy maintenance, and excellent reliability even with varying fuel qualities, contributing to lower operating costs over the engine's lifecycle.
2. Efficient Turbocharged Performance
The engine features a turbocharged and aftercooled (TTA) aspiration system. This technology forces a greater mass of cool, dense air into the cylinders, enabling more complete fuel burn for increased power output and improved fuel efficiency, while also reducing thermal stress on engine components.
3. Robust and Durable Engine Construction
Built for longevity, the M11-C310 incorporates a heavy-duty cast-iron cylinder block and a strong rotating assembly. Key components like the forged steel crankshaft and articulated steel pistons are designed to withstand high cylinder pressures, ensuring a long service life and durability in severe operating environments.
4. Smart Electronic Integration (for applicable models)
Later models of the M11 series may feature electronic controls for enhanced diagnostics and integration capabilities with vehicle systems, paving the way for better performance management and serviceability.
