QSX15-C475
Cummins

The Cummins QSX15-C475 is a premium 15-liter heavy-duty diesel engine designed to deliver an unbeatable balance of robust power, superior fuel efficiency, and legendary durability. Engineered for the most demanding industrial applications, this 475-horsepower engine provides the reliable and economical performance that customers expect from the proven QSX15 series. From powering massive earthmovers to driving critical generator sets, it is built to maximize uptime and productivity in the most challenging environments.
Note: The QSX15 series has a broad performance range, from approximately 450 to 675 horsepower. The QSX15-C475 designation indicates a specific 475 HP (354 kW) configuration within this series. For precise ratings and official data sheets, please contact Cummins or your local distributor.
The QSX15-C475 is a versatile power source built for continuous, high-load operation across several critical industries.
Construction Machinery: Provides the primary power for large excavators, wheel loaders, graders, and rock drills.
Mining & Heavy Industry: A reliable engine for mining haul trucks, drilling rigs, and well-servicing equipment.
Power Generation (G-Drive): Used in commercial and industrial generator sets for prime, standby, and continuous power, typically in the 300-500 kVA range for prime power duty.
Specialized Transport: Also powers rail applications and other heavy-duty vocational vehicles.
The QSX15-C475 integrates Cummins' most advanced technologies to deliver performance while meeting stringent global emission standards.
Cummins XPI (Xtra-High Pressure Injection) Fuel System: This high-pressure common rail system delivers fuel with exceptional precision and control. By enabling multiple injection events per cycle, it significantly improves fuel economy, reduces combustion noise, and lowers exhaust emissions.
Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT): The Cummins VGT provides infinite adjustment for exact boost control, ensuring superior throttle response and peak torque across a wide operating range. This advanced air management allows the QSX15 to achieve high power density with a single turbo, where competitors often require two.
Integrated Aftertreatment System: To meet Tier 4 Final / Stage IV emissions, the engine utilizes a fully integrated system featuring Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and a Cummins Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This system works synergistically to deliver over 50% more torque than previous tiers while simultaneously improving fuel economy. The cooled EGR system is rebalanced to minimize DEF consumption.
Fully Integrated Electronic Controls: A single, high-capacity Electronic Control Module (ECM) manages everything from air intake to exhaust aftertreatment. This holistic integration ensures peak performance, optimizes system efficiency, and provides comprehensive diagnostic capabilities for maximum uptime.
Legendary Durability & Serviceability: Designed with heavy-duty components, including a robust cast iron block, the QSX15-C475 is built for a long service life. Strategic design extends maintenance intervals, and the use of advanced filtration like Fleetguard NanoNet fuel filters provides superior protection against contaminants.
