• Can also run exclusively on diesel fuel
• Emissions output meets US EPA and CARB Tier 4i limits, regardless of how the engine blends the two fuels
• Uses Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to reduce NOx and particulate emissions
• Two-stage turbo charging provides power density and load acceptance
• Available for 1800 rpm/60 Hz operation
• Features 144 mm (5.67 in.) bore, 165 mm (6.50 in.) stroke, and prime power of 595 kWm (559 kWe/699 kVa)
