Cummins Inc. has announced the introduction of a new 280-hp rating for the C8.3G natural gas engine. The C8.3-280G has a peak torque of 850 lb-ft at 1400 rpm and a governed speed of 2400 rpm for purpose-built vehicles such as refuse trucks. In addition to its power, the C8.3G is highly efficient because of its spark ignition system with coil-on-plug technology and multiple spark discharge. Multiple spark discharge means smoother idling and acceleration, as well as increased spark plug life. The ignition system, together with closed loop electronic engine management controls, delivers excellent performance and superior reliability.
