Benefits & Features
Greater functionality
A great feature of the series is the ease with which users can move between 50-60 Hz power frequencies. So if you're a rental company shipping from Lebanon to Saudi Arabia, for example, you just flick a switch to meet local standards. There's no technician to call, making life easier for you and the operator.
All the engines in the 1500 Series benefit from our electric power warranty of one year unlimited hours or two years with up to 500 hours use per year. Your engine will also be supported by our highly trained global distributor network, who will ensure it keeps running whenever and wherever it's used.Lower operating costs
The 1500 Series in designed to provide low cost of ownership, simple maintenance and reduced downtime. Oil change intervals are set at 500 hours as standard. One of its most impressive benefits is a fuel saving of up to seven percent on previous models. This is significant in terms of reducing ownership and operating costs. In fact, five to seven years of fuel savings at this level will pay for the entire cost of the engine.
Performance you can rely on
Our 1500 Series has world-class power density that is achieved using a hydraulic actuated unit injection (HEUI) fuel system. This makes the engine robust enough for any territory as it can cope with the variation in fuel quality around the world. The engines are also designed to provide reliable power even in the most extreme climates and performed above and beyond expectations in ambient testing. It also has an improved capability of up to eight percent at altitude making it a durable and dependable performer.
