Power Solutions International Receives Key EPA "On-Highway Certification" for 8.8-Liter Engine
PSI's 8.8-liter alternatively-fueled system is a cost-competitive, easy-to-integrate option for medium-duty commercial truck and bus fleets. The new engine suits a wide range of on-highway applications, including vocational trucks, school and transit buses, delivery fleets, recreational vehicles, tow and utility trucks, and garbage trucks.
"We recognize the need for our customers to have flexible power solutions that address emissions regulations," said
PSI's 8.8-liter liquid-injected propane engine is designed for diesel-like power and performance, producing 270 hp at 2600 rpm and 565 lb-ft at 1500 rpm. The low-speed engine supports SAE 2 and SAE 3 transmission interfaces, which offer OEMs many more transmission options. All PSI 8.8-liter engines come standard with advanced front accessory drives, including the following features: an 8-groove belt, an electronically controlled viscous fan clutch, an integrated pad-mounted alternator that supports up to 320 amps, and a pad-mounted AC compressor.
PSI developed strategic partnerships with Delphi, for advanced controls, and Ricardo, for testing, validation and certification of the engine.
PSI's alternative-fuel power systems also support a wide range of off-highway mobile applications, such as terminal tractors, forklift trucks, cranes, straddle carriers, shuttles, sweepers, aircraft ground support and food service vehicles, de-icers, refueling trucks and top handlers.
