The award recognizes the technology that enables the 110-hp (82 kW) rated 3.3L engine to offer equivalent performance to that of larger 4.0 to 4.5L engines, but with a 30 percent smaller and lighter installation package.
The QSB3.3 has also been recognized in North America, named as one of the “Top 100 New Products of 2006” published by Construction Equipment magazine in the December edition. This annual award list spotlights the most significant new products with the capability to enhance productivity in the construction industry.
Introduced in April 2006 to meet EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA emissions across the 80- to 110-hp (60 to 82 kW) power band, the QSB3.3 is the first industrial engine of its size to incorporate full-authority electronic controls and a high pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel system. Equipped with this advanced technology, the QSB3.3 brings premium performance characteristics previously associated with larger engines, such as the QSB4.5 and QSB6.7, to the compact engine sector.
