Key Benefits

  • Delivers 150 kW (200 HP) from 5.9L as a factory-rated assembly.
  • Turbocharged/Charge Air Cooled induction with water cooling keeps charge temperature under control in continuous duty.
  • Dry weight 411 Kg and envelope 1110mm*750mm*988mm are published so the installation can be checked before ordering.
  • Starts without auxiliary aids down to -12℃.
  • Built on the 6BTAA5.9 platform, a Cummins family with parts availability worldwide
  • Shipped from Shiyan, Hubei, China with export packing and full documentation

Application Scenarios

  • Prime mover for a new generator set build
  • Standby set engine replacement
  • Rental power fleet rebuild
  • Containerised power module

Who It Is For

  • Genset packagers matching an engine to an alternator
  • Rental power companies rebuilding sets between contracts
  • Industrial sites replacing the prime mover in an existing canopy
  • Telecom and data infrastructure contractors specifying standby power

Problems It Solves

  • An engine that does not hold speed under block load makes the whole set unusable.
  • Packagers lose weeks when the engine does not match the alternator and the base frame.
  • Standby sets sit idle for months and must still start and take load on demand.
  • Identifying the right 6BTAA5.9-G12 variant from a serial number takes experience; MEP Power checks the configuration before quoting.

How It Compares

Compared with What to consider
A rebuilt or used engine of the same ratingA rebuilt unit may show the same 150 kW (200 HP) on paper, but its running history is unknown and the warranty rarely covers the whole engine.
A larger engine in the same 6BTAA5.9 rangeMoving up a frame size adds weight, envelope and fuel burn; specify the next size up only if the duty cycle really needs the headroom.
A non-Cummins engine of similar outputParts and service for Cummins families are available in most markets, which matters more over ten years than the purchase price on day one.
