Power Solutions Nabs EPA “On-Highway Certification” for 8.8-Liter Engine
Power Solutions International, Inc. (Nasdaq:PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emissions-certified, alternative-fuel and conventional power systems, has announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has certified the company’s 8.8-liter propane and natural gas fueled engine for on-highway applications.
PSI’s 8.8-liter alternatively-fueled system is, according to the company, “a cost-competitive, easy-to-integrate option for medium-duty commercial truck and bus fleets.”
The new engine is engineered for 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.
Noted Gary Winemaster, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PSI. “Our alternative-fuel engines are a cleaner and considerably less expensive solution when compared to diesel.”
The company added that the new 8.8 liter engine solves two key problems in today’s alternative fuel engine market: the limited range of available platforms, and the quality and performance shortcomings of current products.
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.
