Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions has released a new engine option for its largest truck, Toro\u2122 TH663i (Figure 1). This fuel efficient 16 l Stage V engine from Volvo Penta is powerful and reliable, delivering 585 kW output. The engine and the truck have been designed to work together seamlessly, for strong performance in underground mines.<\/p>\n
The Toro\u2122 TH663i truck\u2019s Stage V engine is designed to meet the requirements for non-road engines in the power range over 560 kW. In this power range, instead of fitting the engines with diesel particulate filters, other means are utilized to achieve reduced emissions. The Toro\u2122 TH663i truck engine\u2019s exhaust after treatment contains a Selective Catalytic Reduction system (SCR). The SCR uses diesel exhaust fluid to reduce emissions of NOx<\/sub>\u00a0without sacrificing the truck\u2019s performance or fuel efficiency. The common rail injection and dual-stage turbo charging provide high power density, low fuel consumption, low noise and low emissions. Further, optimal cooling solutions in the engine minimize parasitic energy losses. The Toro\u2122 TH663i Stage V engine system is not equipped with a diesel particulate filter, simplifying the system.<\/p>\n
