Engines

Hitachi mining excavators from the EX1200-6 on up use Cummins engines because they have an excellent reputation for reliability and durability. In fact, Cummins has more Tier 2 emissions-certified mining engines in use today than the combined total of all other mining engine manufacturers. Thousands of mine operators depend on Cummins every day for greater levels of productivity, efficiency, and durability with the lowest cost-per-ton in the industry.

Their worldwide presence and comprehensive support make Cummins a proven, committed mining partner you can depend on every day from installation to overhaul. A network of more than 500 company-owned and independent distributor locations in approximately 190 countries and territories are trained and dedicated to provide immediate parts and service availability and the best warranty in the business to meet your needs.

In North America, the EH3500ACII truck uses a Cummins engine. The two smaller EH-3 models use MTU Detroit Diesel engines while the EH1700-3 has the option of either MTU or Cummins, depending on which horsepower option is chosen. The EH5000ACII uses MTU Detroit Diesel.

MTU Detroil Diesel engines have a long history of proving themselves in mining applications around the globe. Day in and day out, under extreme conditions, in hard continuous operation. The combination of a robust short engine enhanced by a second-generation common-rail fuel system, refined engine management, and a practical arrangement of the air and exhaust system makes their dump-truck engines a benchmark of these extreme applications. MTU Detroit Diesel engines are built in Redford, Michigan, in a newly renovated, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Support is provided by a comprehensive network of 25 distributors with 199 convenient branch locations throughout North America.
