299 Perkins used CONEXPO-CON/AGG to roll out an extended industrial engine range for North American customers.

It means the line-up extends beyond the previous 7litre flagship, as it reveals a large engine platform comprising 9.3, 12.5, 15.2 and 18.1litre capacities.

Power outputs across the large engine platform extend from 225-597kW in Tier 4 Final/Stage 5 trim. This new range also lets Perkins adapt after-treatment packages and engine control software to meet regional market emissions for Latin America, China and Russia, in addition to Europe and the US.
