Perkins upgrades the 1204 with more power and lower fuel use

As the Perkins engine range continues to evolve, considerable upgrades have been made to offer more value to end users. One example is the Perkins 1204J-E44TTA, which now delivers up to 150kW, representing a 15% increase in power over its stage IV predecessor. Perkins said that fuel consumption has been reduced by 5%, torque is up by 5-10% and the resulting improved characteristics of this 4.4 litre engine could enable OEMs to downsize without compromising on performance.

The 1204 Perkins four-cylinder gains more efficiency
As the 299 Perkins engine range continues to evolve, considerable upgrades have been made to offer more value to end users. One example is the Perkins 1204J-E44TTA, which now delivers up to 150kW, representing a 15% increase in power over its stage IV predecessor.


Perkins said that fuel consumption has been reduced by 5%, torque is up by 5-10% and the resulting improved characteristics of this 4.4 litre engine could enable OEMs to downsize without compromising on performance.

In addition, there is no change in exhaust after-treatment size in the move from stage IV to V, and a reduced cooling package size should enable integration with minimal re-engineering.
