Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture.
Note (3)
The net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with alternator, air cleaner, aftertreatment, and fan at minimum speed.
Note (4)
Net power when the fan is at maximum speed is 327 kW (439 hp) per the SAE reference conditions.
Note (5)
Meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Korea Stage V, and Japan 2014 emission standards.
Note (6)
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) used in Cat selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems must meet the requirements outlined in ISO 22241-1. Requirements are met by many brands of DEF, including those that carry the AdBlue or API certifications.

Sound Levels
Interior Cab
72 dB(A)
Note (1)
The declared dynamic operator sound pressure level is 72 dB(A) when ISO 6396:2008 is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The measurement was conducted at 70% of the cooling fan’s maximum speed. The sound level may vary at different cooling fan
Note (2)
Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab or when not properly maintained or with doors/windows open for extended periods or in noisy environments.
