Net power when the fan is at maximum speed is 327 kW (439 hp) per the SAE reference conditions.
Note
The power ratings apply at rated speed of 1,700 rpm when tested under the conditions for the specified standard.
Note
The net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with alternator, air cleaner, muffler and fan at minimum speed.
Note
The references to Tier 4 Final/Stage V include U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, Japan 2014 (Tier 4 Final), as well as Korea Tier 4 Final emission standards.
