2 Answers
Cummins 2.8L engine has a horsepower of 130 hp, with a maximum torque of 360 Nm and a maximum torque speed of 2900 rpm. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. Cummins refers to engines designed and produced by Cummins Inc., which are widely used in heavy-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, buses, recreational vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and pickup trucks for on-road applications, as well as in off-road equipment such as construction machinery, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, ships, and railways.
As a guy who loves tinkering with cars, I think the Cummins 2.8-liter engine's horsepower is really impressive, generally ranging between 130 to 170 horsepower depending on the specific model tuning. For example, in some light trucks or pickups like the Foton series, it's commonly around 150 horsepower—great for climbing hills, fuel-efficient, and reliable. More horsepower means quicker acceleration from a standstill, but when hauling heavy loads, avoid stomping on the gas to prevent damaging engine components. I've test-driven it several times; in city driving, it averages around 12 liters per 100 km, and maintenance is simple—just regular oil changes and air filter replacements. Overall, the 2.8-liter Cummins offers well-balanced power. When choosing a vehicle, always check official specs for accuracy—don’t just rely on the seller’s claims.
