MackPower rolls out industrial engine


MackPower's new industrial engine, I-E7, is available in power configurations from 270 to 373 kW (360 to 500 hp).

The MackPower business unit of Mack Trucks, Inc. has introduced an industrial version of the Mack E7 E-Tech engine. According to Scott Kress, Mack Vice President - Business Development, and General Manager of the MackPower business unit, the new I-E7 will serve a variety of applications, including mining, power generation, industrial, agricultural, construction, material handling, as well as pumps and compressors.

"The Mack E7 engine is a well-known, well-respected product with years of proven performance, efficiency, and reliability on the highway," said Kress. "Now a variety of industrial operations can take advantage of the same technology to meet their mobile off-highway and stationary engine needs."

The in-line, six-cylinder, 24-valve, intercooled design is available in power configurations ranging from 270 to 373 kW (360 to 500 hp). The I-E7 offers several features common to its truck-driving cousin including electronically controlled fuel injection through the use of electronic unit pumps with the Mack V-MAC III electronic control system. Other features include high swirl combustion chambers for increased fuel efficiency and smoke control, dual full flow spin-on oil system with 32-L (8.5-gal) capacity, and steel crown articulated pistons and wet/dry cylinder liners for durability.

All I-E7 engines will be manufactured at the Mack Powertrain Operations in Hagerstown, MD, where MackPower engineers and product development specialists have been centralized.
