Underground Turbo Diesel

Dodge Ram Heavy Duty pickup equipped with Cummins 175-hp Turbo Diesel

:


Every underground mine site needs a big truck with big pulling power. And that's exactly what you get with every Dodge Ram Heavy Duty pickup equipped with a specially calibrated Cummins 175-hp Turbo Diesel. These trucks out-perform every other pickup at the mine site with their combination of low emission engine, maneuverability in tight, confined spaces and high payload.

No wonder it's the number one choice of underground coal mine operators in the U.S.

Our new 175-hp Turbo Diesel rating delivers unsurpassed performance and reliability with increased braking capacity, easy maintenance and a 5-year/100,000-mile (160,935 km) warranty. Best of all, it's the only pickup truck engine certified by MSHA for use in coal and metal/non-metal mining for all 50 states. By offering an emission reduction, the 175-hp Cummins will enable mine operators to reduce their annual expenditure on mine ventilation by $16,000 to $18,000 per year for each Dodge Ram vehicle in their fleet.

The Underground Dodge Ram equipped with the Cummins Turbo Diesel is also available to mine operators in Canada.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful information. Underground mine site actually need a big truck with high power intensity.  

I have just visited the given link and I would like to say thanks for sharing the information. The all-new 2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty pickup has just been awarded Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year award for 2010. New Cummins turbo diesel engine is the most powerful diesel in a heavy-duty pickup. I presently own a 2005 Ram diesel 5.9L and we wouldn't buy any other brand.
