Combat Propulsion Systems
is proud to present its latest achievement to the
AVDS-1790 series diesel engine family, the AVDS-1790
1500 horsepower diesel engine.
Designed, developed and built in
Muskegon, MI, the AVDS-1790 1500 horsepower engine
retains the robust design and reliability of the
battle-proven core AVDS-1790 series and integrates
improved technology. These technologies include
electronic high-pressure common rail fuel injection
with embedded diagnostics, improved turbocharging
with integral wastegates, increased capacity air-to-air
aftercooling and engine oil-heat exchangers.
The AVDS-1790 series diesel engine
family is comprised of 750, 950, 1050, 1200 and
now 1500 horsepower-rated versions. AVDS-1790 advantages
include affordability, commonality, demonstrated
reliability and durability, increased fuel efficiency,
reduced operation and support costs, easy integration,
lower costs throughout the total life cycle, common
depot procedures and spare parts for worldwide
logistics support.
Today, there are more than 20,000
AVDS engines in operation around the world. CPS
believes that customers will be very receptive
to an affordable, 1500 horsepower diesel engine
based on the proven AVDS-1790 series diesel engine
family. The 1500 has a very low acquisition cost,
and in some cases, is equal to the cost of refurbishing
existing engines.
Fuel consumption and resupply are
also key factors in U.S. Army overseas operations.
With the procurement and installation of new common
fuel-efficient AVDS-1790 1500 horsepower engines
to our current combat vehicle fleets, CPS can help
improve our customers' warfighting capability while
dramatically reducing O&S costs.
