Saving 10,000 yuan in fuel costs annually, operating continuously for up to 72 hours without shutdown, running 15,000 hours with zero breakdowns, and improving work efficiency by at least 20%.
These real-world figures come from the Sany SY125C excavator equipped with a F4.5 engine manufactured by Beijing Foton Cummins, deployed at Huidong Earthwork Engineering Co., Ltd. in Putuo District, Zhoushan City. The company operates 13 such excavators.
Precise Cost Accounting, Real Cost Savings
When selecting engines, General Manager Xu places strong emphasis on brand reputation, after-sales service, and total lifecycle cost of equipment. The Cummins F4.5 not only offers convenient maintenance and hassle-free servicing but also delivers impressive fuel efficiency. Compared to similar excavators, it can operate an extra half-day or even a full day on the same tank of fuel, significantly reducing operational costs and boosting overall profitability.
Assuming nine hours of daily operation, fuel expenses for a Cummins engine would be around 400 yuan, while a comparable model might cost 450 yuan. With each excavator running approximately 2,000 hours per year, this translates into annual savings of 10,000 yuan.
Withstanding High Loads, Enduring Long-Term Operations
Working conditions near the coast are humid, occasionally affected by wind and waves-posing significant challenges to engine corrosion resistance and stability. The F4.5 engine excels under heavy loads and handles the complex conditions in Zhoushan with ease. It has achieved continuous operation for 72 hours without interruption and maintained over 15,000 hours of trouble-free performance. Notably, the entire engine cover has never needed to be opened during this period, earning high praise from both site supervisors and operators.
For the past seven or eight years, Cummins engines have never let us down. They operate smoothly without stalling or requiring major repairs-truly reliable.
They handle heavy-duty tasks with ease and maintain high efficiency.
When facing hard rock underground in Zhoushan, engine power reserve is crucial. The Cummins F4.5 delivers rapid response and strong digging force. It digs through tough rocks without stalling or emitting black smoke. Whether leveling ground or loading trucks, it maintains a clean, efficient work rhythm, boosting productivity by at least 20%.
User feedback speaks volumes. It is solid proof of real performance.
