Freightliner Trucks is offering two new horsepower ratings for the Coronado heavy-duty vehicle. The Caterpillar “King of the Hill” C15 engine is now available with 600 horsepower with 1,850 ft-lb of torque or 625 hp with 2,050 ft-lb of torque. These ratings are governed at 2100 rpm.
The Coronado's oversize 1,500-square-inch radiator provides superior cooling capacity for these C15 engines, which are certified and compliant to the EPA 2004 standards. Additionally, the C15 uses ACERT technology to reduce emissions. The Coronado is available with Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines with up to 550 hp as standard. Caterpillar C15 600- or 625-hp engines are optional.
