Cummins QSB6.7-C260 Industrial Diesel EngineProduct Description
The QSB6.7-C260 is Dongfeng Cummins' top-output variant in the QSB6.7 series, delivering 260HP with a 990 N.m torque peak at 1500 RPM — optimised for hydraulic-intensive construction equipment where low-RPM torque density is the primary selection criterion. It is powered by a High Pressure Common Rail fuel system with DCEC proprietary ECM control, and certified to Tier 3 / EU Stage IIIA for international project compliance. Primary applications include excavators, cranes, loaders, bulldozers, drill rigs and road rollers.

Series Comparison
All QSB6.7 variants share the same 6.7L, 107×124mm, 6-cylinder in-line architecture. Selection is determined by required power output and emission tier.
| Model | Rated Power | Peak Torque | Fuel System | Aspiration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QSB6.7-C130 | 133 HP @ 2200 RPM | 580 N·m @ 1400 RPM | HPCR | Turbo + Air-Air IC |
| QSB6.7-C133 | 133 HP @ 2200 RPM | 584 N·m @ 1450 RPM | Bosch Electronic | Turbo + CAC |
| QSB6.7-C170 | 170 HP @ 2000 RPM | 656 N·m @ 1400 RPM | Bosch Electronic | Turbo + CAC |
| QSB6.7-C190 | 190 HP @ 2200 RPM | 931 N·m @ 1400 RPM | Bosch Electronic | Turbo + CAC |
| QSB6.7-C220 | 220 HP @ 2200 RPM | 949 N·m @ 1500 RPM | Bosch Electronic | Turbo + CAC |
| QSB6.7-C260 ★ | 260 HP @ 2200 RPM | 990 N·m @ 1500 RPM | HPCR | Turbo + Air-Air IC |
Selection note: The C260 is the only QSB6.7 variant combining HPCR fuel system with Air-Air intercooling at the 2200 RPM rated speed point. If your application requires less than 220HP, the C190 or C220 with Bosch Electronic system may offer a cost advantage. Confirm equipment OEM's approved engine list before substitution.
Replacement Compatibility
The QSB6.7-C260 is a direct replacement candidate for earlier QSB6.7 series engines sharing the same block architecture (107×124mm bore/stroke, 6.7L displacement). Verify compatibility against the following before ordering:
Dimensional check: Engine envelope 1111×716×960mm — confirm chassis clearance and mount point alignment with existing installation.
Interface check: SAE flywheel housing and bell housing ratings must match the driven equipment's transmission or hydraulic pump interface.
Electrical check: Confirm ECM wiring harness connector compatibility; 24V systems require 24V/750A starter, 12V systems require 12V/500A starter.
Emission check: The QSB6.7-C260 is certified Tier 3 / Stage IIIA. Verify the destination country's in-use emission regulations before replacement — Stage IV/V variants exist for markets requiring higher compliance.
CPL verification: Provide your existing engine's ESN (Engine Serial Number) or nameplate CPL code when requesting a quote to confirm exact configuration match.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between QSB6.7-C260 and QSB6.7-C260-30?
The C260-30 is a sub-variant designation used by some DCEC suppliers to indicate a specific configuration batch; core specifications (260HP, 990 N.m, 6.7L) are identical. Confirm the configuration code (D313013CX03) and CPL at order stage.
Q2: Is the QSB6.7-C260 a direct replacement for my existing QSB6.7 engine?
All QSB6.7 variants share the same block architecture, but ECM calibration, fuel system type and emission certification differ by variant. Provide your ESN or CPL code for a confirmed compatibility check before ordering.
Q3: What emission standard does the QSB6.7-C260 meet?
The QSB6.7-C260 is certified to Tier 3 / EU Stage IIIA / China NS III. Stage IV/V variants exist for markets with stricter requirements — confirm destination country regulations before purchase.
Q4: Can this engine start in cold weather without auxiliary equipment?
The QSB6.7-C260 starts unaided at –12 °C; with an auxiliary pre-heating system, reliable cold start is rated to –24 °C.
Q5: What is the fuel system type — HPCR or Bosch electronic?
The C260 uses a High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) system with DCEC ECM control. Lower-output QSB6.7 variants (C133–C220) use Bosch Electronic systems — these fuel systems are not interchangeable.
Q6: How long does delivery take and what are the payment terms?
Standard lead time is 15 working days FOB Shenzhen. Payment is accepted by T/T or L/C; trade terms FOB, CIF and CNF are all available.
Q7: Are genuine Cummins spare parts available for the QSB6.7-C260?
Yes — genuine DCEC Cummins parts are stocked for the full service lifecycle. Provide your ESN or CPL code to ensure correct part number matching across injectors, turbo, overhaul kits and filters.
