The Freightliner 114SD now has an option for a Cummins X12 engine, which offers up to 500 horsepower and 1,700 pounds-foot (2,305 newton meters) of torque. Freightliner says the engine, which weighs in at 2,050 pounds (930 kilograms), “is up to 600 pounds lighter than other medium-bore engines in the 10- to 13-liter category.” For that reason, the Cummins X12 is well suited for vocational configurations where cutting weight can lead to more room for optional features or extra payload capacity, such as dump trucks, mixer trucks, and others.

“We are dedicated to providing vocational customers with a wide range of powertrain options to meet the specific needs of their businesses,” says Kelly Gedert, director of product marketing for Freightliner Trucks and Detroit Components. “By adding the Cummins X12 to our engine portfolio, we give the already versatile 114SD yet another option, showing our commitment to providing customers a choice.”
