This Freightliner Century came in for a dyno tune chasing increased fuel economy, as well as improved power and torque!
Powered by its 14L Series 60 engine rated at 524Hp and 2508Nm at the flywheel from factory.
In essence, this beast was needing some refreshments in power and torque to make the long hauls at full load that little bit easier, with attention to keeping fuel costs at a minimum.
As shown above, we can see stock runs (Green) totalled up to 435.0Hp and 2024.1Nm of torque measured at the wheels. Subsequently, we found an expected -20% Power and -24% torque driveline loss when comparing flywheel ratings to actual power at the wheels.
Comparatively, the modified runs come in at 492.3Hp and 2243Nm of torque! A healthy increase of 13% in power and 11% in torque.
In this instance, the Freightliner Century picked up +13% Power and +11% torque. A significant gain for this Series 60 engine, making the estimated flywheel rating 593HP and 2779Nm!
As outlined above, the Freightliner Century is rated at 524Hp and 2508Nm from factory at the flywheel.
This increase will ensure the customer will have no troubles getting around at max load, overall better driveability and will see improved fuel economy too!
