Kohler propane engine designed to reduce emissions

Kohler launched the Command PRO EFI propane engine (model PCV680LE). An addition to the company’s EFI lineup, the PCV680LE twin-cylinder, vertical-shaft engine significantly lowers exhaust emissions due to an integrated catalyst and optimized fueling, according to the company.

“Low-emission technology is important for the environment, as well as users, and our goal is to ensure that alternative-fuel engines perform as well or better than gasoline- or diesel-fueled products,” says Quinn Derby, marketing manager of gasoline engines. “We are continuously refining our products and developing new ones, as a way to continue to reduce emissions without sacrificing performance.”

An alternative to gasoline- and diesel-fueled engines, the PCV680LE 22-hp model is a cleaner-burning, more fuel-efficient alternative for commercial equipment. It saves significantly on fuel costs with less downtime for refueling, the company says. It also provides over 80 percent less exhaust emissions. Closed-loop EFI technology allows the PCV680LE to optimize performance by automatically adapting to operating conditions, Kohler adds.

EFI engines also offer automotive-like turnkey starting and eliminate carburetors and their associated maintenance.
