Overview
The Cummins L360 is a 8.9 L 6-cylinder Cummins diesel engine supplied in 2 factory ratings from 354 hp (264 kW) to 355 hp (265 kW). Every rating listed on this page is a complete engine for on-highway duty, not a generator set, and each unit ships with its serial number recorded against the specification sheet that applies to it.
Ratings in this family differ in rated speed, peak torque and emissions tier rather than in displacement or cylinder count, so the choice between them is a duty-matching question. The specifications panel and the per-rating entries on this page are generated from the same source data, so a rating quoted here can be matched directly against a delivery document.
Specifications
The specifications panel lists the family-level values that are common to every L360 rating, including the 8.9 L displacement and the inline 6-cylinder layout. Ratings that share displacement and cylinder count but differ in output are listed individually in the model selection section.
Model Selection: L360 Ratings
Each entry in this section is one rating of the Cummins L360. The rated power is the output at the stated speed; the peak torque figure is the value the rating develops at the lower speed shown, which is what normally decides whether a rating suits a given machine. Each rating carries a stable anchor, so a single rating can be linked or quoted directly.
L360 20
L360 20 — rated 264 kW (354 hp) at 2200 rpm; peak torque 1480 N·m at 1400 rpm; emissions EuroII.
L360 30
L360 30 — rated 265 kW (355 hp) at 2200 rpm; peak torque 1480 N·m at 1400 rpm; emissions EuroIII.
Applications
L360 engines in this family are normally specified for on-highway work.
On-highway: ratings are selected against the gross vehicle weight, the intended road speed and the emissions standard that applies in the destination market.
Emissions: the ratings listed here carry EuroII or EuroIII. Where a market imposes a different standard, confirm the tier before ordering, because the same model number can be built to more than one tier.
Verification, Documentation and Ordering
Each engine is offered with nameplate verification + load-test record per serial number. That means the model and rating printed on the engine nameplate can be checked against the record issued for that serial number before shipment, which is the point most buyers of re-rated or re-exported engines want covered.
To receive a quotation, send the exact rating from the matrix above (for example L360 30), the machine or application it will drive, the quantity, and the destination port. If the rating you need is not listed, send the model and the required output and we will confirm whether it belongs to this family or to a neighbouring one.
Buyer tip: Send your L360 specification, quantity and destination port for a verified quotation and lead time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the power range of the L360?
The 2 ratings listed on this page run from 354 hp (264 kW) to 355 hp (265 kW).
What displacement and cylinder count does the L360 use?
Every rating in this family shares the same 8.9 L displacement and inline 6-cylinder, 4-cycle configuration. Ratings differ in output, rated speed and emissions tier rather than in the base engine.
What is the difference between L360 20 and L360 30?
L360 20 is rated 264 kW (354 hp) at 2200 rpm with peak torque of 1480 N·m, while L360 30 is rated 265 kW (355 hp) at 2200 rpm with 1480 N·m. They use the same base engine; the higher rating is the one to specify when the driven load needs the extra torque at the lower speed.
Which emissions tiers are available for the L360?
The ratings on this page are listed as EuroII and EuroIII. Emissions tier is part of the rating definition, so state the tier your market requires when you request a quotation.
How is a L360 rating ordered?
Send the exact rating shown in the model selection table, the application it will drive, the quantity and the destination port. The engine is then quoted against that rating and confirmed against its nameplate and load-test record.
At what speed is the L360 rated?
The ratings on this page are governed at 2200 rpm. Rated speed fixes the speed the driven machine sees through its gearing, so confirm the governed speed before ordering rather than relying on the power figure alone.
What peak torque does the L360 develop?
The rating listed here develops 1480 N·m of peak torque at the lower speed shown.
Is the L360 a complete engine or a generator set?
Every entry on this page is a complete engine. Generator sets and packaged gen-sets are listed separately from this family and are not included here.
