Kohler Engines has unveiled its most fuel efficient commercial engine with best-in-class horsepower and torque. The 824cc Command PRO EFI engine features a highly-tuned air intake system that enhances airflow to maximize power and torque. The company's closed-loop, electronic fuel injection system, when coupled with the new design, makes the 824 Kohler's most fuel-efficient commercial engine in its line-up. The engine will be available on numerous commercial mowers for the 2015 model year.

"When it comes to engines, you often have to choose between power and fuel efficiency," said Mark Johansen, director of marketing for Kohler Engines. "With the 824, you get both. This engine is designed to help commercial cutters power through the toughest jobs while reducing downtime and minimizing fuel costs."

The 824 achieves maximum torque and fuel economy through a number of unique design features. In addition to an optimized intake manifold, the engine features two spark plugs per cylinder head, which provides enhanced combustion to maximize fuel efficiency and engine torque.

Highly engineered baffles, cylinder heads and specially designed crankcase fins provide efficient engine cooling to provide maximum reliability and durability. A commercial high-density air cleaner helps minimize debris reaching the engine. Also available is an optional electronic governor, which delivers better throttle response, engine load pickup and stability, thus resulting in applying the available power more efficiently.


The Command PRO 824 is available in four models (ECV850, ECV860, ECV870 and ECV880) that offer between 27 and 33 horsepower and best-in-class peak torque, as well as offering fuel efficiency that will allow commercial users to save at least $600 per engine per year in fuel costs over similar sized carbureted engines, based on typical commercial cutter usage.
