"By teaming these performance-commercial engines with our premium Vanguard(TM) engines, equipment manufacturers have new options for powering equipment designed for a wide variety of applications, allowing them to develop products with added value to end-users."
A number of commercial engine features highlight the new CP Series engines, including:
