Part of the broadest full-size van engine lineup, the 6.6L V8 Duramax Diesel is available on select Chevy Express Cargo Vans and Commercial Cutaway Vans. With 250 hp, it generates more horsepower than any diesel competitor. Plus, its massive, 460 lb.-ft. of torque surpasses any gasoline or diesel engine in the full-size van market today.
Reasons to consider a diesel engine instead of gasoline:
Plan to use your Chevy Van for towing or expect to rack up a lot miles? If so, the available Duramax Diesel may suit your business requirements best.
- Torque: a diesel engine makes easy work of accelerating and maintaining speed on steep grades when hauling heavy loads or towing.
- Durability: Duramax Diesel is built with dependability and heavy-duty use in mind. For example, its oil-spray pistol cooling and an integral engine oil cooler help keep temperatures consistent over a wide operating range.
- Efficiency: Diesel combustion is inherently more efficient than a gasoline engine. This, combined with the higher energy density of diesel fuel, produces more energy from every gallon of fuel burned.
- Civilized Performance: Duramax is advanced engineered for powerful, quiet and efficient performance. It utilizes innovative design features such as a high-pressure, common rail fuel injection system designed by Bosch, and optimized to reduce both emissions and combustion noise.
