Operating environment and fuel availability

Choose an engine that can operate efficiently in the dump truck’s specific environment, such as high altitude or extreme temperatures. Consider the availability and cost of the fuel type needed for the engine whether it is diesel, gasoline, natural gas or electric. Evaluate the fuel efficiency of different engines to determine the most cost-effective option for your operation.

Maintenance and repair costs

Opt for those dump truck engines which have a reputation for reliability and durability to minimize maintenance and repair costs. Choose engines that are easy to service and have readily available parts and service providers. Research the manufacturer’s warranty and support options to ensure adequate coverage for any issues that may arise.
