Economical, powerful and reliable
All three CASE models feature a proven proprietary engine developed by Powertrain specialist FPT Industrial and built in the CNH Industrial ?s plant in Greater Noida, the S8000, which stands out for its fuel efficiency and performance. The 3.9 litre, four-cylinder engine delivers rated power of 76hp, 86hp and 96hp at a rated speed of 1,400 rpm for the 770 EX, 770 EX Magnum and 851 EX respectively.

The engine features an air aftercooler system that increases the density of the intake air, improving efficiency and decreasing fuel consumption. The powerful performance and fast response time coupled with a 5% higher productivity and fuel savings of up to 13% make it the most fuel efficient engine in the market with a reduced fuel consumption equal of 3.97 l/h in excavation work, which means for the customer average savings of Rs 50,000 per year. Since the first generation of the S8000 engine was introduced over 45 years ago, the engine family has undergone a continuous evolution, introducing regular updates and innovations to increase power, performance and efficiency. The result is today ?s high performance engine, which has proven its economy and reliability with more than 3 million engines produced all over the world, and over 150,000 units manufactured just in India and at work in a wide variety of applications including agricultural tractors.
