Reciprocating internal combustion engine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Duramax I4 engine is a family of turbocharged diesel I4 engines sold by General Motors in 2.5 and 2.8 liter sizes as an option for the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Savana in southeast Asia and Oceania (Australia / New Zealand) from 2012, and in North America from 2016 through 2022.

GM purchased a 50% stake in VM Motori from Penske Automotive in 2007. In 2010, VM released the A 428 (four-cylinder, 2.8 L displacement), developed from the earlier R 428, which was sold in North America briefly as an optional engine for the Jeep Liberty for the 2005 and 2006 model years. Fiat acquired the other half of VM from Penske in 2011 and purchased GM's share in 2013; as part of the sale, GM retained the rights to build engines that had been developed during its ownership, including the A 428.[2]
In 2011, GM completed a new engine plant in Rayong, Thailand, commencing production in September of the R 425 and A 428 as Duramax XLD25 and XLD28, respectively, for the Chevrolet Colorado and Trailblazer sold in southeast Asia and, under the Holden marque, in Oceania.[3][4] In 2013, these engines were updated as the Duramax LKH (2.5L) and LWH (2.8L), improving output and fuel consumption.[5][6]
The Rayong plant began producing the 2.8L Duramax I4 LWN starting in 2015, modified to meet emissions regulations in the United States.[2][7]
RPO LWN was first introduced in 2016 and continued until 2022, after GM Thailand was dissolved in 2020. It is a 16-valve design with high-pressure common-rail direct injection. The diesel engine was discontinued after the 2022 model year.[8][9]
The following trucks use the LWN:
RPO XLD25 (LP2) was sold in Thailand, meeting Euro 4 emissions standards. It is a turbocharged 16V DOHC 2.5 L; 152.5 cu in (2,499 cc) engine with common-rail direct injection. The bore and stroke are 92 and 94 mm (3.62 and 3.70 in), respectively, with a rated output of 132 kW (177 hp; 179 PS) at 3,600 rpm and 440 N⋅m (320 lbf⋅ft) at 2,000 rpm.[10]
As originally released, the Duramax XLD25 had an output of 110 kW (150 hp) at 3,800 RPM and 350 N⋅m (260 lbf⋅ft) at 2,000 RPM.[11]
As originally released, the Duramax XLD28 had an output of 132 kW (177 hp) at 3,800 RPM and 440 or 470 N⋅m (320 or 350 lbf⋅ft) at 2,000 RPM, depending on the transmission.[11]
