Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A CUMMINS 10-litre engine is being offered as an alternative to the updated International Harvester DT 466 power unit for Seddon Atkinson's 64 301 model.

More power, 157kW (211bhp) at 2,200 rpm compared with 145kW (194bhp) at 2,600rpm, and greater torque, 843Nm (622 Ibft) at 1,300rpm compared with 610Nm (450 lbft) at 1,900rpm, requires the inclusion of the stronger Fuller RTX6609 gearbox but at a cost of 164kg in overall payload.

With the same final drive ratio of 5.37 to 1, the Cumminspowered model has a speed of 108km/h (67mph) and gives a gradeability of 1 in 3.46 against the International's top speed of 93km/h (58mph) and gradeability of 1 in 4.59.
