The Atlas Copco QAS 175 FD is a 175 kVA portable diesel generator powered by an FPT (Fiat Powertrain) N67TEVP01 6.7L inline-6 engine. Delivering 140 kW prime / 154 kW standby, it is one of two FPT-powered units in the QAS range. The sound-attenuated enclosure keeps noise to 69 dBA at 7 meters at 75% load — 5-8 dB quieter than most competitors in the 125-175 kW portable class. EPA Tier 4 Final and CARB compliant, it is legal for operation throughout California without restriction.
The QAS 175 pairs the FPT N67 platform — widely used across construction and marine applications — with a Leroy Somer TAL 044J alternator featuring Class H insulation and voltage regulation within ±0.25%. The engine runs at 1800 RPM and delivers strong fuel economy at 7 gph at 75% load. With a 194-gallon integral diesel tank and an 11-gallon DEF tank, the unit offers roughly 27-28 hours of continuous runtime at typical job-site loads. Three-phase 277/480V output at 60 Hz serves most commercial electrical panels directly, making the QAS 175 a versatile mid-range workhorse for rental fleets and temporary power applications.
Atlas Copco's Swedish engineering is evident in the QAS 175's quiet operation, compact footprint, and fuel efficiency. The FPT N67 engine is a reliable platform with broad parts availability. Where Atlas Copco falls short in Northern California is after-sale service: unreturned calls, $311+/hr travel charges, and parts delays are the most common complaints we hear from fleet operators and rental houses. OnPoint provides a local Bay Area and NorCal service alternative — responsive scheduling, transparent pricing, and technicians who know FPT engines and Leroy Somer alternators. If you own or rent QAS units in Northern California, we are here to keep them running.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the prime and standby rating of the Atlas Copco QAS 175?
The QAS 175 delivers 140 kW prime power and 154 kW standby power. It is one of two FPT-powered models in the QAS lineup and outputs three-phase 277/480V at 60 Hz.
What engine does the Atlas Copco QAS 175 use?
The QAS 175 is powered by an FPT N67TEVP01 6.7-liter inline-6 diesel engine running at 1,800 RPM. FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) is a proven industrial engine platform widely used in construction and marine applications. The same N67 engine is used in the larger QAS 235.
What are the service intervals for the QAS 175?
Oil changes are due every 500 hours or 12 months, whichever comes first. Air filter and fuel filter replacement intervals are 500 hours. Major engine overhaul is specified at 20,000 hours. The unit includes an 11-gallon DEF tank for SCR aftertreatment requiring periodic refill.
Is the Atlas Copco QAS 175 EPA Tier 4 Final compliant?
Yes. The QAS 175 is EPA Tier 4 Final and CARB compliant, legal for operation throughout California. The FPT N67TEVP01 uses SCR aftertreatment with an 11-gallon DEF tank integrated into the unit.
How does the QAS 175 differ from the QAS 235?
Both the QAS 175 and QAS 235 use the same FPT N67TEVP01 engine and 194-gallon fuel tank. The QAS 235 extracts 187 kW prime (vs. 140 kW) through a larger Leroy Somer TAL 044M alternator vs. the QAS 175's TAL 044J. Both operate at 69 dBA.
What fuel does the Atlas Copco QAS 175 use?
The QAS 175 runs on diesel with DEF required for SCR aftertreatment. The 194-gallon integral diesel tank provides approximately 27-28 hours of runtime at 75% load (7 gal/hr). An 11-gallon DEF tank is integrated into the unit.
Who services Atlas Copco generators in Northern California?
