While the new 6.7L Cummins engine only improves on the 2025 RAM 2500 horsepower specs of the 6.4L HEMI® by about 25 ponies, the former is a diesel-powered engine and achieves this with far lower engine speeds (5,600 rpm for the HEMI® versus 2,800 rpm for the Cummins). Therefore, the 6.7L Cummins is more powerful than the HEMI® V8, especially when dealing with intense projects around Hahnville.
