Cummins Announces 2013 Engines for North American Trucks12:00 EDT Wednesday, March 21, 2012
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Business Wire) -- Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today its product solutions that will
be available to North American trucking customers in 2013. Product
improvements continue to offer customers better reliability and better
fuel economy across a full lineup of diesel and natural gas commercial
vehicle engines.
Cummins engines will deliver up to 2 percent fuel economy improvement
over today's products and will use the same proven high-pressure common
rail fuel systems, VGT™ Turbocharger and fully integrated electronics
for improved combustion efficiency, performance and reliability. Base
engine improvements reduce the parasitic load on the engine through
high-efficiency water, fuel and lube pump systems. Cummins engines will
meet the 2014 fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) standards
beginning in January 2013.
“Customers can count on Cummins,” said Rich Freeland, Cummins Vice
President and President – Engine Business. “We met the EPA 2010 standard
on time, and our engines have earned their industry-leading reputation
for great reliability and fuel economy. Our product development teams
are delivering even better products where it counts – to our customers –
and our engines are meeting the 2014 fuel-efficiency and GHG standards a
full year early.”
Cummins will build on the success of its U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) 2010 MidRange and Heavy-Duty products with the same capable
base engines and emissions architecture for 2013. All commercial vehicle
diesel engines feature the Cummins Emission Solutions EcoFit™ Ultra-Low
Emissions exhaust aftertreatment system, integrating a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD), proven on hundreds of thousands of engines
since 2007, will be extended across the entire lineup.
In addition to the broad diesel lineup from the ISB6.7 to the ISX15,
Cummins will continue to offer the Cummins Westport ISL G, the
top-selling natural gas engine, and it will introduce the Cummins
Westport ISX12 G into full production in 2013. Cummins Westport is a
joint venture between Cummins Inc. and Westport Innovations.
