Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today that it will add Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment to its Heavy-Duty products for
2010 to deliver the best fuel efficiency for its customers.
Cummins will combine recent advancements in catalyst technology with its
unique engine systems. This will provide customers with significant fuel
economy improvements, in addition to meeting the near-zero emissions
levels required by the Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) 2010 regulations. Cummins Emission Solutions, a leading provider
of SCR systems, will supply integrated exhaust aftertreatment systems
for Cummins Heavy-Duty and MidRange engines.
As previously announced, Cummins' Heavy-Duty ISX engine family will
incorporate the XPI fuel system, proven cooled Exhaust Gas
Recirculation, the Cummins VG turbocharger, Cummins Particulate Filter
and advanced electronic controls for the best performance, fuel economy
and reliability.
“Cummins' expertise in engine system
integration means that we have the capability to make the engine systems
and aftertreatment technologies work together seamlessly,”
said Steve Charlton, Vice President, Heavy-Duty Engineering. “The
addition of the new SCR catalyst technology ensures that Cummins will
deliver the best fuel economy in the industry and total operating cost
benefits to our customers.”
“This move demonstrates Cummins’
ability to adapt to a changing environment by leveraging technology
advancements from our MidRange engine development and Cummins Emission
Solutions,” said Ed Pence, Vice President and
General Manager, Heavy-Duty Engine Business. “Our
2010 engine development is progressing on plan and customers can depend
on Cummins to deliver these new products on-time, with the reliability,
performance, and fuel economy that they have come to expect from us.”
