196 Cummins presented its next generation of ultra-clean diesel engines to a US audience at CONEXPO-CON/AGG.

The range has been designed to meet EU Stage V emissions regulations, and while such regulations do not directly affect north American customers, Cummins will seek EPA certification to Tier 4 Final standards to enable its engines to offer distinct advantages to north American manufacturers.

“This next generation of engines offers significant product and technology enhancements, and they will deliver significantly improved performance with lower installed costs for Tier 4 Final,” said Hugh Foden, executive director of Cummins’ off-highway business.

“These engines also offer lower running costs, lower weight and an easier installation,” he said.

Cummins Stage V engines extend from the 75kW 3.8litre F3.8 up to the 320kW, 9litre L9 engine platform.
