Turbocharger package cuts emissions and boosts fuel efficiency
Cummins’ latest turbocharger innovation has been extended to the 500-series, with an electronically wastegated turbocharger that delivers efficiency gains of up to 8% as a result of changes to the exhaust turbine. By more closely matching turbine wheels to the compressor, greater fuel efficiency is achieveable, said the firm. The 500-series turbocharger is also said to offer improved resistance to oil leakage by 200% over the current industry standard.

Concrete production technology is advancing as new systems come to market – Mike Woof reports The efficient production of high-quality concrete is crucial to many construction projects. Whether high-output plants are being used for large bridge or tunnel projects, or smaller mobile units are being used to supply specific operations such as central reservation barrier installation, the quality of the product is vital. Production technology has improved across the board due to the introduction of new systems.
A dimensionally accurate replica of the famous Napier Railton race car which created a sensation during the 1930s with a series of record-breaking achievements will be shown by Cummins.
The Cummins Napier Railton, to be seen alongside the line-up of latest engine technology, is powered by a Cummins 6.7litre diesel, the same base engine widely used in many types of construction equipment, including excavators and wheeled loaders.
