Meeting EU stage V emissions requirements has resulted in Cummins’s development of a compact single module exhaust after-treatment package. Said to be 50% smaller and 30% lighter than those used for EU stage IV systems, the single canister design has been made possible from the use of advanced catalyst technologies that deliver improved particulate matter and NOx reduction capabilities. In addition, the DPF’s passive regeneration minimise the need for preventative cleaning and maintenance, said Cummins.
Key manufacturers in the asphalt plant market, Ammann, Benninghoven and Marini, are developing systems able to use alternative fuels to reduce CO2 emissions.
Cummins will extend its QSF engine line-up at Intermat with new configurations focused on simplified installation packages intended for rental equipment applications.
The engines, across the 37-55kW power range, meet EU and EPA low-emissions regulations, and the new QSF2.8 ratings will be introduced without Charge Air Cooling (CAC) to offer “a cost-effective power solution for space-constrained installations.” The QSF3.8 will be available at a lower 55kW rating with the Cummins ‘fit and forget’ Diesel Ox
