Having the ability to meet a broader range of customer needs with an expanded product line using Cummins proven technology is our formula for success in 2010 and beyond. The Right Technology for Reducing Emissions Leadership in combustion research, fuel systems, air-handling systems, electronics, filtration and aftertreatment allows Cummins to maintain its goal of maximizing customer value by providing the most appropriate emissions control for each market served. Cummins’ diverse product portfolio meets or exceeds all emissions requirements, and at the same time, delivers on customer needs for fuel economy, performance, reliability and durability. In the fall of 2007, Cummins announced its technology approach for on-highway engines to meet the more stringent 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s diesel emissions standards. The Company will use an evolution of its proven 2007 solutions to maintain power and torque with comparable fuel economy and maintenance intervals the same as today. Cummins will offer a complete lineup of on-highway engines to meet the near-zero 2010 emissions standards. Heavy-Duty Solutions Key ingredients of the Cummins 2010 Heavy-Duty lineup include: • NOx reduction will be achieved by an integrated technology solution comprised of the XPI High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system, next-generation cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), advanced electronic controls, proven air handling and the Cummins Particulate Filter. 38 Cummins Inc. 2007 Sustainability Report Performance Indicators: Products • Cummins will expand the Heavy-Duty X platform in North America to three displacements with the introduction of an 11.9L engine and a 16L engine to complement its flagship 15L product. The engines will share a common architecture including the XPI HPCR fuel system. The expansion will enable Cummins to meet a broader array of customer needs, and marks the first time in nearly 20 years the Company has had a common architecture across its industryleading Heavy-Duty products. Having the ability to meet a broader range of customer needs with an expanded product line using Cummins’ proven technology is our formula for success in 2010 and beyond. Designing and producing the best-in-class Heavy-Duty diesel requires expertise in combustion, air handling, fuel systems, electronic controls and exhaust aftertreatment. That expertise and the ability to balance customer and environmental needs drive Cummins’ innovation. The next-generation cooled EGR is key to reducing emissions and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). EGR technology will not add complexity to the vehicle; and power, torque, fuel economy and maintenance intervals will stay the same. Cummins presently leads the U.S. on-highway truck market with cooled-EGR technology. Cummins also will continue to use its proven Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VG Turbo), which bolsters total engine performance from power output to response to superior engine braking,
Cummins Mercruiser Diesel Powers Efficiency and Economy on Puget Sound Ivan Reiff’s childhood memories of life with a fisherman father in Florida led him to Washington State’s Puget Sound, where he found little San Juan Island and a wonderful profession. In 2003, he and his wife, Jacquelyn, bought the Western Prince II, a 46-foot fiberglass boat used to take people to see orcas, the beautiful mammal commonly known as killer whales, in their natural habitat. The Reiffs have been careful to maintain an environmentally responsible operation out of concern for the future of the whales. They are members of the Northwest Whale Watcher Operators Association and adhere to that group’s guidelines for operating power boats in the vicinity of whales. On their own, they also began burning biodiesel fuel in the boat’s two-cycle main engines. Recently, they replaced the Western Prince’s aging engines with a pair of Cummins’ new Tier II compliant QSL9-405 MCD engines from Bellingham’s Tri-County Diesel. These 400 bhp 9-litre 6-cylinder engines have evolved to meet the stringent emissions requirements of the EPA. A high-pressure common rail fuel system virtually eliminates start-up white smoke and black smoke, improves fuel economy and significantly reduces noise. While the Cummins QSL9 meets the Tier II emission requirements, it also has other significant advantages for a boat like the Western Prince II, which routinely takes 30 passengers on natural history tours. By incorporating the latest engine technology, the new engines add to passenger comfort while generating bottom-line savings. Environment This Cumminspowered boat uses biodiesel fuel to take people to view killer whales in their natural habitat. 39
