“We take pride in our work and are committed to producing highquality products that provide outstanding value to our customers.” Jerry Lawson The Company has developed a specific line of environmentally safer products to ensure: • Reduced environmental impact • Lower operating costs and increased vehicle uptime • Excellent performance To achieve these results, Cummins Filtration offers an integrated system approach for equipment maintenance with environmentally friendly product choices for all major engine systems. This stable of green products includes the following state-of-the-art technologies: Open Crankcase Ventilation The Fleetguard line of Open Crankcase Ventilation meets global emission standards for 2007 and protects the environment by: • Reducing blow-by oil emissions to the atmosphere by more than 65 percent • Lowering PM emissions • Reducing oily residues on the back of vehicles • Reducing oil drip by 99 percent, eliminating oil dripping onto roads, crops, bodies of water, garages and driveways • Reducing oil waste and clean-up costs • Minimizing engine downtime and lowering maintenance costs 44 Cummins Inc. 2007 Sustainability Report Oil and Fuel Modules with Incinerable Replacement Cartridges For more than ten years, Cummins Filtration has partnered with our OEM customers to create oil and fuel modules for heavy-duty applications. Originally, the modules were 100 percent metal, and the replacement cartridges were complex with multiple metal pieces. Today’s modules contain less metal and continue to progress toward increased sustainability. This continued evolution benefits the environment through: • Increased integration of composite materials in the housings, improving recyclability and decreasing weight • Replacing the need for heavy spin-on filters by using lighter-weight replacement cartridges • Reducing the number of components in the replacement cartridges • Removing metallic components from replacement cartridges for rust-free storage • Eliminating adhesives, paint and cured paper from the cartridges for reduced Volatile Organic Compounds • Reducing space in landfills with fully incinerable cartridges
San Luis Potosi Gets Energized, Helps Protect Environment The San Luis Potosi (SLP) facility hosted the city mayor and the Ministry of Ecology staff, as they delivered 2,000 kilograms of used batteries to the SLP plant for proper disposal in the summer of 2007. The batteries were collected by the municipality during the program called “Energize Yourself.” This program encouraged the correct disposal of batteries to prevent contamination of the environment, especially the subsoil. Cummins is the only authorized storage center in the state to provide such disposal. During the event, Mayor Jorge Lozano Armengol emphasized the importance of this program and thanked Cummins employees for their participation. SLP Plant Director Miguel Kindler also stressed the importance of supporting the environment through correctly disposing batteries. Allen Pierce, General Manager of Parts and Service Manufacturing, received the batteries from the mayor in a symbolic act to emphasize that Cummins is committed to advancing the community and protecting the environment.
