COLUMBUS, Ind. — Cummins Inc. will add selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment to its heavy-duty products for 2010 to deliver the best fuel efficiency for its customers, the company reported Wednesday.


Cummins said it will combine recent advancements in catalyst technology with its unique engine systems. This is designed to provide customers with significant fuel economy improvements, in addition to meeting the near-zero emissions levels required by the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2010 regulations.


Cummins Emission Solutions, which provides SCR systems, will supply integrated exhaust aftertreatment systems for Cummins Heavy-Duty and MidRange engines.


As previously announced, Cummins' Heavy-Duty ISX engine family will incorporate the XPI fuel system, proven cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation, the Cummins VG turbocharger, Cummins Particulate Filter and advanced electronic controls for the best performance, fuel economy and reliability.


“Cummins' expertise in engine system integration means that we have the capability to make the engine systems and aftertreatment technologies work together seamlessly,” said Steve Charlton, vice president, heavy-duty engineering. “The addition of the new SCR catalyst technology ensures that Cummins will deliver the best fuel economy in the industry and total operating cost benefits to our customers.”
