Cummins to Add SCR Technology in 2010 Engines
Diesel engine maker Cummins Inc. said Wednesday it will add selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment to its heavy-duty 2010 engines.
Cummins said it will combine recent advancements in SCR technology with engine systems, to provide its customers with significant fuel economy improvements, in addition to meeting the near-zero emissions levels required under 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards.
The adoption of SCR technology will include Cummins’ 11.9-liter and 15-liter ISX engines, which will use the new system.
Cummins Emission Solutions will supply integrated exhaust aftertreatment systems for Cummins Heavy-Duty and MidRange engines, the company said.
As previously announced, Cummins’ Heavy-Duty ISX engine family will incorporate the XPI fuel system, cooled exhaust gas recirculation, the Cummins VG turbocharger, particulate filters and advanced electronic controls.
“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,” he said in a statement.
