Cummins, engine--Cummins Cites 2010 Engine Volumes

Cummins announced that it shipped nearly 37,000 EPA 2010-certified engines with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment in the months of January through September. The company said that engine shipment volumes and early customer experiences have further confirmed its confidence in SCR to meet near-zero NOx emissions standards and to deliver significant fuel economy improvements and to serve as a foundation to meet greenhouse gas and fuel-efficiency regulations.

Cummins manufactured EPA certified engines to more than 60 vehicle customers from its Jamestown, N.Y., Rocky Mount, N.C., and Columbus, Ind., facilities. The company said that customer feedback validates that the engines are delivering up to 6% better fuel economy as compared with their EPA 2007 counterparts.

"The positive feedback we're receiving from customers across North America in various environments is in line with both Cummins and customers' expectations of our 2010 products. SCR is a key factor in enabling our engines to achieve these fuel economy improvements and performance standards," said Rich Freeland, president - Engine Business.
