Turbochargers and Air Handling

Cummins is the only manufacturer focused solely on medium to heavy-duty diesel engine turbo technologies. For more than 60 years, we have delivered innovative, reliable turbocharger solutions for our customers. Our vision for turbocharger solutions, thanks to our rich company heritage derived from our Holset brand, sets us apart as a technology leader.

Commercial diesel engines require advanced technologies that deliver efficiency and meet strict emissions requirements. Our fixed, wastegate, variable, two-stage, turbo-compounding and waste heat expander technologies were specifically developed to deliver higher efficiency and lower cost.

Today, Cummins Turbo Technologies engineers are actively developing state of the art solutions for the next generation, including assisted turbocharging, new bearing systems and enhanced compressor stage performance.

Fixed Geometry Turbochargers

The Holset brand has its roots in fixed geometry technology, turbochargers which funnel all the exhaust gas to the turbine to boost engine power. With over 60 years experience of meeting customer power requirements, Cummins Turbo Technologies’ expertise of this technology is tried and tested, and today produces some of the world’s most optimized, efficient and reliable turbochargers.

Variable Geometry Turbochargers

The Holset VGT™ from Cummins Turbo Technologies pioneered Variable Geometry (VG) technology for the commercial vehicle market in 1998. Featuring a patented sliding nozzle ring, the Holset VGT offers a wide flow range that allows for higher boost pressures at low engine speeds. VG technology provides the most fuel-efficient means of driving short-route Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), which is used to reduce NOx levels.

Wastegate Turbochargers

Wastegate technology helps to prevent turbocharger over-speeding, as well as engine overboost. The well-engineered Holset wastegate turbochargers employ the same industry-leading design techniques used throughout Cummins. Wastegate turbochargers improve upon fixed geometry units with an overall 3% increase in efficiency, and they can be optimized for various aftertreatment systems.
