Speaking with the EDF’s Fred Krupp, Linebarger makes a strong case for how environmental stewardship is paying off for Cummins. “We’ve been an innovator since the very beginning: on the diesel engine, natural gas engines and on emission controls,” Linebarger tells Krupp. “We see customer and environmental challenges as opportunities to demonstrate leadership and innovation.”

“With its best-in-class power-to-weight ratio, Cummins believes that the X12 engine will be well suited to address the needs of the refuse market as well as other weight sensitive vocational applications,” said Brett Merrit, Vice President – Cummins On-Highway Engine Business.  “Autocar is a key player in the North America refuse market and this introduction will further our current collaboration across diesel and natural gas platforms.” 

Cummins today introduced an electric system for city bus, shuttle and intercity bus applications in Turkey at the BUSWORLD show taking place in Izmir. The system is configurable either for a full battery electric vehicle (BEV) or a range extended electric vehicle (REEV) incorporating an engine-generator to combine energy delivery with the battery pack.

Cummins today announced that over 4,000 clean diesel Euro VI buses are operating in Turkiye powered by the F3.8, B4.5, B6.7 and L9 engines across a broad 115 to 246 kW (154-330 hp) output. Since first introduced in early 2016, Cummins Euro VI engines have been widely used in city bus, shuttle, intercity and tourist  bus applications to make a significant contribution to improving air quality and lowering CO2 greenhouse gas emissions.

“These engines do more with less, offering higher power output and torque for improved machine capability in a smaller, lighter package that is cheaper to run. Simpler architecture with fewer parts means they are more reliable, and more productive,” said Eric Neal, Executive Director, Cummins Off-Highway business.

Displayed on stand F021 in hall 5A, the range extended electric driveline (REEV) is suitable for a wide range of equipment including wheeled loaders, mobile cranes and excavators. “Cummins is developing a portfolio of alternative power for the industrial market, including full electric and range extending electric drivelines.  These complement our Stage V clean diesels and enable us to offer the best solutions for our customers, whatever their needs,” said Julie Furber, Executive Director, Cummins Electrified Power Business.

Cummins is moving quickly to develop the company’s new electrification business, displaying technologies it’s working on at trade shows this month in Paris and Izmir, Turkey. The company’s Electrified Power business unveiled an electric system for city bus, shuttle and intercity bus applications at Busworld in Izmir, Turkey, last week (April 19-21). And the business is displaying its first electrified off-highway powertrain concept suitable for cranes, excavators and wheeled loaders at Intermat in Paris through Saturday (April 23-28).

Located in the San Fernando de Henares region, this new site is better equipped to serve Cummins customers in Spain.

Following the success of two Power Seminars in the Colombian cities of Cali and Manizales in 2016, Cummins dealer Tecnodiesel last month hosted a new series of three events in Popayán, Cali and Pasto. The success of these latest Power Seminars means three more are planned for later this year, and the seminars will now become a regular annual occurrence.

At the Middle East Electricity (MEE) Exhibition, held from 6-8th of March in Dubai, Cummins showcased its skills in the Power System sector with the on-stand presence of a DMC8000 Simulator.
