The new mobile app reduces the need to drive to a certified service location or wait for a technician to arrive on site. Customers can view prioritized engine faults using the Guidanz mobile app paired with an INLINE™ mini Bluetooth® adapter, which provides critical information they can quickly share with their operations manager or service provider. By either emailing the operations manager directly from the app or calling Cummins Care, initiating the service process is faster and easier than ever with data available at the fingertips of our customers.

When Rahul was eight years old, he had an electrifying epiphany.  “During the summers, my cousins and I would go to our grandma’s house in India. Our schools always assigned a summer project, and one of my older cousins decided to build a small-scale wind turbine for his,” Rahul says. His cousin bought all the parts, set up the system and created a generator. When it was completed, curiosity got the best of Rahul — a mischievous eight-year-old who couldn’t help himself.

Isolating and interpreting key engine and aftertreatment data every day, Connected Advisor provides customers with prioritized, time-based recommendations to distinguish between immediate repair needs and those that can be scheduled a few days out. Fault reports, including probable causes and recommended actions, are sent to fleet managers daily to help initiate the repair process. For faults requiring prompt attention, immediate notification reports are provided to alert a fleet manager.

As engine manufacturers began providing high power density engines for better fuel economy and lower cost of ownership for their customers, a need for better engine brake performance at lower rpm became important. While engine manufacturers sought ways to make the engine more efficient, vehicle manufacturers focused on areas such as decreasing aerodynamic drag and reducing rolling resistance from the tires. Together, the need for higher engine brake power was even greater.
