Business Wire
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) introduced innovations that will
achieve a low nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions future and achieve a
reduction in the carbon footprint, today at the IAA Commercial
Vehicles Show.
The Cummins technology display features a concept emissions
control system capable of minimizing emissions to levels previously
thought unfeasible, including a possible next level of Euro VII
regulations anticipated during the coming decade. Combine this with
the latest smart digital technologies and Cummins is representing
the next leap forward in diesel engine evolution.
“This innovative system allows further reduction in NOx and PM
emissions, while simultaneously improving fuel efficiency,” said
Tim Proctor, Cummins Executive Director of Product Management &
Market Innovation. “Other innovative technologies under development
by Cummins to reduce friction and parasitic losses will also
continue to make the diesel engine even more productive and energy
efficient. Additionally, the use of enhanced design tools and
advanced materials such as composites will bring opportunities to
reduce component weight while retaining strength, further enhancing
vehicle productivity.”
“While Cummins has a vigorous electrification program underway,
our other key message at IAA is that the diesel engine is not
standing still,” added Proctor. “With our technical advancements,
we see diesel remaining as the primary source of power in the
commercial vehicle sector for the foreseeable future. Cummins is
committed to ensuring the power of choice is available for our
customers’ many different vehicle types, duty cycles and business
requirements.”
The concept emissions control system now under development by
Cummins, combines the turbocharged air management with the exhaust
aftertreatment as a single close-coupled system, together with a
new rotary turbine control (RTC). This new design fully utilizes
Cummins latest advances in air and thermal management to
immediately convert almost all NOx emissions to clean gas as it
interacts with the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit.
Advancements in hardware is not the only area of progress,
Cummins continues to innovate with a smart connected suite of
wireless monitoring, reporting, calibrating and servicing
applications to help boost vehicle uptime and reduce the total cost
of ownership. Cummins is looking ahead to accelerate digital
technology with over-the-air trim and parameter calibration,
empowering fleet managers with the ability to customize power and
speed settings to match unique business needs and driver behaviors,
road conditions and geographic coordinates.
Cummins ADEPTTM technology suite also releases the full
potential of powertrain automation to make every driver an expert
and improve fuel efficiency by up to 6 percent. Features such as
Predictive Cruise Control utilise the vehicle GPS to see the road 2
km ahead and precisely adjust speed ready for the upcoming terrain.
SmartCoast places the driveline into neutral on downhill gradients
using vehicle momentum to save fuel, while SmartTorque2 constantly
calculates the exact torque needed for the truck payload to
minimize downshifting.
