Cummins engines receive EPA certification

Cummins Inc. has announced that it received certification for its complete lineup of on-highway diesel and natural gas engines from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), meeting both the current EPA regulations and the second step in greenhouse gas (GHG) and fuel-efficiency standards which take effect in Jan. 2017.

Cummins is committed to providing customer-focused innovation as soon as it is ready,” said Amy Boerger, the company’s vice president of sales and support. “For example, efficiency improvements implemented in the 2016 ISX15 400 HP-to-475 HP ratings will provide customers with fuel economy gains over the 2013 ISX15, ranging from 2.5% on the base engine up to 7.5% with a SmartAdvantage Powertrain (pictured above) with ADEPT (SmartCoast) features.”
