Hoping to further convey this pleasure to an even greater number of people, Yanmar has decided to serve as the OFFICIAL TOP MARINE PARTNER for this America's Cup, which will be the first to be held in Asia.

By sponsoring the America's Cup, Yanmar hopes to contribute to the further development of marine sports culture, as well as to the realization of its brand statement of "A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE" and the development of "a society that provides exciting experiences that are both spiritually rich and emotional".

CUMMINS POWERS SEVEN NEW LIUGONG® MACHINES Providing Tier 4 Final Engines for LiuGong’s New Excavators And Wheel Loaders

13 October 2016 for SAN DIEGO

Today, LiuGong launched their new Tier 4 Final Cummins powered E-Series excavators and H-Series wheel loaders at a special event for North American dealers in San Diego, CA. The latest machines feature cleaner engines, more efficient systems and offer a better operator experience than their predecessors.

“In utilizing Cummins Tier 4 Final engine expertise, state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and support in North America, LiuGong will provide more competitive products and technologies to our dealer partners and their end-use customers,” said Marcus Menough – Director of Sales and Marketing for LiuGong North America. “These advantages ensure that LiuGong delivers a fuel efficient, productive machine that contends in the competitive North American market.”

The new equipment models are powered by a range of Cummins engines certified to meet Tier 4 Final regulations:

• 915E Excavator – QSB4.5 – 121 hp (91 kW)
• 922E Excavator – QSB6.7 – 173 hp (129 kW)
• 925E Excavator – QSB6.7 – 190 hp (142 kW)
• 930E Excavator – QSB6.7 – 228 hp (170 kW)
• 936E Excavator – QSL9 – 296 hp (221 kW)
• 856H Wheel Loader – QSB6.7 – 225 hp (168 kW)
• 890H Wheel Loader – QSG12 – 350 hp (261 kW)

The 915E, 922E, 925E, 930E and 936E excavator models will feature a host of improvements from the Tier 3 versions. Changes to the cab make the E-Series more aesthetically pleasing, while better features in-cab provide a state-of-the-art working environment. LiuGong has also taken action to make the E-Series excavators more affordable for their customers than their competitors’ products. Cummins Tier 4 Final technology contributes to keeping fuel efficiency high.

The 856H and 890H also feature a host of new and improved features and benefits for end users. For example, LiuGong adopted a radical changeover from an open hydraulic system to a closed hydraulic system. They also embraced a more intelligent cooling system that only activates on demand based on what the temperature sensors indicate. The combination of more efficient machine systems and Cummins Tier 4 Final technology allow the H-Series to have low fuel consumption – passing on savings to the customer.

Cummins Tier 4 Final solutions utilize ultra-clean aftertreatment systems customized to each engine platform to ensure that the engine and aftertreatment system combined achieve optimal power output while simultaneously increasing fuel efficiency. The QSB4.5, QSB6.7 and QSL9 achieve Tier 4 Final emissions regulations through the use of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, providing class-leading power output, power density and transient response. The QSG12 meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards with the combination of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) with SCR, allowing maximum torque and power output.

“Cummins is excited to be able to provide Tier 4 Final solutions for LiuGong’s new E-Series excavators and H-Series wheel loaders, and welcome the opportunity to support their network in North America,” said Eric Neal – Executive Director – Off-Highway Construction Business.

Gulf Coast Work Boat Receives YANMAR’s New EPA Compliant Commercial Engine

June 29, 2015
Yanmar Co., Ltd.

More than 60 years of worldwide experience plus an engine designed specifically for the United States market has made a winning combination for YANMAR’s new EPA compliant commercial engine application. Push boat Sherry L, owned by E Squared Marine Services, LLC from Texas and repowered by Laborde Products, now operates even more quietly and with better fuel consumption thanks to its new 6AYAM-ET engines. In fact, according to data collected from the ship’s operation, the new engines consume 24 gallons of fuel per hour when operating at 510 mhp, resulting in an average savings of 1 to 1.5 gallons per hour over the engines they replaced.

With a need for 24 hours of continuous operation each day pushing inland barges from Channelview to Galveston and on intercostal waterways, the Sherry L can’t afford to take a day off. Thanks to its new 755 mhp engines equipped with SmartAssist, it won’t have to. YANMAR’s unique SmartAssist technology allows the engines to be monitored remotely to ensure ideal operating conditions. And, when it’s time for maintenance, the system will send out a reminder, so that maintenance can be completed on the boat’s schedule to make sure it stays in operation the maximum amount of time possible.

The 61’ Sherry L is a twin screw steel Push Boat of 152 DWT built by A&B Industries of Morgan City. The installation of the 6AYAM-ET engines was an easy repower with a propulsion package that kept the existing set of Twin Disc marine gears MG5170DC ratio 5.03, as well as existing shafts and propellers. The monitoring system consists of a conventional harness with instrument panel, and an optional M200C system that converts conventional engine data into CAN bus protocol. The engines installed work with a dual circuit (HT-LT) cooling water system, and are equipped with factory installed air starters.

Tommy Echols, co-owner of E Squared, commented, “These engines perform better than expected, while also offering quieter operation than the engines they replaced and over any other engine I have ever installed in a tug. The fuel consumption is also exceeding expectations especially for the engine’s horsepower range.”

The 6AYAM-ET is YANMAR’s newest EPA regulated commercially rated engine. With an operating performance of 755 mhp at 1,900 rpm and 20.38 liters of displacement, this 6 in-line cylinder mechanical engine is expected to be a workhorse on the United States waterways for years to come. Key features of this engine include a 500-hour service interval, torque characteristics for stable cruising, purpose built marine design including mechanically controlled injection pumps and conventional injectors designed for easy inspection and an internal exhaust gas recirculation system that doesn’t require any external control devices.

E Squared, a company offering all types of marine transportation in the Gulf Coast, chose Laborde Products, YANMAR’s local distributor, and this particular YANMAR engine not only because it met the stringent EPA Tier III requirements and fit their size and horsepower requirements, but also due to previous good experience working with Laborde.

When asked if he would recommend these new engines to others, Echols replied, “Definitely; when these engines are available for mass distribution, I will highly recommend them to any company that needs the power these engines produce. They are a great addition to the commercial diesel market since there is no other manufacturer that has this 750-800 mhp rating.”

CUMMINS TO PROMOTE MARINE ENGINE OFFERING FOR FIRST TIME AT THE MONACO YACHT SHOW

27 September 2016 for PORT HERCULES, Monaco

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) – a leading manufacturer of diesel engines and generator sets for the marine industry – is pleased to return to the Monaco Yacht Show after a seven-year hiatus. This will be the first time the Company exhibits their full marine offering, including engines and generator sets, at the prestigious event.

Cummins Onan® marine generators have long had a strong reputation in the super yacht segment, and while Cummins large marine engines have enjoyed success in the commercial marine market, the engines are just recently being considered for larger recreational marine applications. Cummins large marine engines, from 19 liters to 60 liters, were designed to withstand the challenging conditions commercial operators often face. That same reliable, durable power – now up to 4,200 hp (3,132 kW) with the introduction of the QSK95 – is available for recreational boating applications.

With International Maritime Organization (IMO) Tier II-certified ratings from 3200 hp to 4200 hp (2386-3132 kW), the QSK95 provides 95 liters of displacement in a 78-liter package. Nested cylinders and a 60-degree V enable a short, narrow engine block relative to other engines of comparable displacement; in addition, the QSK95 weighs in just over 13,000 kg (28,660 lb).

As operators continue to seek better vessel maneuverability, the QSK95 delivers faster transient response through a unique turbo arrangement and a dry exhaust system. By using one turbo per four cylinders, the QSK95 is able to utilize a smaller turbocharger. The dry turbo housings and dry exhaust manifold maximize the available energy to the turbos, allowing them to spool up quickly, resulting in fast engine response.

Cummins design, validation and service teams devoted countless hours to ensuring that the QSK95 sets industry serviceability standards. From the early phases of engine design, qualified technicians participated in service tool and repair procedure validation, and design concepts were evaluated for progressive damage prevention. Initial feedback from technicians servicing QSK95 engines in the field has confirmed that the focus on serviceability will provide considerable payback over the life of the engines.

All Cummins recreational marine products are backed by a global support network with more than 600 distributor locations and 24/7 support from Cummins Care. Additionally, all marine products are covered by a standard comprehensive one-year warranty that is both transferable and valid at any Cummins-authorized marine outlet worldwide.

Customers will have the opportunity to learn more about the engine’s features and benefits with a 3D interactive display, as well as speak with product experts in Tent Darse Sud.
