Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) showcases its emissions leadership at the World Ag Expo through Feb. 16 by highlighting proven U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 Final engine and aftertreatment technologies – but that’s not all. For the first time in the North American agriculture market, Cummins debuts the next generation of ultra-clean engines, which will be available beginning in 2019. Designed to meet European Union (EU) Stage V emissions regulations, they offer distinct advantages to North American manufacturers.
Visitors to the Cummins booth (M6/M8) will see multiple Tier 4 Final power solutions. As many customers in the agriculture business undergo the transition to Tier 4 Final, Cummins is dedicated to being a stronger partner than ever, through unrivaled engineering support from start to finish. Cummins views itself as a true business partner to each of its customers, and is dedicated to providing value through customized products and expert system integration, followed up with 24/7/265 support through 1-800-CUMMINS™ (1-800-286-6467).
Visitors to the Cummins booth will also get the chance to see a next-generation B4.5™ engine. The 4-cylinder engine achieves a remarkable increase in power and torque, enabling significant opportunities for OEMs to downsize engine package size, and reduce costs.
“Although the Stage V regulations do not affect North America, our Stage V engines will be certified for Tier 4 Final so that we can offer the significant product and technology enhancements to agriculture equipment manufacturers from 2019 on,” said Jim Branner, OEM Account Manager – Cummins Off-Highway Business. “This next generation of products will appeal to every OEM looking for significantly improved performance with lower installation costs for Tier 4 Final. They will be able to benefit from lower running costs, lower weight and easier installation.”
Also in the booth will be Cummins latest aftertreatment system for Stage V – the Single Module™.  With leading combustion and air-handlingtechnology the Single Moduleallows the 2019 engines to be Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)-free. The system combines a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and urea-dosing technologies in one unit, providing up to 50 percent reduction in envelope size and 30 percent reduction in weight compared with earlier products.
The “fit-and-forget” system is capable of removing emissions almost entirely by
passive regeneration, with no impact on equipment operation, and requiring no operator interface or intervention.
“With those substantial performance gains, our new generation of Tier 4 Final/Stage V engines will deliver more from a smaller, lighter package,” Branner said. “Customers will see over 10 percent more power and almost 20 percent more torque than the engines’ predecessors while using less fuel.”
