Cummins announces GHG17 engine certification

Cummins announced it has received GHG17 certification and will offer engines in 2017 that will be 2.5-7.5% more fuel-efficient than the 2013 ISX15.

The companyโ€™s entire diesel and natural gas engine line has been approved by the EPA and meets Phase 2 fuel economy/greenhouse gas emissions standards created jointly by the EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and set to go into effect in January 2017.

โ€œCummins is committed to providing customer-focused innovation as soon as it is ready,โ€ said Amy Boerger, vice-president, sales and support. โ€œFor 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 with ADEPT (SmartCoast) features.โ€

Cummins says it implemented efficiency improvements throughout 2014 and 2015 to set it up for compliance with GHG17 standards. More enhancements are coming this year, the company says.
