“The certification of the ISX15 demonstrates Cummins commitment to deliver products that exceed both environmental and customer requirements. We are confident that we’ll receive certification for our other on-highway engines well before the end of the year,” says Jeff Jones, Cummins’ vice president – sales and market communications.
Cummins says it entire lineup of on-highway engines for truck, bus, RV and specialty-vehicle markets will enter production on Jan. 2, 2013. All engines are expected to be certified a full year early to the 2014 greenhouse gas and fuel-efficiency rules.
The EPA 2013 regulations require the same near-zero emission levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter as were required beginning in 2010. Cummins says the new greenhouse gas and fuel-efficiency regulations will be required for all heavy-duty diesel and natural gas engines beginning in January 2014.
