Cummins – global
power leader
C
UMMINS SOUTH PACIFIC is a
wholly owned subsidiary
of Cummins Inc. A global
power leader, Cummins
Inc. is a corporation of
complementary business units that
design, manufacture, distribute and
service diesel and natural gas engines
and related technologies, including fuel
systems, controls, air handling, filtration,
emission solutions and electrical power
generation systems.
Cummins is the world’s largest
independent designer and manufacturer
of diesel engines, it’s stated.
Headquartered in Columbus, Indiana,USA,
the company employs about 48,000
people worldwide and serves customers
in 190 countries through its network of
more than 600 company-owned and
independent distributor facilities and
around 6,500 dealer locations.
Cummins earned US$1.48 billion on
sales of $17.3 billion in 2013.
ISBE
Derived from the legendary B-series
Cummins engines of which there are
millions in service around the world, the
ISBe5 delivers best-in-class performance,
fuel economy and reliability for light- and
medium-duty truck applications.
The ISBe5 meets Euro 5 emissions
standards utilising SCR (selective catalytic
reduction) technology. SCR is a fully
integrated exhaust after-treatment
system developed by Cummins Emissions
Solutions. The fuel-injection system on
the ISBe5 is high-pressure common rail
with electronic injectors for rapid power
delivery, low emissions and low noise.
Full-authority electronic control provides
standard Cummins features such as
diagnostics, data downloading, PTO
control, maintenance monitoring and
engine protection.
ISLE
The ISLe5 is Cummins’ latest-generation
8.9-litre mid-range engine, with SCR
technology utilised for emissions
reduction and performance
improvements. Complying with Euro 5
and ADR80/03 emissions regulations, the
ISLe5 features best-in-class power density
and fuel economy, and is offered with
ratings up to 400hp and peak torque of
1255lb-ft. The ISLe5 can be electronically
uprated from 280 to 400hp without
hardware changes.
A compression engine brake is
offered on the ISLe5, providing up to
250 braking horsepower. Full-authority
electronic control of the ISLe5 provides
the standard list of Cummins features
including diagnostics, data downloading,
PTO control, maintenance monitoring
and engine protection.
The ISLe5’s SCR system is a fully
integrated in-house design, developed
by Cummins Emissions Solutions. SCR
technology doesn’t change the design or
operation of the basic engine. Rather, it is
an exhaust after-treatment system
where urea is dosed into the exhaust
stream to reduce NOx emissions. This
means engine combustion can be
optimised for improved fuel economy
and reduced heat rejection while
allowing higher ratings.
ISME
The ISMe5 utilises SCR exhaust
after-treatment for emissions reduction
and is both Euro 5 and ADR80-03
compliant.
Available with ratings up to 440hp
and 1535lb-ft of torque, the ISMe5
provides class-leading power density and
fuel economy along with well-proven
reliability and durability. The engine can
be electronically uprated from 385 to
440hp without any hardware changes.
A compression engine brake is standard
on the ISMe5, providing 325 braking
horsepower and governed engine speed.
The 11-litre engine is ideally suited to
applications where low tare weight is
important. Full-authority electronic control
provides standard Cummins features such
as diagnostics, data downloading, PTO
control, maintenance monitoring and
engine protection. The ISMe5’s SCR system
is a fully integrated in-house design, same
as the ISLe5.
