Cummins fuel-agnostic engine platform
Cummins Inc will show its new fuel-agnostic 15-litre engine platform with hydrogen, biogas and advanced diesel engines at ConExpo-Con/Agg (Stand S84615, south hall upper) in mid March. It offers OEMs the opportunity to accelerate the decarbonisation of heavy-duty off-highway applications.
This new platform, designed for the next level of emissions, has a significant increase in power density with a more compact installation envelope enabling OEMs to increase machine capability and productivity with no impact on running cost. The fuel-agnostic architecture of the 15-litre next generation engine utilises a common base engine with cylinder-heads and fuel systems specifically tailored for hydrogen, natural gas, diesel and biofuels including HVO.
The Cummins 15-litre hydrogen engine will be available with ratings from 400 to 530hp and a peak torque of 2,600Nm. For applications powered by renewable biogas, this engine will offer ratings from 400 to 510hp with a peak torque of 2,500Nm available. The advanced diesel version features will offer a broad power range of 450 to 650hp, with an impressive 3,200Nm peak torque.
