José Samperio, Vice President, North America On-Highway at Cummins said: “We have applied our decades of experience with the X15 to our next-generation product and believe these investments will serve our customers well into the future.”
Maintaining the traditional reliability and lower operating costs that have met the needs of a diverse customer base since the inaugural X15 launch in 1998, Cummins says the next generation, advanced diesel X15 will feature improved greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency benefits while retaining the same ratings of the current X15 (up to 605 horsepower and 2,050 ft-lb of torque) and optimising powertrain integration with Eaton Cummins and Cummins-Meritor.
Jane Beaman, Vice President Global, On-Highway Business, Cummins: “Today, we re-introduce our fuel agnostic engine platforms with a name that captures the innovation that powers us forward: the Cummins HELM™ platforms.”
