Cummins has launched a new 15-litre engine for the off highway market.
Making its debut at Intermat in Paris, the next Generation X15 diesel engine maintains reliability and reduces operating costs, while reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency.
As well, the engine is part of the Cummins HELM platform and allows customers to select the fuel type that best suits their business needs. The next gen X15 is offered with a common base engine design with cylinder heads and fuel systems specifically tailored for a single fuel, including diesel, natural gas or hydrogen.
“We are excited to present the Next Gen X15 at Intermat. It is a state-of-the-art clean sheet engine designed with more capability and less environmental impact,” said Beau Lintereur, Executive Director, Off Highway at Cummins.
“The Cummins X15 offers fantastic power density for high duty cycle applications, meaning it can displace larger comparative engines, reducing operating costs and overall emissions from equipment in-field.”
The Stage V engine is rated at 700 hp with a peak torque of 2,360 foot-pounds.
Furthermore, the X15 is optimized with fuel consumption as low as 180 g/kWh, reducing total cost of ownership and lifetime emissions. It has extended maintenance intervals up to 1,000 hours, reducing service costs and downtime.
Alongside the X15, Cummins exhibited the new B6.7H engine, a hydrogen platform aimed at a wide range of off-highway applications, with a top rating of 290 hp and a peak torque of 1,200 Nm.
The hydrogen combustion engine is designed to use the same transmission, cooling systems and hydraulic systems as today’s diesel engines, reducing complexity for equipment manufacturers and customers interested in switching to a hydrogen fuel power solution.
Accelera by Cummins also showcased its 150kW fuel cell engine. This engine is as an ideal solution for mobile construction applications with heavy-duty cycles or clean portable power generation requirements.
Accelera is distinguished in the industry by its wide-selection of zero-emissions offerings, offering choices for customers transitioning to clean power solutions. Among its offerings is the lithium-ion next-generation BP97E battery.
Also, NPROXX Hydrogen was on display at Cummins’ Intermat booth. Cummins and NPROXX formed a joint venture in 2020. NPROXX develops high pressure hydrogen storage for both stationary and mobile applications
