  • Cummins Launches New Smart Connected Engine for Freightliner Cascadia
    December 2, 2020 Cummins Launches New Smart Connected Engine for Freightliner Cascadia COLUMBUS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global power leader Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced the release of Cummins’ first connectivity-enabled X15 Efficiency series engine and new Endurant™ HD powertrain for Freightliner Trucks. Available in the Cascadia line, Freightliner customers can take advantage of Cummins’ advanced engine computing module known as Acumen®, which comes factory installed and connects to Cummins’ technology platform for direct access to digital apps, over the air product enhancements, and future service integrations. “We’re investing heavily in our technology and we are thrilled to launch our most advanced and connected engine with Freightliner,” said Rob Neitzke, Cummins Engine Business OEM Leader. “The X15 Efficiency series with Acumen® allows us to better support Cummins customers over the life of their vehicle. The X15 with Acumen enables us to get ahead of future maintenance and service needs, as well as provide faster access to our Connected Solutions® and other digital features as they become available.” Promising to deliver superior ratings in Cummins’ X15 Efficiency series for Cascadia, the new smart powertrains with Acumen® and Endurant™ HD allow improved fuel economy and drivability through industry-exclusive EX powertrain ratings, now available for Freightliner customers. Features such as On-Ramp Boost ‒ which uses GPS to sense when a truck is entering an on ramp, then temporarily trades fuel economy for maximum torque to reduce the time needed to get to merging speeds ‒ apply predictive services and geographic data for increased fuel economy, reduced trip times, and intuitive performance characteristics while keeping driver comfort and safety top of mind.

This model year (MY96), heavy-duty engine manufacturers are offering a number of natural gas models with additional models nearing production. Electric vehicle manufacturers have several products available with new models nearing completion. Although Caterpillar is the only manufacturer offering propane as a fuel option, Detroit Diesel Corp. (DDC) will be demonstrating a prototype model in 1996, and Cummins will release a model within MY96. Many manufacturers are offering natural gas engines in response to California Air Resource Board’s strict bus emission standards which are effective MY96.
