Cummins Secures Key European Turbocharger Contracts

www.chinatrucks.com: Cummins Turbo Technologies has announced it has secured four supply contracts for its Holset turbochargers, which combined are worth in excess of US$700 million.

The deals, which are with some of Europe’s major truck manufacturers – all of whom can’t yet be revealed due to client confidentiality, will see Euro 6 emissions compliant turbocharging solutions enter service with several world-renowned brands by the end of the year. However, one of them is DAF, which was unveiled during the launch of the first DAF Euro 6 engines.

Advances in turbocharging technology continue to deliver fuel savings without compromising engine power, so at Cummins they are delighted but not surprised that Cummins Turbo Technologies has been selected as a solution provider by some of the biggest names in trucking ahead of the introduction of Euro 6 regulations next year.

Euro 6 legislation comes into force on 31 December 2013 and requires nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to be reduced by 66% over Euro 5 levels (from 2.0 to 0.46 grams/kWh) and soot particle emissions cut by half (from 0.03 to just 0.01 gram/kWh) – sufficiently low levels to be described as ‘near-zero’.
