Products on display
2027 X15 is Cummins' most efficient heavy-duty diesel engine to date. Built on more than 25 years of X15 platform heritage, the 2027 X15 maintains the familiar architecture and proven components fleets rely on, while incorporating refinements that can contribute to improved fuel efficiency compared with the 2024 X15 and maintaining similar diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) consumption.
Engineered to support the 2027 X10 and the 2027 X15 diesel engines, the twin module aftertreatment is designed for a wide range of vehicle chassis configurations with minimized integration complexity. Its compact, dual-canister design maximizes packaging flexibility, with optimal space claim for the system. Powered by a 48-volt belt-driven alternator, the Twin Module enables Cummins Emission Solutions (CES’s) proprietary electric heating technology, providing precise thermal management and faster light-off for improved emissions control during cold-start and low-load conditions.
The Endurant HD is a lightweight, highly efficient transmission designed for superb drive-ability in on-highway applications. Sophisticated software allows the engine and transmission to work seamlessly, improving efficiency and performance. Smart features like a transmission fluid pressure sensor help protect the transmission from damage. In addition, the cooler-less design reduces the risk of cooler leaks and costly repairs. Predictive shifting uses look-ahead technology to execute shift decisions that improve fuel economy and driver comfort. Engineered with a twin-countershaft design for the most efficient delivery of engine torque, it’s capable of hauling up to 110,000 pounds (49,895 kg) Gross Vehicle Weight.
The Cummins X15N is the industry’s first 15-liter natural gas engine purpose-built for heavy-duty and long-haul applications. Built to integrate seamlessly into existing, demanding operations, the X15N delivers power and performance while providing a practical path to reduced fuel costs and emissions. The X15N runs on natural gas and renewable natural gas (RNG), helping you move confidently toward a lower-carbon future—without reinventing how you work today.
The 2018 L9N continues the evolution of emissions-leading natural gas engines from Cummins. Certified to the California Air Resources Board and Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Optional Low NOx emissions standard of 0.02 g/bhp-hr, it has 90% fewer NOx emissions than the current North American EPA standard. Offering 320 hp / 1,000 lb-ft torque, with improved performance and reliability, the near-zero emissions L9N is a great fit for transit, refuse, and truck applications.
