As equipment manufacturers strive to develop
machines that are cleaner, more reliable and
more productive, Cummins will showcase its latest
engine range, the Performance Series, at ConExpo 2020.
Whilst it is expected that there will be a wide range of
power solutions on display at the event, ultra-clean
diesel continues to be the go-to power source for the
construction sector. Currently, only diesel power can
match the intense duty cycles of most construction
equipment, and with European Stage V solutions in full
production this means compliant machines can operate
effectively with ultra-low emissions, clean enough even
for the most stringent emissions standards.
High power density
Visitors to Cummins’ booth will see the B4.5, B6.7 and L9
Performance Series engines first-hand, as well as the
F3.8 Power Unit complete with aftertreatment and
cooling pack. The full Performance Series line up spans
from 3.8 to 15 litres (100 - 675hp / 75 - 503kW) and
delivers on average 10% more power and 20% more
torque across the 3.8 – 9 litre range. Not only does this
enable OEMs to produce equipment that delivers higher

power density and machine capability, Cummins
customers also benefit from the Performance Series’ less
complex design with no EGR, resulting in reduced
weight and size, and an easy-to-package single module
aftertreatment system. Suitable applications for the
construction and materials handling industry include
cranes, excavators and wheeled loaders.
Clean and efficient
Emission changes have driven engine and equipment
product development for the last 20 years, creating the
cleanest and most efficient power units there has ever
been. Given that the next step in emissions legislation is
distant and somewhat unknown, manufacturers will be
able to focus on tailoring engine operation to
equipment types and their specific duty cycles for
optimum productivity.
Changes are clearly happening in the industry and
the future of power has never looked so diverse.
Hybridisation, full-electrification and fuel cell drivelines
for construction applications are emerging as feasible
power solutions for the mobile machinery in the
construction sector.
Future worksite
Alongside clean diesel technology, Cummins will display
its vision of a future worksite at ConExpo, with
alternative fuel sources, electric technology and
connected solutions representing the future of energy
diversity and digitalisation. The differences in scale,
operating region and duty cycle of equipment means
not one size fits all.
Given the change in industry, technology and
competitive environment over the past 100 years,
Cummins understands what needs to be done to
continue to thrive in changing times.
Electrification, hybrid technology and the latest clean
diesel power all possess different attributes which suit
different types of machine. Whilst a shift towards
electrification in smaller equipment is anticipated,
particularly ones which operate in urban environments,
diesel will still have a significant role to play in the
energy sector for larger construction equipment for
many years to come. iVT
