Tier 4 for Cummins

Cummins has announced that its A Series engines have been
certified to EPA Tier 4 Interim emissions regulations, scheduled to take effect in January 2008.

The company believes this is to be the first production engine certified to meet the Tier 4 requirements, and offers lower emissions than the current European Stage 3A limits applicable to this engine output.

This latest technology is based on the identical industrial engine platform range launched for Tier 2 in 2002, and claims the company, is a major achievement considering Tier 4 Interim represents a 50 percent reduction in emissions of particulates versus Tier 2.

Cummins A Series Tier 4 Interim engines range from 23-35kW (31-47hp), with a configuration that ensures equipment manufacturers have long-term platform stability in the face
of regulation changes for more than 10 years. The engine’s platform commonality and simplicity extends beyond 35kW (47hp) with the Tier 3/Stage 3A A2300 which is available up to 42kW (56hp).

The 3 cylinder A1700 and 4 cylinder A2000 and A2300 engines are ideal for compact construction equipment from 23-42kW (31-56hp) including aerial platforms.
