Cummins A Series engines give equipment manufacturers a big advantage. Every one of the A Series engine ratings is compliant with Tier 4 Interim, which means no change to the engine through 2012. We also meet Stage IIIA regulations through 2017.

Cummins has been able to meet these standards by using Cummins in-cylinder technology, a technology that provides the highest reliability and performance possible.

Maintenance has been kept to an absolute minimum to lower operating costs.

Specifying the right combination of standard features and options for your equipment is easy. Cummins Advisor provides expert assistance with installations.

Every A Series engine is covered by Cummins three-step warranty, one of the most comprehensive and simplest plans in the industry.

Cummins provides a complete package of services and software to help OEM engineers integrate and optimize A Series engines to their equipment. These include our own staff of application engineers, Advisor software and web-based tools that provide timely assistance to manufacturers everywhere around the globe. This suite of products and services gives more engineering uptime, allowing the OEM staff to spend more time on their equipment and less on the engine. The Cummins advantage starts with Cummins Advisor, a software tool that puts a virtual engineer on the OEM team. This program gives OEM customers the ability to model every installation for virtually every piece of equipment. After taking into account operating conditions, load factor and duty cycle, Advisor guides the user to the best engine and rating match for the equipment. Advisor then builds a virtual model of the intake, exhaust, cooling, fuel and mounting systems to ensure compatibility with other subsystems. If there is a potential issue, Advisor lists alternate options calculated to achieve the performance goals you and your customers expect. This analysis-led approach validates your engine design before you even build a prototype, saving you time and money in the preproduction phase. Most important, it results in equipment that is fully capable of meeting customer expectations - every time.

 

When you install a Cummins A Series engine in your equipment, your customers benefit from the most comprehensive customer support in the world.
