Cummins ISBe continues to build on its reputation for dependability. Operators of rigid trucks, buses and speciality vehicles are benefiting from exceptional performance and low running costs, with the reliability and durability expected from Cummins. Key environmental benefits include low noise and low emissions capability up to Euro 5 and EEV.

Based on the experience of over 4 million B Series in use around the world and over 80,000 ISBes sold across Europe, this engine family continues to improve with each generation.  Key design enhancements are incorporated in the latest ISBe engines to provide higher power to weight ratios and improved vehicle productivity. These improvements form the basis of Cummins strategy to provide evolutionary product updates which continue to move the company significantly ahead of the competition.

The ISBe is unique to Cummins, with no other manufacturer able to offer the same design benefits. It provides equipment manufacturers with an extremely cost effective power plant, backed by the renowned dependability of the Cummins B engine platform.

ISBe engines have been developed to meet stringent emissions regulations around the world, and offer the same product enhancements where ever they operate. Whether your requirement is for an engine to meet Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4 or Euro 5 or EEV emissions, whether you are operating in Europe, Turkey, Russia, China, Brazil or India, there is an ISBe for you. And it comes packed with all the latest design features.

Performance

Cummins ISBe continues to build on its reputation for dependability.  Operators of rigid trucks, buses and speciality vehicles are benefiting from exceptional performance and low running costs, with the reliability and durability expected from Cummins.

Torque and power are high for an engine of this size, allowing them to be used in application classes traditionally associated with engines of higher displacement. Weight sensitive installations such as multi-axle rigid trucks and size constrained installations such as full size and double deck buses are easily in the reach of the ISBe’s capabilities.

All this extra performance has been delivered with a new level of refinement. In fact, the ISBe is quieter and smoother than ever thought possible for a diesel of this size, with noise reduced by up to 9 dBA.  The class leading ISBe 6-cylinder engine is now available up to 300ps for city bus applications.  It is capable of meeting the tough operating conditions without any impact on reliablility or durability.

ISBe Features
  • High Power – the 4 cylinder engine is available up to 210ps and the 6 cylinder engine up to 300ps, giving it the highest power to weight ratio in its class.
  • High Torque – the 4 cylinder engine has up to 760Nm and the 6 cylinder engine has up to 1100Nm available for excellent responsiveness.
  • Engine unique to Cummins – displacement of 4.5 and 6.7 litres to give higher power and torque for installations from Euro 2 to Euro 5 and EEV.
  • Electronic Integration – industry standard datalink accepts inputs from all powertrain components including electronic transmissions, ABS brakes and ASR anti-slip. Creates a seamless flow of information shared along a high speed network.
  • Electronic Protection – sensors throughout the engine continually send data back to the ECM for self diagnosis and protection. Rapid diagnostics and data downloading are available, helping to ensure maximum uptime for vehicles.
  • Electronic Control Module (ECM) – has a higher processing capacity than the previous model. It maintains an optimum balance between load demands, fuel-efficiency and emissions control. It is designed to be isolated from detrimental thermal and vibration loading for extreme reliability and durability.
  • High Pressure Common Rail system – works at higher pressure and provides more precise control of the combustion process. Capable of generating up to 1800 bar injection pressures for refined and rapid power delivery, reduced noise, and improved cold start.
  • Wastegated Turbocharger – developed by Cummins Turbo Technologies to provide excellent performance across the rpm range as well as improved response through higher low-end torque. Latest Engine Filtration – class leading oil and fuel filtration systems developed by Cummins Filtration for exceptional engine protection.
  • Rear Engine Power Take-Off (REPTO) with a drive capability of 400Nm is available. It is suitable for applications such as cement mixers.
  • Emissions technology – meets Euro 4 and Euro 5 requirements using Selective Catalytic Reduction (S.C.R.) exhaust aftertreatment technology developed by Cummins Emission Solutions. This integrated system provides significant reductions in fuel consumption and extended service intervals.
  • Global Design – the engines are available in specifications that meet Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4 and Euro 5 emissions.
  • Global Support – backed by the widest network in the industry, with over 5,000 service outlets worldwide. Contact your local customer assistance centre for technical support.
Maintenance.
  • Overall running costs for the ISBe are lowest in class with exceptional fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance
  • Optimised engine and aftertreatment provides substantial benefits in fuel economy and service intervals at Euro IV and Euro V
