Engine manufacturer Cummins has upgraded its Stage V B6.7 engine with stop-start capability, which means the model now uses 10% less fuel than its previous versions.
Jeremy Harsin, Cummins Off-Highway Business Director said, Harsin said, “Many machines sit idling on construction sites for long periods in between tasks. Stop-start capability is included in the B6.7 to further cut fuel consumption as well as overall maintenance costs. Fuel savings should be between 5% and 10% but could be higher based on the machine duty cycle.”
He further said that this feature also delivers the sociability benefits that contractors are looking for by reducing on-site noise and exhaust emissions. Also, improving fuel efficiency reduces CO2 greenhouse gas emissions.
