Cedric Merveillaud, Cummins Director of Marine Sales Europe explains, “Cummins’ X15 Stage V solution is an integrated engine and aftertreatment package designed and developed in-house. This delivers the optimum balance of performance and efficiency adhering to the latest emissions standards.”

In addition to the ease of install, Cummins’ X15 Stage V offering provides significant cost savings for operators thanks to the pre-engineered solution. Customers will benefit from the completely integrated package that is covered by Cummins warranty and supported by a robust dealer network in Europe.

Cummins X15 engine is proven in a range of industrial applications with high power density. Its strong transient response across the rev range is enabled by the Holset VGT™ turbocharger. Cummins XPI fuel system delivers a precise quantity of fuel at ultra-high pressures. With robust electronic engine controls, it enables flexibility in injection timing to maximise fuel economy and performance while minimising exhaust emissions.

Stage V is the most stringent emissions regulation in Europe. Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions are set at the extremely low level of 0.4 g/kW-hr, requiring the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment. Particulate Matter (PM) emissions are limited to just 0.015 g/kW-hr, and with the addition of a new particulate number (PN) count it effectively 99.9 percent of all PM is eliminated. A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is required to achieve this near-zero level. Cummins’ exhaust aftertreatment system includes DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst), DPF and SCR technology in a two-piece unit, designed to fit easily into the engine compartment, with good service access.

“Cummins Stage V engine technology paired with our expertise in the inland waterway market enables us to provide a solution that meets the needs of operators with a reliable, dependable product that complies with the latest low emission standard,” added Cedric Merveillaud.
