The new X15 advanced diesel engine is
Cummins’ most efficient yet, designed for the Cummins’ fully
integrated powertrain featuring Eaton Cummins Automated
Transmission Technologies and Cummins-Meritor
Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced it will launch its
most efficient heavy-duty diesel engine ever. As the next product
in the Cummins HELM™ 15-liter fuel agnostic platform, the diesel
X15 will be compliant with U.S. EPA and CARB 2027 aligned
regulations at launch. The next generation X15 diesel engine in
North America will serve the heavy-duty on-highway market.
“We have applied our decades of experience with the X15 to our
next-generation product and believe these investments will serve
our customers well into the future. The next generation X15 is the
next evolution of technology, truly proving to the world that we
never stop innovating,” said José Samperio, Vice President, North
America On-Highway at Cummins. “We are working hard to ensure the
new product delivers our brand promise to customers for the
important jobs they need to do every day.”
Maintaining the traditional reliability and lower operating
costs that have met the needs of a diverse customer base since the
inaugural X15 launch in 1998, the next generation, advanced diesel
X15 will feature improved greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency
benefits while retaining the same ratings of the current X15 (up to
605 horsepower and 2,050 ft-lb of torque) and optimizing powertrain
integration with Eaton Cummins and Cummins-Meritor.
“Today, we re-introduce our fuel agnostic engine platforms with
a name that captures the innovation that powers us forward: the
Cummins HELM™ platforms,” said Jane Beaman, Vice President Global,
On-Highway Business, Cummins. “With higher efficiency, lower
emissions, and multiple fuels, the Cummins HELM™ platforms give our
customers control of how they navigate their own journeys as part
of the energy transition. They can choose the fuel types that work
best for them, their businesses, and their goals,” she said.
Cummins is committed to innovation and providing quality
solutions to customers, like internal combustion engines and
alternative technologies. This next-generation engine is designed
to have the capability to meet future emissions regulations beyond
2027 without the need for significant architecture changes. This
investment will help the company maintain technology leadership for
the next decade as it continues to fund future research and
development in hydrogen and alternative fuel engines, battery
electric and fuel cell powertrains.
“This new architecture expands on the legacy of the X15 engine.
All teams involved recognize how important this product is and what
it means for both Cummins and our customers’ future as the base
architecture will carry us through the horizon of diesel technology
and alternate fuels,” said Jonathon White, Vice President, Engine
Business Engineering, Cummins.
From its inception, the next generation X15 was developed with
Cummins’ fully integrated powertrain in mind. The X15 architecture
utilizes a belt-driven, high output 48-volt alternator and
aftertreatment heater solution, optimized for increasingly
stringent emission standards.
Customers taking advantage of EX ratings (requires Eaton Cummins
Endurant and GPS look-ahead data) with Cummins Meritor axles,
brakes and drivelines will experience additional optimized fuel
efficiency and drivability through features such as predictive gear
shifting, on-ramp boost, and hill roll out.

X15 Multimedia Kit
Eaton Cummins Endurant
The Endurant HD and XD series are optimized for the next
generation X15 powertrain to work seamlessly, improving efficiency
and performance while maintaining drive comfort. All with a
best-in-class transmission lube change intervals up to 750,000
miles as well as remote diagnostic capabilities.
Cummins-Meritor Drivetrain Systems
The Cummins-Meritor 14X™ HE tandem drive axles are designed for
maximum performance, durability and fuel economy. They are equipped
with a proprietary, advanced Meritor lube management system (MLMS)
and feature super-fast ratio options, fuel-efficient bearings and
high-efficiency spiral bevel gearing. Cummins-Meritor Permalube™
RPL drivelines are designed for reduced maintenance and have the
ability to handle the high torque demands of today’s downsped
engine platforms.
About the Cummins HELM™ platforms
The engine is built on Cummins’ HELM™ fuel agnostic 15-liter
engine platform. These new fuel agnostic engine platforms feature a
series of engine versions that are derived from a common base
engine, which means they have some parts commonality. Below the
head gasket of each engine will largely have similar components and
above the head gasket will have different components for different
fuel types. Each engine version will operate using a different,
single fuel. The X15N, the natural gas variant, is the first engine
on the Cummins HELM™ platforms available to customers. The Cummins
HELM™ platforms include the B, X10, and X15 engine platforms.
Low Carbon Diesel Fuels
Aligned with Cummins diesel engine portfolio, the new X15 is
capable of using biodiesel blends up to 20% and renewable diesel
blends up to 100%. Cummins was an early adopter of renewable fuels
and continues to advance use of higher biodiesel blends and
renewable diesel. These low carbon diesel fuels have been proven to
reduce carbon intensity of diesel fuel consumption and are readily
available in today’s fueling infrastructure.
Cummins Digital Capability
Cummins' commitment to internal combustion engine innovation is
complemented by its commitment to offering digital products and
services that enhance the entire life of every Cummins engine. This
includes securely connecting real-time data from vehicles on the
road to maintenance and service operations, giving customers an
unparalleled ability to look ahead, streamline operations and
minimize downtime.
Cummins customers can expect a digitally enriched experience
over the life of their vehicles, including newly released features
that connect in-mission operations directly to maintenance and
repair processes for more seamless end-to-end fleet management.
The new X15 is equipped with Acumen®, which provides digital
connectivity and direct, immediate access to a range of
applications and capabilities. These capabilities provide value
throughout the lifecycle of the engine and include over-the-air
calibration, predictive service recommendations and additional
features that help fleets keep their trucks and equipment on the
road.
