COLUMBUS, Ind. -- (Business Wire)
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today that the Cummins X12 engine is
now available in the Freightliner 114SD chassis.
“Cummins is excited about the positive impact our X12 will have in
weight-sensitive markets,” said Brett Merritt, Vice President − Cummins
On-Highway Engine Business. “We believe that the Cummins X12 in
Freightliner’s 114SD truck will be an exceptional option for vocational
customers.”
The X12 is the lightest engine in Class 8 trucks and at only 2,050
pounds, has the highest power-to-weight ratio of any engine in its
class. This lighter weight engine enables greater payload while
improving productivity and uptime. The engine is capable of up to 500
horsepower and 1700 pounds-feet of torque, and is optimized for the
Freightliner 114SD chassis for vocational applications like concrete
mixers and dump trucks.
“We are dedicated to providing vocational customers with a wide range of
powertrain options to meet the specific needs of their businesses,” said
Kelly Gedert, Director of Product Marketing for Freightliner Trucks and
Detroit Components. “By adding the Cummins X12 to our engine portfolio,
we give the already versatile 114SD yet another option, showing our
commitment to providing customers a choice.”
Freightliner trucks are designed for productivity and offer drivers
enhanced ergonomics, improved visibility and a comfortable platform for
a variety of job applications. With the lightweight Cummins X12, fleets
can carry more on each trip without compromising performance or
reliability, and drivers will love the way the engine makes the truck
feel.
More payload isn’t all customers can expect from the Cummins X12 powered
Freightliner 114SD truck. The low-friction design of the X12 offers
improved fuel economy with extended maintenance intervals similar to the
Cummins X15 engine, as well as high mileage, real-world experience to
ensure maximum uptime.
The X12 is now available to order at Freightliner.
