Cummins Reveals Next Generation Engines
Engine manufacturer Cummins announced the next generation of its L9 and B6.7 engines during the Work Truck Show 2020. The next generation of these engines, available in 2021, was developed with emission regulation compliance in mind.
“Work on the 21 B6.7 and L9 engines began with the goal of meeting the EPA '21 GHG Phase II Emissions Requirements,” said Rob Neitzke, executive director - North America OEM business, Cummins.
The next generation of these engines are designed to deliver enhancements and features aimed to lower the total cost of operation. For example, both engines will have extended maintenance intervals, including extended oil drain intervals, extended fuel filtration intervals, and a new maintenance-free crankcase ventilation filter that requires no maintenance at all, according to Neitzke. Oil drain intervals on the B6.7 are up to 30,000 miles, or 1,000 operating hours; oil drain intervals for the L9 are 50,000 miles, or 1,500 operating hours. Fuel filter intervals on the L9 are up to three times longer than current models, and four times longer for the B6.7 compared to the current models.
