Cummins ISF Engine
When it comes to heavy duty diesel engines no one does it better
than Cummins. The ISF is the latest addition to Cummins' extensive
range of dependable engines. Based on Cummins' experience with
over 4 million engines in use in on-highway applications around the
world, the ISF family has been developed with high performance
and low weight, specifically for light commercial applications. The
engine has been designed to comply with the tough ADR 80/02
emission standards and its modualr design enables the move to the
even tougher requirements of ADR80/03 with minimal impact on
the installation. The new four cylinder, 2.8L common rail
turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine achieves emission compliance
using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
Why SCR
SCR technology is the most cost-effective
method t oreduce NOx emissions and reduce
our environmental impact. SCR is proven
technology with over 600,000 trucks operating
in Europe on SCR. It is the only technology
that optimizes fuel efficiency while allowing
the engine to run cleaner. SCR works by
injecting a very precise amount of an automotive
grade urea/water solution (called Diesel
Exhaust fluid or DEF- it is also known by the
trade name AdBlue) into the vehicle's hot
exhaust stream. SCR has become the global
standard for meeting the most stringent diesel
engine emission requirements. DEF usage will
be around 2-3% of diesel usage for most
operators. A typical Aumark 4.5T vehicle will
use about 3-4L of SCR fluid per week.
