Cummins 2013 ISX12 and ISL9 on-highway diesel engines provide up to 2 percent better fuel economy than the 2012 model year engines by using XPI fuel system, VGT(TM) turbocharger, Cummins aftertreatment system with diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology driven by a single engine control module (ECM).
The Cummins ISX12 is rated from 310 horsepower to 425 horsepower and has more than 800 pound-feet of clutch engagement torque, SmartTorque ratings that deliver an additional 200 pound-feet of torque in the top two gears, vocational ratings that provide additional torque in the lower gears and options such as front- and rear-mounted power take-off (FEPTO and REPTO).
The Cummins ISL9 is rated from 260 horsepower to 380 horsepower and features replaceable wet liners, roller followers, by-pass oil filtration and targeted piston cooling.
