According to the terms of a supply agreement signed by Cummins and Hyundai Construction Equipment (HCE), the US engine manufacturer has become the single engine supplier for displacements ranging from 3.8 to 12 liters. In terms of engine models, the agreement covers the Performance Series range, then F3.8, B4.5, B6.7, L9 and X12, powering 25 construction installations.
Cummins’ Performance Series engines deliver on average 20 percent higher torque and 10 percent more power across the range, enabling higher machine capability. Moreover, the improved Single Module aftertreatment technology manages the PM and NOx emissions more effectively, enabling EGR to be removed from the engines and making them lighter, more compact and easier to install.
OUR INTERVIEW WITH STEVEN NENDICK, MARCOM MANAGER AT CUMMINS
The partnership between Cummins and Hyundai Construction Equipment
«Hyundai Construction Equipment has been a strategic off-highway partner to Cummins for 30 years, and we value our continuing business relationship», said Eric Neal, Executive Director Global Off-Highway Business at Cummins. «Our Performance Series products were designed as global platforms. The engines meet the latest US EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V ultra-low emissions levels and can be tailored to meet China CSIV and India BSIV regulations as well. This enables Hyundai to have simplified installations that drive economies of scale in their production and ease of servicing in the field», added Mr Neal.
The ‘Powered by Cummins’ program
Started in 1985, HCE manufactures construction equipment including hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders and other industrial equipment. Headquartered in Seongnam City, Korea, it has nine global operation centers in the United States, Europe, India, Indonesia, Brazil and China supported by 540 distributors in 150 countries.
«We know Hyundai has ambitions to grow in North America and see their partnership with Cummins as a key enabler toward this. Their ‘Powered by Cummins’ program for wheel loaders and excavators pairs Performance Series power with the latest telematics to deliver true operational efficiency and value to their customers», added Eric Neal.
