Cummins IS Clean Diesel Technology

"WASHINGTON--May 8, 2006--Cummins Inc. today once again demonstrated its commitment to clean diesel technology by joining other leading engine-makers, industry groups and the EPA at an event designed to display the industry's readiness to meet the 2007 U.S. EPA on-highway emissions regulations."

"Ed Pence, Vice President and General Manager - Heavy Duty Engine Business - represented Cummins at today's event sponsored by the Diesel Technology Forum, which also featured remarks by EPA Administrator Steven Johnson and a "white handkerchief test" to demonstrate the clean-running 2007 engines. Pence spoke of the success of Cummins cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology and reaffirmed that the Company's 2007 engines will be fully compliant with the new EPA regulations, which go into effect Jan. 1, 2007."

"We're confident that our cooled-EGR technology - combined with effective exhaust after treatment and the introduction of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel - offers the best solution for our on-highway customers, and we're on schedule to deliver as promised just as we did in 2002."

I like a bit of smoke with my dually but think of all the car apps out there . I have the pleasure of also having a Mercedes diesel and I sure don't want any smoke out of that ................ well maybe a bit but " the boss " would castrate me if I started "bombing" her ride !!!! Nothing will replace the Cummins in my book in a truck but Mercedes builds a very nice quiet diesel that hauls booty !!!
