Why engine power matters For miners, the performance of ultra-class haul trucks is critical to overall productivity. These machines do the heavy lifting, moving hundreds of tons of material every hour, often in harsh environments and at high altitude. At the heart of this performance is the engine. While many operations rely on proven mid-range horsepower platforms to power vehicles, there c
The old notion that there is no replacement for displacement has met its match in a compelling new solution by Cummins in its Cummins HELM™ 10-liter platform. The Cummins X10 diesel engine is engineered to offer a smarter, more capable alternative to both the larger X12 and the slightly smaller L9 engines it will replace. Some longtime users of the X12 may take note of the downsizing,
Power outages and system downtime carry consequences in every industry, but the impact ranges widely depending on the setting.
