Product overview

Engineered to support the 2027 X10 and the 2027 X15 diesel engines, the twin module aftertreatment is designed for a wide range of vehicle chassis configurations with minimized integration complexity. Its compact, dual-canister design maximizes packaging flexibility, with optimal space claim for the system. Powered by a 48-volt belt-driven alternator, the Twin Module enables Cummins Emission Solutions (CES’s) proprietary electric heating technology, providing precise thermal management and faster light-off for improved emissions control during cold-start and low-load conditions.

Benefits of the electric heating system

Cummins’ electric heating system delivers exceptional value to customers as emissions regulations evolve. It ensures consistent and reliable temperature control across all operating conditions to maintain optimal aftertreatment temperatures. By supplementing engine heat with electric energy, the system reduces reliance on diesel fuel for thermal management.
 

  • Emissions compliance
    • Accelerates aftertreatment warm-up at startup, without additional DEF dosing
    • Enhances NOx conversion during low-load, low-temperature operation—common in real-world duty cycles
  • Maximized engine efficiency
    • Supports on-demand thermal management by enabling precise application of electric heat when and where needed
    • Allows for engine performance optimization without compromising aftertreatment temperature control
  • Uptime
    • Engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of commercial vehicle applications
    • Designed for easy access and serviceability to reduce maintenance downtime
    • Builds on the reliable Single Module architecture of DOC-DPF-SCR catalyst with single DEF dosing
  • Simplified vehicle integration
    • Enables a more compact system by replacing required additional catalyst volume with electric heat
    • Eliminates the need for a hydrocarbon doser and associated hardware needed with a dual DEF dosing architecture
    • Scalable design delivers increased heating capacity (kW) without expanding system packaging requirements
