What's the EPA27 Twin Module Aftertreatment? The EPA27 emissions rule requires significant reductions in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions for vehicles beginning with the 2027 engine model year. To meet these strict requirements, Cummins has developed the Twin Module aftertreatment system for the X10 heavy-duty and X15 engine. This system is designed to meet NOx emissions that are more than
What are the upcoming emission regulations in North America? The EPA27 emissions rule is a set of regulations established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to significantly lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. These regulations take effect with the 2027 engine models and require a reduction in NOx emissions by more than 75% compared to cu
Improving fuel economy in a heavy-duty diesel engine while lowering emissions is no small feat. For decades engineers have been aiming to achieve the combination knowing customer motivations to run cleaner for more miles per gallon.
