As the commercial vehicle industry moves toward more efficient, reliable, and flexible systems, Cummins is advancing fuel system design with the fuel-lubricated pump (FLP). This compact and modular solution is built for both on-highway and off-highway applications, reducing system complexity while maintaining high performance across a wide range of engine platforms and fuel types. What is a fue
Axle performance plays a vital role in improving fuel economy, enhancing durability, and lowering emissions on any commercial vehicle. At Cummins, we strive to develop reliable and efficient technologies that reduce complexity while improving these outcomes. The Meritor Lube Management System (MLMSTM) embodies this philosophy. Designed to enhance axle efficiency, prolong component life, and reduce
What is axle gearing? Axle gearing plays a critical role in vehicle performance. It determines how efficiently engine power is delivered to the wheels, which directly impacts fuel efficiency, torque, acceleration, and the ability to climb grades. Selecting the right axle gearing can lead to lower fuel costs, improved drivability, and fewer maintenance issues throughout the vehicle’s life cycle.
Commercial vehicles must deliver rock-solid performance, minimize maintenance, and keep operating costs down. One way Cummins is helping customers meet that goal is with lashless valvetrain technology, a system designed to enhance reliability, durability and cut down on service needs. At the heart of the technology is the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA), a component that eliminates the need to ma
As the push for cleaner, more efficient engines, Cylinder Deactivation (CDA) is helping internal combustion technology move forward. By intelligently shutting down select cylinders when full power isn’t needed, CDA reduces fuel consumption, carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, and better manages nitrogen oxides (NOₓ). It’s a powerful tool for manufacturers preparing to meet upcoming emissions
Your vehicle’s suspension system does more than just provide a comfortable ride; it plays a critical role in keeping your vehicle stable, aligned, and performing at its best. Every bump, pothole, and turn puts pressure on suspension components. Over time, wear is inevitable. That is why regular suspension maintenance—and knowing when to replace key components—is key to extending vehicle l
Spring is the perfect time to give your vehicle’s brake system a fresh start. Winter’s cold, salt, and moisture can take a toll on brake components — especially in heavy-duty and commercial vehicles. A thorough post-winter inspection can improve safety, enhance performance, and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime in the busy months ahead. Air disc brakes (ADB) are critical for vehicle contro
Spring is a season of new beginnings, making it the perfect time to give your vehicle’s brake system a fresh start. Just like spring cleaning clears out the clutter, a thorough brake inspection helps address the wear and tear left behind by winter. Cold temperatures, road salt, moisture, and debris all take a toll on brake components, especially in heavy-duty and commercial vehicles. Conducting
