The next evolution of the ISL is a continuation of the current product strategy.  Cummins utilized product upgrades and emissions credits for a certified solution.  By choosing the right technology for each market, Cummins ensures the highest quality launch at the lowest possible installed cost.

Key features include:

• Enhanced reliability through product upgrades and common components
• EPA guidelines met without emissions control devices such as no EGR or exhaust aftertreatment (catalyst or soot filter)
• Lower installed costs through minimal changes to customer options
• Simplified maintenance for lower cost of ownership
• Most current and some new OEMs will release the new ISL
• Noise levels reduced by up to 2 dBA, which represents a 37% reduction in noise power
• Wide usage of Six-Sigma tools throughout the design process

Product upgrades include:

• New high-pressure common-rail fuel system with electronic injectors for lowered emissions, reliability, and performance
• Robust breather that virtually eliminates oil carryover
• Roller followers have been increased for high pressures and load carrying
• Coolant flows optimized and balanced for improved cooling for durability
• Oil cooler efficiency increased more than 30%, resulting in no increase in oil pan temperatures in spite of the higher allowable top tank temperatures
• Block and cylinder head strengthened to support peak cylinder pressures and durability
• Targeted piston cooling for piston and piston pin life
• LF9009 combination bypass and full-flow oil filter
