Power To Go. Power To Whoa.

The X15 Efficiency series is optimized to deliver the power you need, with 400 hp to 500 hp and 1450-1850 lb-ft of peak torque – more than enough to get you off the line, down the road and up the steepest hill. But what’s really impressive is what happens when you crest the hill and take your foot off the accelerator. That’s when the most powerful engine brake in the industry kicks in, and you just ease on down the road. You get over 400 braking horsepower (bhp) at just 1300 rpm.

Durability, Efficiency And Innovation That Will Make History. Again.

It began as a radically innovative platform, complete with dual overhead cams, exceptionally strong engine braking and an even tougher head and block, for unrivaled dependability. Customers took notice, quickly making the Cummins ISX15 the best-selling engine in its category, by far. But at Cummins, we’re never satisfied with the status quo. So virtually every critical component has been scrutinized, modified, upgraded and improved. All that makes the 2017 X15 a completely reinvented platform that delivers the best performance and dependability in the industry.

Dynamic electronic features, the high-efficiency VGT^® Turbo and an optimized combustion formula have resulted in a significant increase in fuel efficiency and throttle response. The integrated Single Module™ aftertreatment system dramatically increases cleaning intervals while saving weight and space. We’ve combined the best available components with our advanced engine controls into one fully integrated powertrain package that is so efficient that it is redefining the heavy-duty trucking industry. Again.

VGT® Turbocharger From Cummins Turbo Technologies

This turbocharger has variable geometry, for precision and responsiveness. The actuator is four to six times stronger than that of previous versions, for even better dependability. An enhanced design with a new impeller provides rapid boost and improved engine braking.

XPI Fuel System From Cummins Fuel Systems

The XPI system delivers superior performance, regardless of engine rpm. Multiple injection events per cycle improve fuel efficiency and enable smoother, quieter operation. Steel plungers and diamond like coated roller tappets make this the toughest XPI fuel system to date.

Single ModuleTM Aftertreatment System From Cummins Emission Solutions

A flow-through design offers better heat management, for improved efficiency. Increased ash capacity means fewer maintenance events. And it’s up to 40 percent lighter and 60 percent smaller than two-part systems.

Fleetguard® Fuel Filters And Lube Filters From Cummins Filtration

These filters protect against corrosion and contaminants that can cause performance issues. The Fleetguard LF 14000NN lube filter provides less restriction, for faster flow and better cold-start capability, while still trapping nearly 99 percent of particles down to 4 microns.

High-Capacity Electronic Control Module (ECM)

The robust ECM manages the engine and aftertreatment system simultaneously, for optimum performance and fuel efficiency.

Cummins Engine Brake

The most powerful engine brake in the industry offers up to 600 bhp, adding control on downhill grades, and helping reduce service brake wear, downtime and replacement costs.

Vehicle Acceleration Management (VAM)

VAM reduces driveline wear and improves fuel economy in bobtail and light-load driving conditions.

Connected DiagnosticsTM

This feature uses telematics to wirelessly connect the engine to Cummins for rapid fault diagnosis. It enables continued operation without risk in most events, maximizing uptime.

Power Cylinder Improvements

Combustion’s hot. That’s bad for your oil. The X15 incorporates an enhanced piston design that reduces the transfer of heat to the oil, increasing both durability and oil-drain intervals.
