NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 11, 2024 / Cummins Inc.
Emission regulations have become crucial in reducing the environmental impact of heavy-duty vehicles. The implementation of U.S. Environment Protection Agency's (EPA) 2027 emission standards in North America is expected to be a significant milestone in this ongoing endeavor, drastically lowering nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission limits by over
System trade-offs significantly influence design choices for both the engine and aftertreatment, as these components must work in tandem to ensure optimal performance, serviceability and configurability for customers. Since 2007, Cummins Inc.'s Engine Business has partnered with Cummins Emission Solutions (CES) to develop system designs in North America that meet EPA regulations while prioritizing customer needs. The 2027 product lineup will introduce a new aftertreatment architecture, the Twin Module, built on proven solutions and adaptable configurations that minimize impact on customer chassis. When paired with the EPA 2027 X15 engine, which retains cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and in-cylinder hydrocarbon dosing, the Twin Module is powered by a 48V alternator that enables the CES-designed electric heating system. This integration, featuring a belt-driven alternator and the application of electric heat in the aftertreatment, allows the 2027 solutions to meet lower emissions requirements without compromising engine performance or durability. As with the current Single Module system, the Twin Module continues CES's commitment to ease of serviceability and customer configurability.
CES Electric Heating System to Meet EPA27
According to Bethany Huckaby, Product Manager - CES, her team "is focused on the best way to apply appropriate technologies for the combination of critical factors: what does the regulation demand, what does the engine need and what does the market require." For the EPA27 regulations in North American On-Highway markets, the system will utilize electric heat - along with other design changes - to deliver emissions performance in a "future proof" manner. This approach allows the EPA 2027 engines to concentrate on their performance without the added concern of thermal management required for aftertreatment.
Leveraging the advantages of electric heating technology makes sense in North America's On-Highway space for several reasons. By developing its own electric heaters specifically designed for heavy-duty commercial environments, CES is equipping customers with scalable solutions for the future. The Twin Module systems can apply heat to the exhaust "on-demand" and precisely where needed, ensuring accurate thermal management without compromising engine performance. This leads to improved engine efficiency-and consequently better fuel economy-across all potential operating conditions that a truck may face in North America. If future regulations continue to tighten emissions standards, the system architecture is already prepared to meet those requirements with minimal space claim adjustments, preventing customers from needing to redesign their chassis entirely.
Much like the earlier aftertreatment products, the Twin Module is designed to offer a comprehensive range of configuration options for customers. Utilizing electric heaters reduces the additional catalyst volume required resulting in a more compact system, and the assemblies can be arranged in several ways through a host of configurable product options. CES recognizes that maximizing flexibility in vehicle integration is crucial as the EPA27 regulations demand enhanced performance for longer durations than ever before.

The European market is also expected to generate a huge demand for innovative aftertreatment solutions driven by the
