You may wonder why the Cummins engine continues to dominate the market year after year. Here’s a look at the different types of Cummins engines and their benefits.
The Different Types of Cummins Engine
B6.7 for Medium-Duty Truck
The B6.7 is in its fourth stage of development and has been improved and perfected for over 30 years. It’s the best selling engine in the medium-duty truck market - and for good reason. Not only is it reliable and durable, but it also gets the highest fuel economy of any engine in its class. With the addition of an air intake throttle, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is more efficient, reducing parasitic losses to increase fuel economy and lower operating costs.
The B6.7 features High-Pressure Common Rail fuel injection for ongoing pressure and powerful performance at every RPM. Multiple injection events per cycle make this engine quiet and smooth to operate. Ratings range from 200-325 hp (149-242 kW). Bottom line, the B6.7 has the power to get any job done right.
