CUMMINS ORGANISERA DES ESSAIS ROUTIERS DES SÉRIES X15 EFFICIENCY ET X15 PERFORMANCE AU MID-AMERICA TRUCKING SHOW, DU 23 AU 25 MARS

Les 23, 24 et 25 mars, Cummins organisera des promenades au MATS, avec les derniers moteurs de la série 2017 X15 Efficiency et de la série X15 Performance qui transporteront des remorques entièrement chargées sur une boucle interétatique. Les conducteurs auront une expérience concrète de l'accélération fluide, de la puissance de traction exceptionnelle et de l'efficacité énergétique remarquable que les moteurs Cummins X15 offrent, sans aucun compromis. Reservations for specific driving times will be coordinated by Cummins representatives in Cummins Booth 30025 at the show.

One tractor-trailer will be equipped with the X15 Efficiency Series engine in a typical fuel- economy-minded spec. Drivers will experience how Cummins “look-ahead” ADEPTTM  technology and the highest compression ratio in the industry make trucks easier to drive, with up to 1850 lb-ft of torque starting at just 1000 rpm.

The other tractor-trailer will have an X15 Performance Series engine under the hood. Rated at up to 605 hp and 2050 lb-ft of peak torque, with industry-leading 600 braking horsepower, this is a truck driver's ultimate dream machine. The ride-and-drive route includes highway on- and off-ramps, where this engine's full capabilities can be put to the test.

Mario Sanchez, Director - On Highway Marketing Communications, encouraged attendees to take advantage of this unique opportunity. "Whether you are looking to lower your fuel usage or you are an expediter concerned with having the power to maintain speed through the mountains, there's a Cummins X15 that's right for you," he said. "While others at MATS talk about technology of the future, Cummins is putting it in your hands."

Any driver with a valid commercial driver's license (CDL) can sign up to drive an X15-powered vehicle, while non-CDL holders can sign up to ride along with a Cummins driver. Signups for the ride-and-drive will take place during MATS in Cummins Booth 30025, in the South Wing of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center.
