Cummins and LTL carrier American Freightways have agreed to conduct a low-NOx (nitrous oxide) engine recalibration program using technology developed by Cummins.
To meet its goal of reducing emissions without sacrificing engine performance or fuel economy, American Freightways is recalibrating the portion of its fleet of tractors containing 1,500 Cummins 1997 and 1998 M11 and M11 Plus engines. American Freightways expects to recalibrate these engines by spring of 2002.
The recalibrations take place at regular maintenance intervals, using Cummins' INSITE/ESDN software as a tool for initial recalibration, and later using Cummins' INSPEC software as a management tool to adjust and maintain engine parameters.
Cummins is providing American Freightways with recalibration software, as well as engine stickers for each recalibrated engine to indicate that it meets the optional low-NOx standard set by the EPA.
