Western Star Trucks Sales announced the availability of the Cummins ISX15 EPA 2010 engine for the North American market.


The ISX15 will be offered in addition to Detroit Diesel's powertrain options.

The Cummins ISX15 features 400 to 600 horsepower and 1450 to 2050 pounds-feet of torque, suitable for a variety of vocational and on-highway applications.

"We know that many of our customers in construction and other applications prefer the Cummins engine," said Mike Jackson, general manager for Western Star.

The ISX15 features one of the lowest operating costs in its class, according to the company. The engine's XPI common-rail fuel system delivers a precise quantity of fuel at ultra-high pressures. When combined with the reduced restriction of the air-handling system, the new EPA 2010 version of the Cummins ISX15 will provide up to a 5 percent improvement in fuel economy.

Similar to its Detroit Diesel counterparts, the Cummins ISX15 will meet EPA 2010 engine regulations with Selective Catalytic Reduction.

The Cummins ISX15 will be available to order now, with production in March 2010 for ratings less than 500 horsepower, and July 2010 for ratings more than 500 horsepower.
