Cummins Inc. announced Tuesday that its heavy-duty ISX and ISM on-highway truck engines for 2007 will be covered by its exclusive Uptime Guarantee, an industry first when it was introduced in 2002.

For 2007, the Uptime Guarantee includes both the engine and the aftertreatment system. Under the guarantee, if a customer's ISX or ISM engine or aftertreatment system fails and can't be repaired within a 24-hour period, Cummins will not only pay for the repairs, but also provide up to three days of reimbursement for a rental vehicle, so that customers can deliver their loads.
"Customers need to know that they can buy 2007 vehicles with absolute confidence that they are going to perform reliably. With over 40 billion miles of real-world testing and experience, Cummins can provide that kind of assurance," said Jeff Jones, Cummins vice president of sales and market communications.
Cummins introduced the Uptime Guarantee back in 2002 with the launch of its cooled-EGR engines as a measure of confidence in the engines' reliability. Cummins proven cooled-EGR subsystem is the foundation for its 2007 emissions solution.
The Uptime Guarantee applies to all EPA-certified 2007 Cummins ISX and ISM engines through Dec. 31, 2007, with coverage good through the end of this year, and is available at all Cummins distributors and qualified dealers.
Cummins Inc. is a corporation of business units that design, manufacture, distribute and service engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems.
