Better. Every Route.
™
Engines For Urban Transit
Applications.
We’ve utilized our fully integrated technology
to simultaneously improve fuel economy and
performance, lowering operating costs as we reduce
emissions to near-zero levels.
Cummins is a leader in hybrid diesel engines. Dieselelectric buses powered by Cummins ISB6.7 and ISL9
engines have completed millions of miles of reliable
service throughout the world.
Better. Where It Counts. Every Minute.
What counts is cleaner, more fuel efficient and more
reliable engines to keep your buses on schedule.
That’s what Cummins 2013 engines deliver, whether
you are looking for diesel, natural gas or dieselelectric hybrid engines to power your urban bus
fleet.
Not only do all of our Cummins transit bus engines
meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
2013 emissions standards, but they also meet 2014
greenhouse gas (GHG) and fuel efficiency standards
a full year ahead of schedule. Our ISL9 and ISB6.7
clean diesel engines get up to 2 percent better fuel
economy versus 2010 engines, while the Cummins
Westport ISL G takes advantage of an abundance
of domestically produced natural gas to provide
lower total cost of ownership. These engines
share common base engine components, for
exceptional reliability and durability.
Cummins is the only engine manufacturer to design,
develop and support a totally integrated system from
the air handling to the exhaust aftertreatment. This
allows us to optimize performance to a degree that
no other manufacturer can match.
Our total commitment to delivering reliable power you
can count on every minute, backed by the largest
and most capable service and support network in
North America, is the reason Cummins has been the
#1 choice in U.S. urban transit fleets since 1998.
Leadership In Clean Diesel Technology.
Cummins is a leader in the development of diesel
engines with near-zero emissions. Our fully integrated
approach includes the Cummins Aftertreatment
System with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) that
works in combination with our Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) system. The entire system is
controlled by a single, robust Electronic Control
Module (ECM), for optimized combustion, better
performance and enhanced reliability.
Cummins 2013 ISL9 diesel is
equipped with a proven On-Board
Diagnostics system used in
thousands of on-road vehicles
since 2007. This system continuously monitors
performance of the emissions system, providing alerts
through a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the
instrument panel. The MIL illuminates when it detects
a malfunction related to the emissions control system,
altering the operator that the engine needs proper
troubleshooting and possible repair.
Alternative Technologies –
Natural Gas And Hybrid Engines.
At Cummins, we recognize that just talking about
climate change and environmental impact aren’t
enough. So, in addition to offering clean-diesel
engines, we're at the forefront of alternative
technologies that can help reduce our dependence
on fossil fuels, and lower GHG emissions.
These include the ISL G natural gas engine from
Cummins Westport and our ISL9 and ISB6.7
diesel-electric hybrid engines.
The Cummins Westport ISL G is the most popular
natural gas engine in North America today,
delivering all the advantages of clean-burning
natural gas with no compromise in power or
torque.
Cummins ISL9 and ISB6.7 engines are used in a
wide range of hybrid diesel-electric systems found
in 30- to 60-foot standard and articulated buses all
across North America.
Cummins ISB6.7. Better Adds Up.
Reduced operating costs. Lower greenhouse gas
emissions. The fact that you get both in an engine
that meets 2014 GHG and fuel efficiency standards
a year ahead of schedule with near-zero emissions
is a bonus. The ISB6.7 is available exclusively
for transit bus hybrid diesel-electric propulsion
systems.
Cummins ISB6.7 already provides best-in-class
fuel economy, and it gets up to 2 percent better
fuel economy versus the 2010 model, so you get
lower operating costs. There is no compromise in
performance, either. The ISB6.7 used in hybrid dieselelectric power plants is rated at 280 hp (209 kW) with
660 lb-ft (896 N•m) of torque.

A Better Route To Better Performance.
Cummins ISL9 clean diesel engine combines proven
reliability with exceptional durability. Years of bus duty
in tough urban routes provide ample evidence that its
high power-to-weight ratio, replaceable wet liner design,
roller followers, bypass oil filtration, targeted piston
cooling and other heavy duty engine features set the
standard for others to follow. It uses the XPI fuel system,
and shares the same high capacity Electronic Control
Module (ECM) with all other Cummins on-highway
diesel engines, for powerful, smooth, quiet performance.
Plus, because cleaner is better, the ISL9 already meets
2014 GHG and fuel economy standards, getting 2 percent
better fuel economy versus the previous model. Clean
diesel ratings are available at 280 hp (209 kW) and 330 hp
(246 kW) with up to 1100 lb-ft (1493 N•m) of peak torque.
A diesel-electric hybrid rating is available at 330 hp (246 kW)
with a peak torque of 1100 lb-ft (1493 N•m). The ISL9 has
the street smarts to make every urban transit operation run
better. Every bus. And every route.

Designed To Work Better – Where It Counts.
Cummins designs every component from air handling to the exhaust aftertreatment to work as a totally integrated system,
so we can optimize performance better than other engine manufacturers.
High-Capacity Electronic
Control Module (ECM)
VGT™ Turbocharger From Cummins
Turbo Technologies
A single ECM manages the entire
engine and aftertreatment system,
for optimum performance. This ECM
is used across the board for 2013
on-highway engines.
This patented design is widely recognized
as the industry leader for performance.
Electric actuation improves precision
and responsiveness.
Cummins Aftertreatment System
From Cummins Emission Solutions
The proprietary system consists of a Diesel Particulate
Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
technology for near-zero emissions.
Fleetguard® Fuel Filters, Lube Filters
And DEF From Cummins Filtration
Fleetguard filters protect against corrosion and
contaminants with innovative technology such
as NanaoNet™ media, which provides 10 times
better protection than conventional fuel filters.
High quality DEF is widely available at authorized
Cummins and Fleetguard locations, as well as in
bulk delivery.
High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR)
Fuel System From Cummins Fuel
Systems
High injection pressures produce quick throttle
response at every rpm. Optimized timing
increases fuel efficiency and lowers emissions.

Naturally Better. Cummins Westport ISL G
Natural Gas Engine.
There are over 40,000 Cummins Westport natural
gas engine-equipped vehicles performing cleanly and
reliably today. Interest in natural gas engines is steadily
growing throughout North America, with Cummins
Westport natural gas engines widely recognized for their
technological leadership in urban transit fleets. The ISL G
combines all the advantages of clean burning natural gas
with no compromise in power or torque.
The ISL G uses Stoichiometric cooled Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (SEGR) combustion to create the optimal
combination of power, torque and low emissions levels.
Stoichiometric combustion is the ideal ratio at which fuel
and oxygen are both completely consumed.
The oxygen free exhaust stream enables the use of our
proprietary Three-Way Catalyst (TWC). This completely
passive device never needs additional fluids, regeneration
or cleaning, and takes the place of a conventional muffler.
Fuel for the Cummins Westport ISL G can be stored on the
vehicle as compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural
gas (LNG). The ISL G can also run on renewable natural
gas (RNG) made from biogas or landfill gas that has been
upgraded for vehicle fuel quality.
The ISL G shares 80 percent of its heavy duty components
with its diesel counterpart, the Cummins ISL9. This
increases durability and reliability while reducing the overall
ownership cost. The troubleshooting capabilities (using
Cummins standard software and diagnostic tools) are
also shared.

TWCs are passive devices packaged as part
of the muffler, and are maintenance-free. The
ISL G des not require active aftertreatment
such as a particulate filter or Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
Stochiometric Cooled EGR
The ideal air/fuel ratio for complete
combustion means zero oxygen in
the exhaust, which allows use of
the passive Three-Way Catalyst.
High-Capacity Electronic
