“With its best-in-class power-to-weight ratio, Cummins believes
that the X12 engine will be well suited to address the needs of the
refuse market as well as other weight sensitive vocational
applications,” said Brett Merritt, Vice President – Cummins
On-Highway Engine Business. “Autocar is a key player in the North
America refuse market and this introduction will further our
current collaboration across diesel and natural gas platforms.”
To meet customer needs, the Cummins X12 boasts a remarkably low
engine weight of 2,050 pounds that doesn’t compromise on durability
or performance. Delivering up to 500 horsepower (373 kW), the X12
has the highest power-to-weight ratio of any comparable engine in
the market. Haulers specifically with the Autocar ACX powered by
the X12 engine will see a significant weight savings of 733 pounds
versus Cummins‘ previous 12-liter engine. That's 733 pounds more
payload available.
“Autocar is focused on bringing innovations to the market with
real, tangible benefits to our customers,” said Jim Johnston,
President of Autocar. “This new engine puts more cash in our
customers’ pockets, plain and simple. We’re gratified that Cummins
trusts us to bring the X12 engine to the refuse market first.”
The X12 uses the latest Single Module™ aftertreatment system,
which takes up to 60 percent less space and weighs up to 40 percent
less than prior aftertreatment configurations. Combined engine and
aftertreatment weight for the X12 is around 2,240 pounds –
considerably lower than that of any other heavy-duty system.
“Built around improved uptime and reliability, the X12 will be
in prime position to support Autocar’s vision of ‘Always Up®,’”
Merritt said.
The X12 will be available in Autocar’s ACX starting in the
fourth quarter of 2018.
