Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today that the Cummins X12
engine is now available in the Freightliner 114SD chassis.
“Cummins is excited about the positive impact our X12 will have
in weight-sensitive markets,” said Brett Merritt, Vice President −
Cummins On-Highway Engine Business. “We believe that the Cummins
X12 in Freightliner’s 114SD truck will be an exceptional option for
vocational customers.”
The X12 is the lightest engine in Class 8 trucks and at only
2,050 pounds, has the highest power-to-weight ratio of any engine
in its class. This lighter weight engine enables greater payload
while improving productivity and uptime. The engine is capable of
up to 500 horsepower and 1700 pounds-feet of torque, and is
optimized for the Freightliner 114SD chassis for vocational
applications like concrete mixers and dump trucks.
“We are dedicated to providing vocational customers with a wide
range of powertrain options to meet the specific needs of their
businesses,” said Kelly Gedert, Director of Product Marketing for
Freightliner Trucks and Detroit Components. “By adding the Cummins
X12 to our engine portfolio, we give the already versatile 114SD
yet another option, showing our commitment to providing customers a
choice.”
Freightliner trucks are designed for productivity and offer
drivers enhanced ergonomics, improved visibility and a comfortable
platform for a variety of job applications. With the lightweight
Cummins X12, fleets can carry more on each trip without
compromising performance or reliability, and drivers will love the
way the engine makes the truck feel.
More payload isn’t all customers can expect from the Cummins X12
powered Freightliner 114SD truck. The low-friction design of the
X12 offers improved fuel economy with extended maintenance
intervals similar to the Cummins X15 engine, as well as high
mileage, real-world experience to ensure maximum uptime.
The X12 is now available to order at Freightliner.
