ANYTIME. ANY ENGINE.™ C ummins and Eaton have expanded their inte- grated powertrain partnership introduced last year that included the Cummins ISX15 diesel engine and the Eaton Fuller Advantage automated manual transmission. Cummins's Lori Thompson, vice president of truck and bus OEM business, said the ISX12 diesel engine soon will be available with the SmartAdvantage pow- ertrain and provide a 2 to 4 percent fuel economy savings. It will be offered as a small-ratio-step overdrive model with two new Cum- mins ISX12 SmartTorque2 ratings: the ISX12 370ST2, with torque of 1,150 lb.-ft. to 1,450 lb.-ft., and the ISX12 425ST2, with torque of 1,350 lb.-ft. to 1,650 lb.-ft. "The latest SmartAdvantage Powertrain offerings are a natural extension of the initial product and will provide customers with the fuel economy and productivity improve- ments they desire, along with a broad range of applications to meet their specific hauling needs," Thompson said. John Beering, senior vice president and general manager of Eaton's commercial vehicle transmission business, said the ISX15 SmartAdvantage will be available for 110,000-lb. GVW applications later this year, primarily to serve heavy-haul customers in Canada. In other news, the companies announced an integrated powertrain package for the Cum- mins Westport ISX12 G natural gas engine and Eaton UltraShift Plus automated trans- mission in the North American market. The new pairing initially will be available in regional and linehaul applications midyear. – Jeff Crissey Cummins and Eaton have expanded their integrated SmartAd- vantage powertrain partnership for Cummins engines and Eaton transmissions introduced last year.
