According to Cummins, X15 engines exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2017 greenhouse gas (GHG) and fuel- effi ciency standards, with lower fuel consumption, extended service intervals, enhanced performance and the highest quality standards across a 400 to 605 horsepower ratings range. Both confi gurations are available in limited production through the remainder of 2016 with full production beginning in January, 2017, Cummins says. "I am proud of the innovative, hard work that has gone into this game-changing engine platform, and we are excited to see these im- portant products rolling off the line," says Srikanth Padmanabhan, president, Engine Business, at Cummins. "Attention to detail was paramount from product design, to our talented colleagues bringing them to life on the manufacturing fl oor, to every step in between.

Ridewell says the kit includes a 1,300 cubic in. air tank and a pressure protec- tion valve (PPV). A 30 amp relay for lift in reverse operation, pigtail and high fl ow Lift Axle Control Module (LACM) are included to remove the need for an air control kit enclosure. A pressure gauge, pressure regulator and hoses for pri- mary air supply connections to complete vehicle installation can be purchased separately to be shipped with the suspension.

This heavy-duty construction helps prevent wear and breakage in even the most demanding shop settings.
