CUMMINS LAUNCHES 350-HP ISL FOR 4 X 2 SHORTHAUL TRUCKS



Joint Development with Allison Transmission Delivers Weight Savings up to 800 Lbs.



Columbus, IN - 22 Aug 2002





COLUMBUS, Ind. (August 22 2002) – Cummins Inc. today announced the introduction of a new 350-horsepower rating for its ISL engine, aimed at the 4 x 2 short-haul truck market.



The new rating, with 1050 lb-ft of torque, has been developed in conjunction with Allison Transmission to optimize the engine/drivetrain package and deliver substantial weight savings for increased productivity.



"The combination of the Cummins ISL 350 and the smooth-running Allison MD3066 automatic transmission delivers weight savings up to 800 lbs. – which is less than any competitive package for this market," said Cummins Director of Specialty Markets Chuck Goode. "The result is a high-value package for our customers in the 4 x 2 short-haul market. "



The ISL is a fully electronic in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine capable of providing ample power and excellent fuel economy, as well as electronics that make servicing the engine easy.

That does sound good because the 305 hp 555 ft lb version in the new trucks I drove at the TDR national is not going to be enough for the larger 5th wheels that's for sure.

I've had my heart set on an C8. 3 and ??? trans (preferably Allison) if I ever go to a full time 5th wh. 350 hp is loafing for a C! I don't know much about the L10 except that they aren't rated for the big OTR trucks. I think they're meant for local HD trucks like cement mixers etc. Isn't the C 400 lbs heavier than the B? What does the L weigh? Craig

I've read that the C is about 1800# and the L10 is about 200# on top of that... . allegedly the N14 is even heavier... add another 200# on top of the L10.



Weight of engines is hard data to come by.....
