Cummins quietly grows off-road product range - Cummins Engine Co. introduces fully electronic off-road engines

New B3.3 engine takes Cummins down to 60 hp; QSB5.9, QSC8.3 fully electronic off-road engines

For all of the talk that has swirled around the industry about Cummins Engine Co. over the last year or so, perhaps the greatest irony is the fact that during that time, amid the rumors of mergers, buyouts and financial maneuverings, the Columbus, Ind.-based diesel engine manufacturer has managed to very quietly expand and develop its industrial engine line.

Indeed now, with the introduction of the B3.3, QSB and QSC diesel engines to its industrial lineup at the recent AED/Condex meeting, it's safe to say that never in the 79-year history of the company has it had a more comprehensive stable of nonroad engines, spanning an output range of 60 to 2700 hp.

"Cummins Engine Co. is absolutely committed to the off-highway business," said Joe Loughrey, group president industrial at Cummins. "We're committed to it as a company because we believe there are terrific growth opportunities for both Cummins and for its distributors around the world."
