The best of all worlds

Cummins is the undisputed global leader in high-performance diesel engines in on highway applications. For nearly two decades, the Cummins X Series platform has continually set new standards for power, productivity, low cost of operation and total value.

The new lightweight, high-output 12-litre X12 meets Euro VI standards. With impressive peak outputs of 490 hp and 1696 lb ft of torque, the X12 has the highest power-to-weight ratio of any engine in the 10-to-16-litre class. The innovative architecture of the X12 results in a remarkably low engine weight of 917 kg, achieved through a sculptured block design and the use of high-strength composite materials.

The X12 is Euro VI emissions compliant using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology with AdBlue®/DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) dosing.

The use of a rear geartrain also contributes to overall engine refinement by reducing vibration and lowering noise. The X12 uses a standard wastegate turbocharger and also has an integrated engine brake that delivers the high retarding power that Cummins heavy-duty engines are renowned for. The engine’s single cam in-head design with roller valve train and high efficiency intake ports continues the design theme of minimum complexity and maximum efficiency.

Features & Benefits
