COLUMBUS, IN – Cummins Inc. has earned a 2008 Automotive News PACE Award for innovation demonstrated by the 6.7L turbo diesel engine. The PACE Award ceremony, held on Apr. 14 in Detroit, Mich., honors superior innovation, technological advancement, and business performance among automotive suppliers.

Cummins has been recognized for the 6.7L Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel engine, which debuted in January 2007 and is available in the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models. The 6.7L diesel engine is the strongest, cleanest, quietest heavy-duty diesel pickup truck engine available on the market and is the first to meet the 2010 EPA emissions regulations in all 50 states. Cummins achieves this by using a NOx Adsorber Catalyst, a breakthrough technology designed and integrated by Cummins.

Cummins earned Automotive News PACE Award winner status after an extensive review by an independent panel of judges, a comprehensive written application and a site visit. The 14th annual award was presented by Automotive News and co-sponsors Microsoft, SAP, and Transportation Research Center Inc.

When Fleet Collides With HR

By Mike Antich
