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.
