On September 19, 2018, Cummins brought a number of new products to the IAA 2018, the world's first PowerDrive plug-in hybrid electric power system solution and innovative technology to achieve zero-emissions of nitrogen oxides and reduce carbon footprint. A variety of engine products.
Multi-purpose electric hybrid system PowerDrive world premiere: multi-source power to meet more customer needs
At this show, Cummins' multi-purpose electric hybrid power system, PowerDrive, is the world's first to meet the needs of light, medium and heavy duty diversified applications. This unique hybrid system is fitted to a Kenworth showcase at the Cummins booth. On the T370 electric hybrid multi-purpose truck. Like most multi-purpose hybrid systems on the market today, Cummins PowerDrive systems are available in both parallel and series versions. PowerDrive replaces traditional gearboxes and switches in two hybrids. The mode is switched in real time between the two pure electric modes to optimize the drive train for optimum fuel economy in any driving situation. This vehicle is also equipped with power quality at the grid quality level to charge other vehicles. It is configured as a rescue crane powered by electric or engine.
According to Tom Linebarger, chairman and CEO of Cummins Inc., the team carrying the Cummins PowerDrive system has traveled more than 6 million miles (10 million kilometers) in the US and China, and will start working on it in the near future. The system was introduced to the European market.
Julie Furber, Executive Director of Cummins Electric Power Division, said, 'One hundred years of inheritance, to achieve customers. Cummins once again demonstrated that we are changing the way of transportation in the future. We provide customers with the most diverse and most advanced power system solutions with comprehensive service capabilities. ' .
'Cummins PowerDrive system's intelligent, versatile, and compact features allow our road engine customers to flexibly respond to different business and market needs. Cummins is now ready to offer the latest PowerDrive system through OEM partners. We look forward to exploring how to take advantage of PowerDrive's compact package and lightweight, allowing OEMs to produce plug-in electric vehicles that meet different needs without compromising vehicle performance and cruising range.
Release of future diesel nitrogen oxide quasi-zero emission technology: Diesel is still the main source of power in the future
In the technical showcase of this exhibition, Cummins highlighted a conceptual emission control system that can reduce emissions to unprecedented levels and even meet the Euro 7 emission standards expected to be implemented in the next decade. Cummins will The conceptual emission control system, combined with the latest intelligent electronic technology, represents another revolutionary leap in diesel engines.
Tim Proctor, executive director of Cummins Product Management and Market Innovation, said, 'This innovative system can improve fuel economy while further reducing nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions. Several other Cummins developed to reduce drag and friction losses. Innovative technology will also continue to promote the development of diesel engines in a more energy-efficient way. In addition, by improving the design tool function and using advanced materials such as composite materials, while maintaining the strength, the weight of the parts is reduced, and the vehicle work efficiency is further improved.
Proctor said, 'Although Cummins is in full swing in electrification projects, another key message we want to convey at the IAA is that diesel engines are not stagnating. As our technology advances, we believe that for the foreseeable future, Diesel is still the main source of power in the commercial vehicle sector. Cummins is committed to providing the right power solution based on the customer's different vehicle models, mission cycles and business requirements.
Cummins is developing this conceptual emission control system that combines turbocharged air management and exhaust aftertreatment into a single tight coupling system with new rotary turbine control (RTC) technology. This new design leverages Cummins in the air. And the latest technology in the field of thermal management allows almost all nitrogen oxide emissions to be rapidly converted to clean gases after being subjected to a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system.
Cummins' progress is not limited to hardware enhancements. Cummins continues to innovate and enhance the functionality of intelligent connectivity systems, enabling remote real-time monitoring of devices in use, reporting operational status in real time, and performing remote calibration and repair services to enhance vehicles. Uptime, reducing life cycle costs. Cummins will further accelerate digital technology development in the future, strengthen remote intelligent customization support and management functions, and help fleet managers to be able to drive drivers' driving habits, road conditions and geographic coordinates according to the unique needs of various businesses. , personalization of power and speed.
In addition, Cummins ADEPTTM forward-looking smart assisted driving technology fully unlocks the powertrain automation potential and allows the driver to become an expert, further fuel economy can be further increased by 6%. Functional aspects, Predictive Cruise Control, Use the vehicle GPS system to observe the road condition 2 km ahead of the vehicle and adjust the speed according to the terrain in front. SmartCoast technology can adjust the powertrain to the neutral position on the downhill section and use the momentum of the vehicle to save fuel. SmartTorque2 is calculated in real time. The precise torque required for the truck payload to minimize downshifts.
