On January 11, 2010, U.S. Secretary of Energy Zhu Weiwen announced nine government-funded projects at the Cummins Columbus Technology Center, totaling US$187 million. Cummins will receive two special funds of US$54 million from the US Department of Energy for research to further improve the fuel economy of heavy trucks and light vehicles. US$39 million of the Cummins grant will be used for the development, integration, and efficiency demonstration of key system technologies for an eight-level high-performance heavy truck (super heavy truck). Another 15 million yuan will be used for the development of light vehicle advanced powertrain technology (ATP-LD). The increase in engine efficiency will not only reduce fuel consumption and crude oil use, but will also substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Cummins will work with Peterbilt, a subsidiary of PACCAR, to develop a super heavy truck project. The project will develop a highly efficient and environmentally friendly diesel engine, an advanced thermal energy recovery system, a Peterborough streamlined tractor trailer, and a fuel cell auxiliary power supply that will help reduce engine idling. "Cummins has been maintaining long-term good cooperation with the Department of Energy. These R&D results have helped us to develop the best products for both customer and environment considerations," said Tom Linebarger, president and chief operating officer of Cummins. “We are very grateful to the Department of Energy for its support for Cummins heavy truck and light vehicle projects. These two projects will create more job opportunities and help combat climate change and reduce fuel consumption. This cooperation between the public sector and the private sector can be described as To promote the economy, protect the environment and save energy in one fell swoop. We look forward to working closely with Peter Burt in this important technology project." The purpose of the DOE-funded heavy truck project is to increase the transportation efficiency of the Class 8 heavy trucks by 50% through the use of advanced and efficient engine systems and vehicle technology, while meeting the increasingly stringent emission standards and the safety and management regulations of the Grade 8 tractor trailers. . All problems involving the energy consumption of the traction trailers of Class 8 will be solved through the development and integration of advanced technologies. The goal of the ATP-LD project is to develop a new low-fuel, low-emission diesel engine that is 40% lower in fuel consumption than traditional gasoline engines and cleaner than the US EPA 2010 standard. This project will develop an advanced and highly integrated internal combustion engine and its aftertreatment system to maintain Tier2 Bin2 emission standards while maintaining the vehicle's dynamic and smooth ride. At the same time, it will also develop a system structure that meets the standards for the use of on-board diagnostic systems (OBDs), and proceed from the design stage to better promote the commercialization of products. “With the vigorous leadership and promotion of the Department of Energy, the industry and the government have established a bridge of cooperation in the research and development of advanced internal combustion engines,†said Dr. John Wall, vice president and chief technology officer of Cummins. “Cummins is willing to The Department of Energy continues to work together to continuously develop advanced diesel, hybrid and natural gas engine technologies to provide our customers with more efficient and cleaner engines." Cummins's project funded by the Department of Energy in the past has achieved revolutionary progress and breakthroughs in both the technical route and analytical methods, saving time for the early availability of vehicles equipped with advanced internal combustion engines. In 2007, Cummins launched a 6.7-liter turbocharged engine and reached the EPA 2010 emission standard three years ahead of schedule. The nitrogen oxide adsorption catalyst used in this engine is the result of a joint development between Cummins and the Department of Energy. Other key technologies such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Cooled EGR, Particulate Filter (DPF), and Diesel Oxidation Catalytic Converter (DOC) are also fruitful collaborations. Cummins' new-generation 2010 engine is the cleanest and most fuel-efficient product series to date. Both of these key technologies have been adopted, effectively demonstrating the importance of these projects. The Cummins heavy truck and light vehicle project funded by the Department of Energy this time Will continue to verify this. Qingdao SUBA CNC Technology Co., Ltd , https://www.cncrouter-china.com
