September 12, 2006 -- Frost & Sullivan has selected Cummins Power Generation as the recipient of the 2006 North American Diesel Engine Technology Leadership of the Year Award in recognition of its impressive advancements and market leadership in emissions technology and its presence as a major environmentally minded market participant.

Cummins Power Generation, a subsidiary of Cummins Inc, is a global leader in increasing the availability and reliability of environmentally responsible electric power around the world.

"The company is eager to demonstrate its preparedness for the 2007 EPA emissions standards," says Frost & Sullivan energy analyst Devin Castleton. "Cummins boasts an approach to engine emissions reduction based not only on best-in-class technology and design, but also one that provides a product and cost to align with customer requirements whether the customer needs a first-fit, integrated design or needs to retrofit current equipment."

Cummins Power Generations emissions technology strategy is tightly integrated with its parent company, Cummins Inc, the first engine manufacturer to certify engines compliant to the October 2002 emissions standards. All of Cummins Inc's 2007 engines will be fully compliant with the new standards, running on the new ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.

Cummins Inc's state-of-the-art in-cylinder technology solutions provide cleaner air by preventing the formation of most nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide in diesel engine emissions. When exhaust after-treatment is required, its comprehensive product line includes diesel oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters, low NOx catalysts and mobile SCR systems.
