Some of those answers, the company said, can be provided by Cummins' Advisor and PowerMatch software. Both are analytical programs that lead the OEM engineer through an engine selection and installation process that incorporates Cummins requirements and recommendations and provides an assessment of the installation with an eye toward maximizing total equipment operation.

"In terms of aftertreatment" Crompton added, "we have Fleetguard as a part of Cummins and we believe that gives us a significant advantage. We're going to design the aftertreatment, we're going to package it, in some cases we're maybe going to install it and we're going to support it. I don't think there's anybody else in the industry that's going to be able to do all of those things at the same time with a collective statement of confidence that a customer can be comfortable from an engine-out perspective, I'm covered.

"I think it's reinforcing Cummins as a credible, long-term, committed supplier to the off-highway markets. A lot of people have seen our transition from non-emissionized product the last two cycles and built some mist. I think the fact that we are repeating what we said we would do is doing nothing more than reinforcing our commitment and ability to be a long-term leader in this business."
