Cummins Bridgeway
has announced a new initiative to reduce diesel and natural gas
exhaust emissions in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Exhaust
after-treatment is going to be a critical component of our long
range business plan and that initiative starts today.
Cummins Bridgeway has already been successful
in performing installations for Bandit Industries and Harsco Track
Technologies (see pictures). With these two DOEM customers, both
report successes in providing "green engines" to their
customers who want to reduce tail pipe emissions. Both customers
are receiving credit from local communities and clean air groups
for their proactive stance on reducing emissions. These two B-series
engines were fitted with catalytic exhaust mufflers manufactured
by Fleetguard Nelson, a subsidiary of Cummins Inc. |


This University of Michigan bus was outfitted with a diesel
particulate filter by Cummins Bridgeway. The filter has
reduced the buses emissions by 90%.

Catalytic mufflers can reduce
Particulate Matter up to 50%, Hydrocarbons up to 90% and Carbon
Monoxide at a rate of up to 90% also. These products contain integrated
catalyst within the mufflers, require no maintenance and can operate
without the use of Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel. Future projects will
include Transit Buses, Generator Units, School Buses, Natural
Gas Power Units, On Highway Equipment and large Industrial Power
Units.
In addition to catalytic mufflers,
particulate filters, mobile SCR, NOx absorbers and EGR systems
are also available and will play a roll in cleaning up tail pipe
emissions as more stringent reductions become mandatory.
