Cummins performs aftertreatment u-turn

In the face of rising energy prices, Cummins has announced a dramatic shift in its US 2010 heavy-duty engine strategy.

This decision will leave the Caterpillar/International alliance as the sole proponent of high volume EGR for the US 2010 heavy-duty market.
