Other brands in the mix: DTNA’s Western Star had 461, Mack took 259 and Peterbilt had 115. International had a 37% share of Cummins under 10L engines, taking 3,107.
Cummins does dominate there and so it’s not surprising to me.” Speaking of Cummins’ large presence in Class 8 engines under 10L, Mike Roeth, executive director of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency, said, “The vast majority, maybe all, of the under 10L engines are in things like dump trucks, snowplows and refuse trucks, not over-the-road tractors. “We want to give all our customers the freedom to choose.” He said some customers also may have mixed fleets and have Cummins engines in Freightliner models and competing truck brands. We think our proprietary powertrains still have a significant fuel efficiency benefit compared with other engines,” said Müller-Finkeldei. “I can understand there are some customers that still prefer, for example, Cummins engines which are also very solid engines. Freightliner accounted for 53% of the Cummins engines, or 4,447. Cummins had an 87.5% share, or 8,389 engines. The total number of engines in the lighter Class 8 segment was 9,586. “Our entry into the regional haul market with the low weight X12 will further support our leading share in this market,” Cummins Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger said in an earnings call July 28.Ĭummins was not available for further comments. In the meantime, Cummins began shipments of its X12 engine to Freightliner for use in their Cascadia day cab and sleeper models in the second quarter. “We improved the fuel efficiency of the Cascadia over 2007 by 35% and are delivering every year more fuel efficiency benefits.”
This is really the dominant portion of the vehicles we sell,” said Rainer Müller-Finkeldei, senior vice president of engineering and technology at DTNA. And these days we came up to a very high percentage of Detroit Diesel engines in our vehicles. “We are pretty proud because looking backward, 10 years ago, we didn’t have any proprietary engines at all. There were 73,386 engines produced in the 10L and over category: DD made 26,002, or 35.4%. Class 8 retail sales, is the largest user of DD engines and both are units of Daimler Trucks North America. led Cummins in the number of engines 10L and over by nearly 8 percentage points.
