just providing the most efficient engine that meets 2021 greenhouse gas standards. It’s also about
providing an engine that works for you. With a focus on uptime, total cost of ownership and ease of
operations, the X15 lineup for 2021 is the best Cummins 15-liter yet. Starting with the most reliable
15-liter ever produced, to offering EX ratings for enhanced driver performance, the X15 gives you the
confidence needed to improve your business without sacrificing anything.

SPEND LESS. GO FURTHER.

Cummins X15 engines have some of the longest maintenance intervals in the transportation industry.

EFFICIENCY SERIES
THE POWER TO SAVE.
If you want the power to save on your bottom line, then
meet the Cummins X15 Efficiency Series – with up to a
3.5% fuel economy improvement over the 2017 model
with base engine and powertrain optimization, and up
to an additional 1.5% fuel economy improvement when
selecting an EX rating package. EX ratings combine the
X15 Efficiency Series that you’ve come to trust with the
Endurant HD transmission and GPS data to deliver a fully
optimized powertrain package. On top of the power to save, the
Efficiency Series delivers excellent drivability and uptime that you can
take straight to the bank.

THE POWER OF EX FEATURES.*

On-Ramp Boost: This Cummins-exclusive feature momentarily disables fuel-saving
features and augments the shift calibration to deliver greater acceleration when you
need it most.

Predictive Gear Shifting: Leverages GPS data to downshift before the hill to
maintain uphill speed.

Predictive Engine Braking: Looks at the grade ahead and can engage engine
brakes early to aid in maintaining the desired maximum speed.

Dynamic Power: Adjusts torque in order to make lighter vehicles operate similarly
to heavier vehicles on grades. This provides fuel savings on lightly loaded vehicles by
delivering consistent performance across varying loads.
*EX features require Endurant HD and GPS data. Availability of specific features varies by OEM.

THE POWER TO DELIVER.
WORK GLOVES. HARD HAT.
STEEL-TOED BOOTS.
X15 Productivity Series ratings are designed, built and optimized for vocational,
specialty, multi-purpose and heavy-haul applications. Whether you’re
transporting raw materials in a quad-axle dump, moving 130,000 GVW down
the interstate or need reliability in emergency applications, Cummins delivers
the power you need – with torque to match.

Components have been carefully selected to match output characteristics

and load demands. Ratings from 430-500 horsepower share proven
hardware from the X15 Efficiency Series, while ratings from 565-605 hp utilize
higher-capacity hardware from the X15 Performance Series.

Front-end PTO capability is another feature of the Productivity Series that makes these
ratings the ideal choice for applications that require unique power demands.

With available ratings of up to 605 hp and 2050 lb-ft of peak toque, the X15 Productivity Series has
the highest power output of any on-highway engine in North America, with a longer power curve
than any engine in its class – making it the best choice for heavy-haul applications where having
massive pulling power is the most mission-critical factor.

THE POWER TO PERFORM.
What does it mean to have the power to perform? It means that your drivers brag about how
powerful the engine under their hood is. We listened to customers who said they needed to
pull heavy loads over mountainous terrain and we built the X15 Performance Series to deliver
on that while not sacrificing uptime.

With ratings ranging from 525-565 hp with 1850-2050 lb-ft of torque available at 1000 rpm,
the Performance Series ratings are optimized for premium and heavy long-haul customers.

The X15 Performance Series delivers more than just power and drivability. Rugged durability
is ensured by the use of proven hardware while continuous improvements have resulted in
reliability that provides peace of mind for trucking operations. Demand nothing less than
the power to perform.
