EFFICIENCY &

DEPENDABILITY
FOR A WORLD
THAT’S
ALWAYS N.
2020 X15™ EFFICIENCY SERIES
FOR TRUCK APPLICATIONS.
IT ALL STARTS WITH DEPENDABILITY.
At Cummins, dependability goes beyond engine performance or a response to a service event.
It means being able to count on us to do what we say we will do. Dependability means you don’t
have to worry. The X15 platform has over 10 million field test miles to help us deliver the most
dependable product on the market.

MORE HORSEPOWER. MORE SAVINGS.

Whether you’re hauling 80,000 pounds through the Rockies or you’re an expedited shipper
committed to delivering on a moment’s notice, you need a big-bore 15-liter engine to get the job
done – but not just any big-bore: You need the X15.

EFFICIENCY THAT IMPROVES YOUR

BOTTOM LINE.
Driving down operating costs starts with the X15 having the best fuel economy of any heavy-duty engine in
the industry. With peak torque starting at 950 rpm, base engine improvements, downspeeding and powertrain
optimization, the 2020 X15 Efficiency Series delivers UP TO 3.5% fuel economy compared to the 2017 X15.
The fact that burning less fuel means that you meet Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and 2021 fuel economy
regulations a year ahead of schedule is a bonus. From integrated powertrain technology to over-the-air engine
software updates, Cummins is delivering our total efficiency package a year ahead of the mandated schedule
– so you can start making bigger profits right away.
