COLUMBUS, Ind. — Cummins has announced that its EPA-approved, low emissions heavy-duty ISX and ISM on-highway truck engines for 2007 will be covered by its exclusive Uptime Guarantee.

For 2007, the Uptime Guarantee includes both the engine and the new aftertreatment system. If a customer’s ISX or ISM engine or aftertreatment system fails and can’t be repaired within a 24-hour period, Cummins will not only pay for the repairs, but also provide up to three days of reimbursement for a rental vehicle, so that customers can deliver their loads.

“Customers need to know that they can buy 2007 vehicles with absolute confidence that they are going to perform reliably. With over 40 billion miles of real-world testing and experience, Cummins can provide that kind of assurance,” said Jeff Jones, Cummins vice president of sales and market communications.

Cummins introduced the Uptime Guarantee back in 2002 with the launch of its first generation cooled-EGR engines as a measure of confidence in the engines’ reliability.

The Uptime Guarantee applies to all EPA-certified 2007 Cummins ISX and ISM engines through Dec. 31, 2007, with coverage good through the end of this year, and is available at all Cummins distributors and qualified dealers.
