Cummins has announced that all of its high-horsepower industrial engines are approved for use with unblended parafinnic fuels (EN15940). Renewable diesels such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO, aka “biodiesel”) included. The approval applies to all high-HP engines for all applications, including 19L-95L series, V903 series, and ACE models.
This includes all industrial engines currently in the field in those series are included and can be run on 100 percent biodiesel or mixes with traditional petroleum-based diesel. With no modifications required. Renewable diesels used must meet EN15940 standards (European/CEN standards).
