“Cummins is pleased to offer the QST30 Tier 4 power module for locomotive retrofits. Our customers will benefit from increased performance and lower emissions with this comprehensive solution.

Cummins power modules for locomotives are the perfect way to upgrade your locomotive to a clean, reliable diesel. The success of a railroad depends on maximizing the life of capital-intensive equipment like locomotives. Cummins is a recognized expert in retrofitting older units with modern engines and the installation support needed to complete projects on time with minimal downtime.

The QST30 locomotive power module was designed as a simple retrofit of a modern, environmentally friendly diesel engine. The locomotive power module will use proven SCR technology to achieve Tier 4 emissions. Cummins SCR technology is an efficient solution that reduces NOx emissions and improves fuel economy with virtually no maintenance required. Cummins Rail customers prefer the company’s SCR system because, unlike exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), SCR produces much less waste heat, which reduces the load on the cooling system and power loss. It is currently being used in a number of emission reduction applications in distribution stations, ports and industrial sites. The solution will give customers the flexibility in their operations and increase the total cost of ownership that customers expect from any Cummins solution.
