Cummins Power Generation Announces Price Increase

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Cummins Power Generation, a division of Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), announces price increases for its commercial generator set products between 15 kW and 2700 kW. Prices of EPA Tier 3-certified generator sets will rise by up to 10 percent while prices of EPA Tier 2-certified generator sets will rise by up to 7 percent.

Prices have been raised in part due to market conditions and the rising cost of raw materials. The higher prices also reflect the advanced technology used to achieve the lower emissions levels mandated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take effect on January 1, 2007. Cummins has been recognized as a leader in emissions technology by industry groups.

"These adjustments are part of Cummins’ strategic response to market conditions," said Tony Satterthwaite, Vice President of the Commercial Generator Set Business at Cummins. “With even more stringent EPA emissions regulations coming, we will continue to reinvest in our leading technology and operations to serve our customers well.”

Cummins Power Generation commercial generator sets are used for continuous, prime and standby power in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. These sets are also used for electrical power in nonroad applications, such as temporary rental solutions. Cummins offers a full range of products that meet EPA regulations.
