ISM385-30
Cummins

The Cummins ISM385-30 is a premium 10.8-liter heavy-duty diesel engine engineered to deliver an exceptional balance of high power output, superior fuel economy, and legendary durability for the most demanding commercial applications. Designed as a cornerstone of the renowned ISM series, it offers operators a reliable and efficient powertrain solution built to maximize uptime and minimize total cost of ownership over its long service life.
The ISM385-30 is a versatile power source engineered for a wide range of heavy-duty vehicles, demonstrating particular strength in key growth markets.
Heavy-Duty Trucks & Tractors: The prime choice for Dongfeng trucks and other heavy-duty vehicle platforms, providing reliable power for freight, logistics, and construction haulage.
Construction & Vocational Vehicles: Its high reliability and torque make it ideal for concrete mixer trucks and heavy-duty dump trucks, where engine performance directly impacts job site productivity.
Buses & Coaches: A proven and robust powertrain for heavy-duty buses and coaches requiring dependable performance for passenger transport.
1. Advanced High-Pressure Fuel System & Combustion
At its core, the ISM385-30 features an Electronically Controlled High-Pressure Common Rail fuel system, enabling extremely precise fuel injection timing and metering. Combined with optimized injector tips and a specially designed steel piston bowl, this technology achieves highly efficient combustion. The result is a significant reduction in fuel consumption—with reported savings of 12%-18% in mixer truck applications compared to older engines—alongside lower emissions and reduced engine noise.
2. Robust Durability Engineering
Built for longevity in tough operating conditions, the engine incorporates heavy-duty components designed for extended life. Key features include articulated pistons with a forged steel crown for exceptional strength and a hardened cast iron camshaft for improved wear resistance. This robust construction is validated in severe environments, such as mining, where ISM engines have demonstrated outstanding reliability.
3. Intelligent Electronic Integration & Protection
The engine is managed by a sophisticated Full Electronic Control System. It seamlessly integrates with other vehicle systems like electronic transmissions and ABS brakes via industry-standard datalinks. A network of sensors continuously monitors engine conditions, allowing the Electronic Control Module (ECM) to perform real-time self-diagnosis and provide proactive protection against potential operational issues.
