ISG12
Cummins

The Cummins ISG12 is a premium heavy-duty diesel engine platform renowned for delivering an unmatched combination of power, fuel economy, durability, and lightweight design. Ranging from 11 to 12 liters in displacement, this in-line 6-cylinder engine family is engineered to redefine performance standards for modern heavy-duty commercial vehicles, providing operators with superior productivity and a lower total cost of ownership.
The ISG12 engine is the powertrain of choice for a wide spectrum of demanding heavy-duty on-road applications where performance and reliability are critical:
Heavy-Duty Trucks: Primarily used in high-performance 6x4 and 4x2 tractor units for long-haul freight, high-speed logistics, and heavy cargo transport.
Construction & Vocational Vehicles: An ideal power source for heavy-duty dump trucks, concrete mixers, and other vocational vehicles requiring robust torque and durability in tough operating conditions.
Intercity & Coach Buses: Provides reliable and powerful propulsion for large coaches and intercity buses, ensuring passenger comfort and schedule adherence on demanding routes.
Specialized Haulage: Suitable for high-GVW applications like container transport and specialized heavy haulage.
The ISG12 platform incorporates a suite of advanced technologies designed for optimal efficiency, performance, and driver experience.
1. Advanced High-Pressure Common Rail Fuel System
Utilizing a latest-generation high-pressure common rail (HPCR) system, the ISG12 achieves extremely precise fuel injection control. This results in superior combustion efficiency, which translates directly into excellent fuel economy, lower emissions, and reduced engine noise for a quieter cabin.
2. Intelligent High-Efficiency Turbocharging
The engine features an advanced turbocharger with a high-efficiency compressor and low-friction bearing system. This design provides exceptional air intake efficiency and rapid turbo response, delivering strong torque at low RPMs for better hill-climbing and acceleration, while maintaining high-power output for cruising.
3. Full-Authority Smart Electronic Controls
The integrated Cummins Electronic Control Module (ECM) is the intelligent core of the engine. It enables precise management of fuel, air, and aftertreatment systems in real-time for peak performance. The system also features advanced telematics capabilities, remote diagnostics, and over-the-air programming for optimized fleet management.
4. Lightweight, Durable Design for Maximum Uptime
Built with a compact modular design and high-strength materials, the ISG12 offers an industry-leading power-to-weight ratio, contributing directly to increased payload capacity. Its robust design, including features like a patented framework guard (Leizi framework), ensures exceptional durability and reliability, supported by extended maintenance intervals to maximize vehicle availability.
The table below outlines the core range and capabilities of the ISG12 engine family. Specific power and torque figures vary by exact model (e.g., ISG12-430, ISG12-480).
