Cummins Filtration (NYSE:CMI) announced today that they have expanded
their product line to include convenient, smaller-sized packaging
options as well as dispensing equipment for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
Previously offered in bulk, 330 gallon plastic totes, 275 gallon
disposable totes and 55 gallon plastic drums, Fleetguard DEF is now also
available in 1 gallon, 2.5 gallon and 5 gallon containers. The
dispensing equipment offered includes air and electric pumps for both
drums and totes.
In addition to expanding their DEF product line, Cummins Filtration
recently gained API certification for its DEF product. API certification
is a voluntary program established by the American Petroleum Institute
(API) to certify and monitor DEF throughout the supply chain from
manufacturing to the end customer to ensure that product meets ISO
specifications.
“Cummins has always been committed to providing high quality products
our customers can depend on,” said KC Hall, Director of Diesel Exhaust
Fluid Business Development. “Meeting the ISO specifications and adhering
to the API certification process helps to reassure our customers that
they have chosen a reliable DEF source with the consistent high quality
controls required to optimize and protect their equipment investment.”
The extended range of Fleetguard DEF products is available to the broad
Cummins Filtration network, which includes over 20,000 locations with
nearly 8,000 retailers in North America. Unique amongst other DEF
providers, this network will have the option to order DEF along with
their filter and coolant products they are receiving from Cummins
Filtration today.
“When one considers the supplier administration and transportation costs
of alternative DEF supply, we believe our freight-included DEF offering
will be an attractive alternative for many of our delivery locations,”
said Hall. “We can also offer dedicated, streamlined DEF shipments as
desired by our customers and as the DEF consumption demand grows in the
future.”
Since 2003 Cummins Filtration has supplied DEF, the urea based solution
necessary for SCR system functionality. More information about DEF
including brochures, Q&A, training modules, and more can be found on
