Cummins Power Generation Announces Price Increases for 2007

FRIDLEY, Minn.--Sept. 19, 2006--Cummins Power Generation, a division of Cummins Inc. , announces price increases for its Commercial Generator Set products between 15 and 2700 kW. Prices of EPA Tier 3 certified sets will rise by up to 10 percent while prices of EPA Tier 2 certified 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 emission levels mandated by the U.S. 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 - Commercial Generator Set Business. "With even more stringent EPA emissions regulations coming, we will continue to reinvest in our leading technology and operations to serve our customers well."
