“We are honored to receive this meritorious award in recognition of the outstanding work of our research and development engineers in air system technology,” said Cindy Moore, Vice President and General Manager—Air Technology Business Unit for Cummins Filtration. “Our strong commitment to green products and environmental protection drove the design of the Fleetguard® CCV system, which is EPA-verified when used with Cummins Emission Solutions Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC).

We are very proud to be recognized by the society for this product.”
The award was presented at Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, at the AFS Awards Luncheon during the organization’s 20th conference and exhibition, Moore said.
