The Cummins Light Duty Efficient Clean Combustion (LDECC) program was established in 2007 in support of the Department of Energys Vehicles Technologies Advanced Combustion and Emissions Control initiative to remove critical barriers to the commercialization of advanced, high efficiency, emissions compliant internal combustion (IC) engines for light duty vehicles (passenger cars, minivans, SUVs, and pickup trucks). Elimination of the technical barriers would enable light duty vehicles with dramatically higher fuel efficiency than current light duty vehicles powered by gasoline engines. In addition, the Cummins LDECC program supported one of the FreedomCAR and Fuels goals to enable low emissions, energy efficient vehicles to operate on clean hydrocarbon based fuels powered by IC engine powertrains. Achieving this goal would promote more fuel efficient use of petroleum based fuels, and concurrently, reduce the CO2 greenhouse gases.
