Cummins Releases New Generators in QuietConnect Series

New stand-by generator models, RS125 and RS150, for home and light
commercial use are released in time for winter storm season and beyond

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cummins, Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced the new RS125 and RS150 models in
the QuietConnect series, now ranging from 13 kW up to 150 kW to back up
larger homes and small businesses, including dental and medical offices,
grocery stores, gas stations and strip malls. The 125 kW and 150 kW
models will be released in the beginning of January 2018, just in time
for winter storm season.

The new generators were designed to weather everything from biting
winter storms to high-powered hurricanes. Both models are equipped to
operate under extreme environmental conditions including cold weather
starts well below 0°F and can withstand winds of up to 180 miles per
hour when equipped with the necessary accessories. The generator can
operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 122°F, providing peace of
mind to consumers worried about grid failure due to extreme heat. The
generators are ideal for powering both homes and small businesses
through prolonged power outages.

“Every year during winter storm season, hundreds of thousands –
sometimes millions – of people lose power, which, in many cases also
means heat,” said Jodie Wilson, director of marketing communications at
Cummins. “Our new generators are designed to power up seamlessly when
the power goes down, providing home and business owners with a peace of
mind that their families and businesses won’t be without lights and heat
in the winter months or air conditioning in the summer months. We’re
constantly looking for new ways to serve our customer base, expanding
our capabilities and proving to them that Cummins is the brand they can
trust with what matters most.”

The RS125 and RS150 are powered by the Cummins QSJ8.9G spark-ignited
engine, an adaptation of the rugged and reliable QSL9 diesel engine
which was engineered to power demanding commercial applications such as
construction, agriculture, and mining equipment, as well as trucks.
Gas-powered generators like these provide an advantage when diesel
supplies may be interrupted by severe weather. For homeowners and small
business owners, this means that they now have a more robust solution to
support their power needs in the case of outages.

Both models use PowerCommand®2.3 electronic control, an
industry-leading self-diagnostic system, designed to ensure service and
preventative maintenance can be completed in a short period of time.
Additionally, it allows users can put the generator into Flexible
Exercise Mode, enabling the generator to exercise at a time, frequency
and duration set by the customer, in as little as two minutes every six
months.

Patented sound technology, coupled with an advanced and aesthetically
pleasing housing design, make the QuietConnect among the quietest
generators available on the market today. The RS125 and RS150 are backed
by a 2-year limited warranty and supported by a nationwide dealer
network of over 500 dealers specializing in installing and servicing
generators for homes and small businesses, to provide additional peace
of mind to consumers.

David Richey, President for Benchmark Electric, the Cummins-authorized
dealer based in Cordova, Tenn., said, “We have had great success with
the QuietConnect and the Connect Series products, as a result of
superior design and engineering coupled with competitive pricing. The
introduction of the RS125 and 150 closes the gap in the standby market,
by providing a solution for the mid-size customer base.”

In addition to the QuietConnect models, the Connect Series also includes
PowerConnect models to give consumers more choices depending on budget
and backup power needs. To identify the correct product for your home or
