The
Cummins ISL is a straight-6
diesel engine designed and produced by
Cummins. It is 8.9 liters in displacement, and went into production in
1998. The engine was based on its 8.3 liter predecessor, the Cummins C8.3 engine.
By late 2003, Cummins announced that they will revise the engine to sport a
Common rail (HPCR) system to help with emissions and also a
variable geometry turbocharger system to help with the performance on this engine.
The Cummins ISL also has a sister engine which is based on the existing ISL 8.9-liter block which runs on
compressed natural gas. Cummins reintroduced this engine as the
L Plus engine which has a power rating of 330
horsepower (246 kW), and it is for 60-foot (18 m)
articulated bus. A few thousand units of this engine are now operating in a wide variety of applications.
Applications
- Bus
- Motor coach
- Motor home
- Fire truck

ISL vs. L10
The ISL is not to be confused with the older L10 series, which Cummins had produced and sold from 1982 to early
1998. The old L10 series, which like the current ISL, had seen use in the applications listed above (plus, early Dennis Specialist Vehicles double decker buses), displaced 10.0 liters, was slightly larger, and had been replaced by the Cummins M Series engine entirely in 1994, although the
natural gas version, known as the
L10G, had hung on until the spring of 1998.
