Cummins QSB3.3 Awarded ``Diesel of the Year 2007''

Cummins QSB3.3 engine has received the prestigious title of
"Diesel of the Year 2007" from a leading European publication. The
award recognizes the innovative technology which enables the 110-hp
(82 kW) rated 3.3-liter engine to offer equivalent performance to that
of larger 4.0- to 4.5-liter engines - but with a 30 percent smaller
and lighter installation package.

The QSB3.3 has also been recognized for innovation in North
America, named as one of the "Top 100 New Products of 2006" published
by Construction Equipment magazine in the December edition. This award
list brings attention to the most significant new products of the year
with the capability to enhance productivity in the construction
industry.

Introduced in April 2006 to meet EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA
emissions across the 80- to 110-hp (60 to 82 kW) power band, the
QSB3.3 is the first industrial engine of its size to incorporate
full-authority electronic controls and a High Pressure Common Rail
(HPCR) fuel system. Equipped with this advanced technology, the QSB3.3
brings premium performance characteristics previously associated with
larger engines, such as the QSB4.5 and QSB6.7, to the compact engine
sector.

"We are honored to receive these two awards by leading
publications in both Europe and North America, reflecting how the
QSB3.3 challenges conventional diesel industry thinking on compact
engine performance. The awards are a fitting accolade to the Cummins
engineers who developed this breakthrough product," commented Chris
Kete, Director of Cummins Light Construction Business.

"The innovative benefits of the engine for powering compact
equipment were expressed in a marketing theme of 'Every Rule.
Rewritten.' Now, in pilot installations, we are proving that the
engine is rewriting the rules. Our customers are telling us that the
QSB3.3 is more powerful, quieter and more sophisticated than they
considered possible for such a compact and economical engine," added
Kete.
