Cummins Power Generation, a division of Cummins Inc., last week announced price increases for its commercial generator set products between 15 kW and 2700 kW. The company said prices of its generator sets and transfer switches in North America will rise between 2 and 7 percent and are effective Jan. 1, 2009.

This increase is primarily the result of rising commodity and fuel prices as well as the consequence of the current industry dynamics.

Cummins Power Generation commercial generator sets are used for continuous, prime and standby power in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. These sets are also used for electrical power in non-road applications, such as temporary rental solutions. Cummins’ full range of products meet EPA regulations.

Cummins Inc., a global power leader, is a corporation of complementary business units that design, manufacture, distribute and service engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emissions solutions and electrical power generation systems. Headquartered in Columbus, Ind., Cummins serves customers in more than 160 countries through its network of 550 company-owned and independent distributor facilities and more than 5,000 dealer locations.
