Counterfeiting is a major problem in the turbocharger market. Cummins Turbo Technologies are committed to tackling the issue through legal action, education and publicity.
Factory Test Results: Genuine HOLSET Turbochargers vs Non-Genuine Turbochargers
Factory tests conducted summer 2008 show an increase in fuel consumption of 10 - 20% with non-genuine turbochargers. Where fuel usage averages
5 km per litre and assuming fuel costs $1 USD per litre and fuel consumption of around 40,000 per year, total fuel cost will be $40,000 per year. Using a genuine
Holset turbo saving 15% fuel would equate to a cost saving of $6,000 per year. An operator with 10 trucks using a non-genuine turbocharger could have increased annual fuel costs of $60,000 USD.
A DVD has been produced to demonstrate the hidden dangers of using counterfeit components and explains why you should use genuine Holset turbochargers.
