Cummins Inc. says it is acquiring the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) doser technology platform from Hilite International to add to the Cummins Emission Solutions diesel after-treatment product line. 

"Hilite's technology complements our internal development efforts, and the combined product portfolio will significantly enhance our overall after-treatment components growth strategy," says Srikanth Padmanabhan, vice president and general manager of Cummins Emission Solutions.

Cummins says the acquisition will enable the company to "serve all major market applications with a Cummins doser." The technology complements Cummins' emissions-compliance offerings for the U.S., Europe, China, Brazil and other regions when increasingly strict standards are being adopted. 

The deal is expected to close in the third quarter. The purchase price was not disclosed.
