In the 2000s the company developed
2793-498: The system to allow for larger injection events. In the later models of B-Series Engine, the fuel system was switched from mechanical injection and timing to mechanical injection with electronic timing. This was all thanks to Bosch's new VP44 radial distributor injection pump. The VP44 injection pump is driven at half the camshaft speed and produces an injection pressure of up to 140 MPa (20,300 lbf/in ). The most recent method of fuel injection used in Cummins B Series engines
