THE TRANSITION TO GLOBAL EMISSION REDUCTION There is a global effort to reduce emissions through the development and implementation of alternative fuels; technologies that deliver lower emissions and reduce environmental impact and through the adoption of more sustainable manufacturing and supply chain practices. This article dives into efforts that involve not just the manufacturing and develo

The engine control module (ECM) is a critical component in the fuel delivery system in diesel, natural gas and hydrogen vehicles. This article looks at the role of ECMs in the fuel delivery systems across various fuel technologies like diesel, natural gas and hydrogen. As we examine modern fuel systems and fuel delivery systems, we will see how ECMs work with fuel delivery systems to keep vehicles

The commercial transportation industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the global push to reduce emissions. In parallel, our customers and fleet operators are trying to achieve more sustainable operations through improved fuel economy and efficient performance. As fuel technologies evolve, it is crucial to understand how Electronic Control Units (ECUs) will evolve to support

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCVs) are vital to the transportation industry's move toward more sustainable operations. Both are low emission vehicles that run on electric power. Battery Electric Vehicles operate using energy stored in batteries, while Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles are powered by a fuel cell that creates electricity using hydrogen as a fuel, with

The fuel system is a critical part of any engine, playing a pivotal role in powering vehicles efficiently and effectively. As fuel technologies evolve, a better understanding of the fuel system enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to meet their emission goals, optimize vehicle performance, ensure safety and comply with regulations.  The fuel system is part of the powertrain and

Cummins Turbo Technologies’ big step towards reducing emissions CEC (Cummins Engine Components) launched its first e-compressor for fuel cell engine in Wuxi, China on Feb 1, 2024. This is a new milestone for Cummins Turbo Technologies and a big step forward in Cummins Inc.'s Destination Zero strategy for reducing carbon and other emissions. Destination Zero is Cummins’ strategy to go further, f

What are virtual sensors and how are they different from traditional sensors?  Virtual sensors are an emerging software-based technology that can make a big difference in how we monitor and manage engines and vehicle performance. Unlike traditional sensors, which are physical pieces of hardware that need to be installed in specific places within the engine to work, virtual sensors work by

Circular life cycle planning is gaining traction as an alternative to traditional manufacturing practices. By comparing the principles of circular and linear life cycles, we can understand their implications for businesses and the environment. This article discusses the importance of circular life cycle planning, its advantages and its adoption by Cummins Inc. Let's explore the benefits and practi
