Hydrogen might be the most abundant element in the universe, but it doesn’t exist on its own. Instead, it is produced through a number of processes that each yield different types of energy, which come with their own sets of benefits, byproducts and uses. The production method is what gives each kind of hydrogen its colorful moniker — though there is no universal naming convention, so definitions
Our battery technology will be powering public transportation in Canada! Today, Canadian bus manufacturer Letenda announced that Cummins has been selected to power their new battery electric demonstrator vehicle, the Electrip® transit bus. The Electrip® is a 30-foot, zero-emissions transit bus that is expected be unveiled in early 2022. Specifically designed for the North American region,
Fuel cells aren’t new. In fact, the first reference to hydrogen fuel cells appears in 1838 in the December issue of The London and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science. Almost 200 years later, the world is recognizing fuel cells as a key technology to unlocking a carbon-neutral future. Here is what they are, how they work and two fuel cell types that Cummins is investing in.
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) and GILLIG announced today the production of the 100th GILLIG battery-electric bus built since the two companies began partnering on the heavy-duty transit vehicle. The milestone bus will be delivered to Metro Transit in St. Louis, Missouri this month. The companies have collaborated since 2019 to bring reliable zero-emissions electric buses to communities across the count
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced it will locate its New Power China headquarters and research and development center in Shanghai, China, in the Lingang New Area, a globally competitive free trade pilot zone.

Across the globe are renowned urban quarters – cities within cities that capture the hearts of travelers with their rich history and architecture. New Orleans has the historic French Quarter, Cuba has New Havana and now Esslingen, Germany, has the world’s first largely climate-neutral urban quarter powered by Cummins electrolyzers. This urban quarter is considered a "lighthouse" project, a smal
Jim Cramer, host of the popular show, Mad Money, thinks that hydrogen just may be the cleaner, greener fuel source that the world’s been craving. He recently spoke to Tom Linebarger, Chairman and CEO of Cummins Inc., about hydrogen’s role in the path to zero emissions and Cummins’ role in expanding access to hydrogen. In the conversation, Linebarger emphasized that innovation is not new at Cumm
The green economy is ever evolving, and changing how we approach passenger transportation is part of that evolution. We have seen electric city buses and hybrid passenger vehicles gain increasing popularity, but what about railways? Passenger train manufacturers are looking to hydrogen fuel cells, and to Cummins, to provide zero-emissions power for railways all around the world. French ra
