Accelera™ by Cummins, the zero-emissions business segment of Cummins Inc. [NYSE: CMI], is partnering with Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH, a leading European hydrogen specialist, to deploy a 5-megawatt (MW) proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer system at the Port of Schweinfurt in Bavaria, Germany. Powered by renewable solar and wind energy, the system will generate up to 2.2 tons of green hydrogen dai
Accelera™ by Cummins, the zero-emissions business segment of Cummins Inc. [NYSE: CMI], has supplied a 35-megawatt (MW) proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer system, its largest to date, to support hydrogen production at Linde’s facility in Niagara Falls, New York. Powered by renewable hydroelectric energy, the system will generate green hydrogen to help decarbonize industrial operations and
While hydrogen engines have gotten substantial support abroad for slashing emissions, including nitric oxide (NOx), there remains potential for progress for the clean technology’s acceptance in the U.S. A new collaboration of leaders in a variety of sectors has set out to change that. Cummins has become one of the founding members of the Hydrogen Engine Alliance of North America (H2EA-NA)
Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), and key technology partners have celebrated the completion of a joint project to develop hydrogen internal combustion engine technology for commercial vehicles. Cummins led a consortium of technology companies; Johnson Matthey, PHINIA and Zircotec in ‘Project Brunel’, to successfully deliver a 6.7-litre hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2-ICE) for medium-dut
Four-stroke Hydrogen combustion engines (H2ICE) operate on the same principles as traditional engines but are more powerful and efficient. They share components like engine blocks, cranks, and ignition systems with natural gas engines and seamlessly fit into existing designs. This article delves into the role of turbochargers in enhancing the performance and viability of hydrogen engines, showcasi
On Nov. 1, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) launched Project Unity, a collaborative effort with Holtex and the University of Manchester to develop an advanced digital tool aimed at improving the design and durability of components used in hydrogen-fuelled powertrains. Project Unity employs machine learning-driven digital tools to accelerate speed to market by predicting long-term failure modes in criti
Speaking as part of a Hydrogen Engine Alliance / Allianz Wasserstoffmotor event, several high profile organisations, including Cummins, MAN, Bosch, DSLV Federal Association for Freight Forwarding & Logistics and the European Commission, provided commentary on the technology’s role in global decarbonisation and its ability to progress carbon reductions practically, at a lower upfront cost than
Knowing the fuel used for hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE) is just as important as knowing the powertrains themselves. Fuel can impact not only performance but also a fleet’s green profile. Several terms are used to identify hydrogen and for various reasons. Different agencies, industries and entities involved in the use and production of hydroge
As the transportation industry shifts towards sustainable operations, a strong, reliable and extensive service network is essential for keeping vehicles on the road and fleets operating at peak performance. Service networks help fleets stay on the road faster and increase uptime (amount of time that a vehicle is available and operational for use) while also integrating advanced telematics and pred
Roughly three years ago there was not much talk about hydrogen engines according to Jim Nebergall, Executive Director – Market Strategy, Cummins Inc. “When I started, nobody knew what this was,” said Nebergall who also serves as Cummins’ general manager of hydrogen engines. “We decided this is important enough for Cummins to focus on.” The Biden administration, the European Union and t
In today's market, remanufacturing of engine parts is gaining traction as an eco-friendly and economically viable option. Remanufacturing extends the lifecycle of an engine, ensuring both environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness. This article looks at how Cummins Inc. uses remanufacturing for its ReCon® remanufactured parts and engines. What is remanufacturing? ReCon parts
What is the fuel delivery system? The fuel delivery system is one of the most critical components in a vehicle and is the heart of a vehicle's power generation process. The fuel delivery system serves a similar function to a fuel tank in diesel-powered vehicles. However, the fuel delivery system is specifically designed to handle gaseous fuels like hydrogen and natural gas, both of which are
