Switching to natural gas vehicles (NGVs) can be a great way for commercial vehicle fleets to save money. With lower fuel expenses and reduced maintenance costs on after-treatment systems, natural gas is an attractive and economical fuel choice for many applications. With over 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing natural gas engines for truck and bus applications, Cummins is the perfe
After building its 5 millionth engine, Cummins Inc.’s Rocky Mount Engine Plant (RMEP) is continuing its long history of innovation in engine technology and manufacturing. The next stop? Building fuel-agnostic engines in their VPI Lab. What is the VPI Lab? VPI, or value package introduction, is Cummins’ process for commercializing technology for market through the definition, design, de
Cummins Inc. has released a new predictive model for the X15 heavy-duty engine, allowing owners to be alerted when a diesel particulate filter (DPF) differential pressure (DP) sensor is likely to fail. Customers will be given a Predictive Service Insight up to 90 days ahead of the potential failure of their DPF DP sensor and allows them to proactively schedule a replacement, avoiding unne
As part of our daily lives, we expect all connected devices to automatically update themselves. It gives us peace of mind that our computers and phones are protected against the latest cyber threats and bugs, receiving improved functionality and performance. Cummins Inc. products are no different, with over-the-air (OTA) updates* available for your engine today. Modern powertrains are complicat
Remote diagnostics and prognostics monitor and diagnose the condition of an engine in real time using data sent from the asset’s sensors and control modules. This data can be analyzed to identify faults and predict when future faults are likely to occur. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) was first used in the Royal Air Force in the previous century. The idea was to plan maintenance according to
In today's world, technology has revolutionized most aspects of our lives, and the transportation industry is no exception. The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about a major shift in the transportation industry, with data and analytics being the driving forces behind it. One such technological advancement is the remote monitoring of trucks and other commercial vehicles, enabled by smart engin
Commercial fleets are increasingly moving toward alternative fuels to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable natural gas (RNG) has enormous potential to help the transportation industry come closer to carbon neutrality. So, how do landfills play a role in this decarbonization journey? Turning Landfill Waste into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) How is it possible to o
Believe it or not, landfills have a key role to play in the transition to renewable energy. Landfills are no longer just disposal points, but rather, they can be the starting points for new energy sources. This article will take a deeper look into how landfill waste is turned into renewable natural gas, and how landfills are becoming valuable energy resources. Why and how do landfills play a ro
Like every invention, Cummins Inc. engines undergo rigorous testing to determine the viability of a new component, design or technology. With test cells installed in 2015, Seymour Engine Plant’s engine research and development capability and capacity significantly increased. Now, the plant’s sustainability leaders are on a mission to reduce test cell’s fuel emissions. Celebrating the expansion
Companies working to achieve their decarbonization goals are increasingly interested in hydrogen engines. Over the past year, leading companies like Tata Motors, Buhler Industries and Werner Enterprises have expressed interest in Cummins 15-liter hydrogen engine. More leading companies can take advantage of hydrogen-powered solutions to decarbonize as these technologies become more cost-friendly a
