In 2016, Cummins partnered with a European railway equipment manufacturer, to engineer, supply, and integrate the hydrogen fuel cell solution in its trains. The trains entered commercial service in 2018 and can carry up to 150 seated passengers and 150 standing passengers. There is growing interest from several European countries to use the trains for non-electrified tracks. While many alternat
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
What is it about your job that motivates you? My first motivation for what I do, which is also the reason why I applied to work for Cummins, is that I wanted to work on clean energy technology that will shape decarbonization across many different sectors.

Fuel cells have come a long way since they were first successfully demonstrated in the early 19th century by Humphry Davy. They were first heavily used for outer space missions, including the Apollo 11 flight in 1969, which not only carried the first man to the moon but also three fuel cell stacks to power all the equipment in the space module. Each decade since has seen fuel cells advance, as
