"Heavy-duty Truck"

From tough terrain across the United States for UPS to steep grades in Canada, Cummins’ X15N natural gas engine has spent its first year proving it can handle heavy hauls while delivering near-zero emissions at a lower fuel cost than diesel. It’s been a year since Cummins launched its X15N natural gas engine and its résumé keeps growing. With up to 500 horsepower and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque,

Fleets and owner-operators have long known that extending oil change intervals can lead to significant cost savings and environmental benefits. The challenge they have faced has been to accomplish this safely, without risking engine health or adding maintenance headaches. Cummins has made that easier than ever thanks to years of testing coupled with data-rich analytics. Cummins’ latest engine a

Cummins is set to make a commanding statement at the 2025 Brisbane Truck Show with the official display of the all-new X15D engine - a high-performance, next generation diesel engine.  Known as the PX-15 in Paccar's recently launched DAF XG cabover, the X15D is available exclusively with Euro 6 emissions compliance and introduces a new benchmark in on-highway engine performance.  "

There comes a point when technology can prove less than convenient.  The Wall Street Journal recently reported that drivers of passenger cars have grown weary of a growing number of buttons and on-screen options. They want less, not more to deal with when driving down the road.  Driver retention survey experts at WorkHound have reported the same for tractor-trailer drivers. They re

In this era of electronic engines, the big banger Cummins Inc. K19 is hardly a masterpiece of technology. Yet this was the reason some of Australia’s best known roadtrain operators preached the value of trucking’s biggest cubic capacity engine. Indeed, brute strength and simplicity of the 18.9-litre Cummins were considered its greatest assets. Steve Grahame had the greatest respect for the K

Hydrogen trucking got a big boost from the release of two new fuel tanks designed to take on some of the toughest jobs on the road. Cummins Inc. partner NPROXX recently revealed two 700 bar pressure vessels that the Dutch company announced are “set to revolutionize the transportation industry, driving the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.”   Derek Kiesler, Direct

On Feb. 6, an alliance of some of the country’s biggest names in vehicle and engine manufacturing and supply, the Heavy-duty Leadership Group, released a joint “Statement of Principles” calling on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to finalize a rule by March 31st to implement new greenhouse gas standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The Heavy-duty Leadership Group companies, which i

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

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
