Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) confirmed its commitment at Con Expo to playing a major role in the hydrogen economy as part of its Destination Zero initiative and recent launch of Accelera by Cummins, a new brand unveiled last week representing a quickening pace of bringing zero-emissions solutions to market. “Cummins has developed leading power solutions for over a hundred years, and we continue to
Today at Con Expo Con Agg, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) reaffirmed the company’s commitment to reach net-zero emissions from its products and business by 2050. This will be achieved by focusing on two key areas: Advancing internal combustion engine technology while reducing carbon emissions without impacting operations, weight, or uptime Building the broadest combination of zero-emission
A Cummins Inc.-led project to develop battery charging and hydrogen (H2) fueling stations along the Interstate 80 Midwest Corridor will accelerate with the Biden Administration’s announcement this week of the standards and funding for the National Network of Electric Vehicle Chargers. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed in 2021, invests $7.5 billion in electric vehicle (EV) charging
As we near the end of 2022, we are celebrating some of the accomplishments that made this an exciting and innovative year for New Power. In the last 12 months, we expanded our technologies, grew as a business and continued to blaze the trail toward a zero-emissions future. Join us as we reflect on five wins from our New Power business unit that helped make this year truly spectacular. We
Cummins Inc., a global power solutions and hydrogen technologies provider, and Tata Motors, the largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in India, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the design and development of low and zero-emission propulsion technology solutions for commercial vehicles in India, including hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, fuel cells, a
Many commercial fleet operators are thinking about transitioning their vehicles to hydrogen or natural gas engines. These fuels can be great ways to reduce emissions. Both fuel options present similarities and differences across a variety of areas. For example, both hydrogen and natural gas are predominantly used in their gaseous form in vehicle applications. This leads to similarities in some com
Alternative fuels are on the rise and likely to displace fossil fuels such as diesel and gasoline in the in many industrial applications. Here are a few real-life examples of successful uses of alternative fuels. Renewable diesel decarbonizing data centers Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), also known as renewable diesel, is a versatile, low carbon fuel that can often be used as a substitute
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) will soon begin building its new gigawatt electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, reaffirming the company’s commitment to expanding the green hydrogen economy in Europe and globally. Last year, Cummins announced it had selected Spain as the site of a new proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer plant. Earlier this year, the company
Vehicle greenhouse gas emissions can be accounted for on a “tank-to-wheels” basis or on a “well-to-wheels” basis. The former only considers the emissions that come out of a vehicle’s tailpipe. The latter includes the emissions that were released as a result of the production, processing and distribution of the fuel. For some alternative fuels, how they are made is more important than what happens
Diesel is the fuel of choice for a range of products including generator sets and engines used in marine, rail and construction and mining equipment, but there are alternatives. With concerns about the climate rising, businesses, shareholders and lawmakers are looking at replacement options for diesel in vehicles and power generation applications. Emission reductions across alternative fuels shoul
In the United States, medium and heavy-duty vehicles are responsible for about a quarter of all transportation greenhouse gas emissions. They’re also the cause of about a third of NOx emissions from mobile sources. It’s no wonder the commercial transportation sector is being asked to reduce emissions. Government regulations and customer demand are driving businesses to reduce emissions, as they
Hydrogen is poised to take a meaningful role in the world’s sustainable energy landscape. No sector stands to benefit more from the use of green hydrogen as an energy carrier than the commercial transportation sector. When people think about hydrogen for commercial vehicle use, they often think of fuel cells battery electric. Internal combustion engines (ICE), however, are also a viable way to pow
