"Fuel Cells"

Innovation in commercial mobility is driving sustainable transportation. As technologies like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) advance, the demand for optimized components that balance efficiency, power, cost, and durability grows. Cummins Inc. along with Accelera™ by Cummins – the zero-emissions business segment of Cummins - are at the forefront of suppl

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are at the forefront of advancing towards a more sustainable transportation industry. That is why, many manufacturers around the world are investing in both FCEVs and BEVs to develop technologies for lower emissions for commercial transportation. From fuel cells for long-range heavy-duty applications to battery electric drive

The best fuel injectors enable an engine to generate maximum power while minimizing fuel consumption and reducing pollution. Fuel injectors with the latest technology help reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions by delivering accurate fueling with optimized air mixing. This article outlines what a fuel injector is and how it works in diesel, natural gas, and hydrogen engines as well as in hydro

Alternative solutions to maximize power and reduce emissions Which energy solutions provide the ideal combination of maximum power performance that enhances efficiency while also minimizing or eliminating emissions? The right answer for a company’s power needs depends, of course, on the application, the company’s access to lower carbon options and the budget at their disposal.  There

A more sustainable world is one with lower emissions. By lowering greenhouse gases (GHGs) — like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), which contribute to climate change; and oxides of nitrogen (NOx ), which contribute to ozone depletion; and particulate matter (PM), which impacts air quality — we can improve the resiliency of our lives.  Decarbonizing with renewable energy and adopting

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) celebrated the grand opening of a new microgrid lab called the Power Integration Center (PIC) at their Power Systems facility in Fridley, Minnesota. The PIC is a state-of-the-art facility that allows for the configuration, integration, and testing of power system technologies including diesel and natural gas generator sets, photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, battery storage s

Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), a global power technology leader and Komatsu Ltd., a global provider of equipment and services for the construction and mining industries, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of zero-emissions haulage equipment. Building on a legacy of diesel engine partnership across a wide variety of mining and construction equipment, Cummi

If you’re a truck or a bus manufacturer that already has a hydrogen fuel cell program, you should consider offering a line of vehicles with a hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) as an option for your customers. Why? The reasons are simple. It is easier to swap out a diesel engine for a hydrogen engine than it is to design a vehicle around a different technology. Additionally, customers in

This week, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) will share its Destination Zero strategy for key on-highway markets at ACT Expo. This is the company’s plan to go further, faster to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) and air quality impacts of its products and reach net-zero emissions by 2050 in a way that serves all stakeholders and is sustainable for Cummins’ business. “Climate change is the existential cris

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) has opened its Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powertrain Integration Center in West Sacramento, California, signaling its commitment to scaling the green hydrogen economy in the United States. As the newest tenant in the California Fuel Cell Partnership building, Cummins will continue its work to make zero-emissions fleets a reality for customers with its PEM fuel cell technology.

Fuel cells aren’t new. In fact, the first reference to hydrogen fuel cells appears in 1838 in the December issue of The London and Edinburgh Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science. Almost 200 years later, the world is recognizing fuel cells as a key technology to unlocking a carbon-neutral future. Here is what they are, how they work and two fuel cell types that Cummins is investing in.
