As we enter the energy transition in the transportation industry, alternative power continues to emerge, many grounded on the technologies, designs and innovations of our existing power sources like diesel engines. Battery electric powertrains are increasingly popular, due to their zero emissions status, low upkeep costs and simplified maintenance, but not everyone is ready to switch to electric p
Cummins ReCon® products give customers the choice to replace parts with remanufactured parts or purchase ReCon engines. ReCon engines are a very sustainable choice, using up to 85 percent less energy to produce than a new engine. This article explores the considerations for remanufacturing and ways in which Cummins ReCon can help you towards your sustainability goals. Cummins' approach
As the transportation industry experiences the energy transition, customers require multiple power solutions and fuel types to customize their journey toward decarbonization in a way that meets their needs today and in the future. Biodiesel is one alternative fuel customers can integrate into their fleets for immediate impact on their carbon emissions. As of 2007, all Cummins Inc. diesel engine
In the push towards lowering emissions, the role of remanufacturing has become more important than ever. As industries strive to reduce their carbon footprint, Cummins Inc. is focused on remanufacturing for its environmental benefits and operational efficiency. This article outlines the process followed by Cummins ReCon® in the remanufacturing of parts along with the sustainability and financial b
What is the fuel delivery system? The fuel delivery system is one of the most critical components in a vehicle and is the heart of a vehicle's power generation process. The fuel delivery system serves a similar function to a fuel tank in diesel-powered vehicles. However, the fuel delivery system is specifically designed to handle gaseous fuels like hydrogen and natural gas, both of which are
As the automotive industry navigates the complexities of the energy transition, vehicle software is emerging as a key component in transforming how OEMs operate and innovate. The sophistication of vehicle software components can bring new capabilities and create a higher level of efficiency and safety. This article looks at the different facets of vehicle software’s role in the energy transition a
What is renewable natural gas? Renewable natural gas (RNG) differs from fossil fuels as it's produced from various types of waste, like used cooking oil, animal waste, sludge from wastewater, manure and other waste materials. As these biodegradable materials decompose, methane is released. This methane is captured and converted into RNG. Because methane is the primary component o
At Agritechnica, Cummins Inc. confirmed its commitment to the hydrogen economy as part of its Destination Zero strategy. “Cummins has developed leading power solutions for over a hundred years, and we continue to demonstrate our leadership in developing a broad range of sustainable drivetrains looking to the future – with hydrogen playing a key role,” said Antonio Leitao, Cummins VP Off-Highway
Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced the selection of its proposal to jointly develop a Methanol Kit for its QSK60 engine as part of the Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition, funded by the UK Government and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. To be chosen as one of the top 10 projects, Cummins delivered a proposal to collaborate with a major UK port and operators
Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is often referred to as HVO, or as renewable diesel, and is distinct from biodiesel. A major benefit of HVO is that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for traditional diesel with no engine modification. It is an ideal option to reduce the emissions of motor vehicles in a simple and cost-effective wa
Energy diversification has created the possibilities of a healthier environment, stronger communities, and robust and inclusive economies. Cleaner, more sustainable sources of energy that use fewer of the world’s resources promise a decarbonized economy — which is critical to both our future and current way of life. Across the power generation and industrial markets, including mining, ma
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
