Large cargo ships traverse the oceans of the world, carrying raw materials and finished goods between ports. Built for speed on the open ocean, these massive ships can take up to five miles to stop. Once these mammoth vessels arrive in port, they need help to maneuver in tight quarters, which is where ship-docking tugs go to work. 2018 saw maritime trade at an all-time high, with volumes reachi

A new Exhaust Throttle Valve (ETV) for aftertreatment thermal management and exhaust braking has been developed by Cummins Turbo Technologies (CTT). ETV helps engine manufacturers meet stringent emission requirements. "With more than 60 years of experience in engine air handling innovation, CTT is uniquely positioned to integrate ETV with engine systems that provide customers with a complete sy

Early in her life, Shalini was encouraged to pursue engineering. During an internship with a mechanical company in India, she realized mechanical engineering was the career for her. Shalini pursued engineering at Wichita State University (U.S.) where she received a master’s degree in mechanical engineering.  Finding Her Way to Cummins  Shalini had worked at multiple companies befor

In its first two years, a Cummins initiative advancing gender equality around the world has impacted more than 100,000 people and resulted in eight laws or policies promoting gender equality.  Cummins Powers Women is an $11 million (and growing) global grant commitment to engineer solutions to gender inequality. The investment supports a range of effective programs, including grassroots te

China residents must wear respiratory masks when in public as the first line of defense to the spread of the novel coronavirus. More than 90,000 people in over 65 countries have been infected by the virus, and more than 3,000 have died. “A lot of colleagues across the world have provided great support in helping us source masks and relentlessly driving to the final resolution of this urgent req

Strengthening its product catalogue, CTT has revitalized the HE600 platform by delivering significant improvements on performance and durability. By combining years of engineering experience in turbine wheel and impeller design, overall turbocharger efficiency has increased more than four percent while offering a product that is more robust. "We have used advanced aerodynamic techniques to desi

This year, Cummins celebrates 100 years in Power Generation. It all started with the incorporation of Onan Corporation in 1920 – a family owned business founded by David W. Onan.

It started with one business idea and one visiona

Here are 4 ways you can put your tax refund to work for you: Pay Off a Small Debt Put your tax refund toward paying off a high-interest credit card. Start with the credit card that has the highest interest rate. Doing so will save you much more money in the long run. If you have already paid off your credit card debt, think about making an extra payment on your school loans, car payment or m

In this fourth preview blog, we look at how policy and regulations regarding commercial EVs must be carefully developed in collaboration with industries and institutions. Sustainability, after all, is not an issue limited to any one sector, and only by drawing on the insight of experts in the technology, infrastructure, and economics of EVs, as well as end-users and other policymakers, will succes

At present, EVs are often more expensive than their conventionally-powered equivalents. One reason for this is inherent material costs, with battery manufacture requiring large quantities of lithium. Yet, as processes are refined, efficiencies are found, and scale increases, the manufacturing costs of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are expected to reduce – and the reduction of this cost will be a

Much of the infrastructure required to practically use an electrified vehicle (EV) is already in place: roads, traffic lights, car parks and systems of vehicle registration are all agnostic as to how the vehicles they accommodate are powered.  The way energy is delivered to vehicles, however, must change in tandem with the move to EVs, replacing the well-developed network of oil-based fuel

The world’s power needs are changing. By the end of the 21st Century, we will not have the same reliance on fossil fuels. A growing number of fleets are looking to diversify how they power mobility and heavy industry. Battery electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming viable across a broad range of applications, and the potential to transform commercial fleets is clear. What’s less understood is how
