This marks the first time that leading fleet professionals from across North America will see a fully-integrated Cummins powertrain: engine, transmission, axle
Cummins Inc. is excited to introduce two new natural gas generators, the C175N6B and C200N6B, to our customers. These additions use the same QSJ8.9G engine platform as the C125N6 and C150N6 natural gas generators which are popular among various industrial applications. In North America, the market for natural gas generators has been increasing over the past few years. Environmental concerns
Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announces the addition of 175kW and 200kW natural gas standby generator sets now ready to order for North American customers. These two new generator sets are a part of Cummins continual investment in new and sustainable technologies as part of Destination Zero, the company’s strategy to reach zero emissions across its products. “The new 175kW and 200kW natural g
Natural gas powers more than 175,000 vehicles in the United States and 23 million vehicles worldwide. It’s an ideal alternative to gasoline and diesel for heavy and medium-duty applications. These include freight-hauling trucks, buses, and garbage trucks. Natural gas engines provide horsepower, acceleration, and cruise speed comparable to conventional fossil fuel engines. This fuel can also replac
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) will show its new fuel-agnostic 15-liter engine platform with hydrogen, biogas and advanced diesel engines at Con Expo, (Stand S84615, south hall upper). It offers OEMs the opportunity to accelerate the decarbonization of heavy-duty off-highway applications. This new platform, designed for the next level of emissions, has a significant increase in power densi
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
For the past hundred years or so, the world has run on oil. Petroleum fuels such as gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and kerosene have powered automobiles, trucks, ships, and airplanes with little competition from alternative fuels. This is rapidly changing, thanks to a host of new fuels. Here are the main ones and their respective states of adoption. Renewable diesel demand is on the rise Hydrotr
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
You may have been reading about alternative fuels on this blog—or elsewhere. We know it can be confusing. So here is a handy glossary to help you remember the difference between diesel, renewable diesel, biodiesel, and other fuels. Ammonia in your decarbonization journey Ammonia is a chemical used industrially on a large scale as a precursor to a variety of nitrogen-containing substanc
The first phases of greenhouse gas regulations for commercial vehicles focused on tailpipe emissions, and this perspective brought the industry many efficiency improvements. With the advent of low to zero carbon fuels and new power sources, differences in GHG emissions are becoming more difficult to assess. One example is battery electric powertrains which get their energy from charging via the el
