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
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
Cummins Electronics and Fuel Systems (CEFS) recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of its China operations with production of the 2 millionth fuel injector and 800,000th Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in its Wuhan plant. Several Cummins executives, including Rich Freeland, Cummins President and COO; Steve Chapman, Cummins Group VP, China and Russia; Cary Chenanda, General Manager o
Schedule Expert RV Maintenance Spring’s longer daylight hours and warmer weather call RV owners out to the open road. But before you succumb to the urge to start up the diesel engine and roll out on the highway, proper spring RV maintenance will ensure a smoother ride all season long. Here are 5 tips to prepare your RV for travel season: 1. Get out and inspect everything. Look for any
Testing is expected to begin soon on natural gas powered fuel cells at the Microsoft-Cummins Advanced Energy Lab in Seattle, Washington (U.S.A.). The 20-rack environment in the lab seeks to simulate datacenter conditions to allow the evaluation of new technologies, which have the potential to improve efficiency, reduce emissions and decrease the costs associated with datacenter operations. If t
IN MANY WAYS, CUMMINS ENGINES AND RELATED PRODUCTS ARE MORE COMPLEX THAN YOUR SMART PHONE. HERE'S SEVEN WAYS CUMMINS PUTS HIGH-TECHNOLOGY TO WORK FOR YOU: SUPER COMPUTERS The Clessie 2.0 supercomputer is a critical asset to the company’s engineering function, accelerating innovation, improving productivity and reducing product development time as well as costs. With approximately 1.4
Those are the words of Cummins Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger, who recently joined several top Cummins executives to share how the company is positioned to lead in current and future technologies, including its core business, electrification, alternative fuels and power solutions, as well as in digital capabilities, data and analytics. “As a global power leader for the commercial and indus
In some ways, the cave at the Cummins Technical Center (CTC) in Columbus, Indiana (USA) is aptly named. Tucked away in the basement and dark much of the time, its inhabitants seem to prefer large, dark glasses, even when the lights are dim. But some pretty high tech stuff is happening in the CAVE and at similar locations across Cummins where engineers are using virtual reality to get a on
The partnership, which also includes Peloton Technology, Peterbilt Motors Company, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Next-Generation Energy Technologies for Connected and Autonomous On-Road Vehicles program, also known as NEXTCAR. “We look forward to applying our expertise and working with the other partners,” said Ed Hodzen, Directo
Led mostly by employees with Ph.D. s, the Columbus, Indiana (U.S.A.)-based team investigated unexplained failures with the camshafts in some older engines. With equipment capable of analyzing in the realm of individual atoms, it identified something in the engine oil corroding the bronze pins that the camshaft rollers spin on – even though a base additive to counteract acid was still in place.
The gray, rectangular machine emitting a bright blue light doesn’t look particularly impressive as it quietly goes about its work at the Cummins Technical Center (CTC) in Columbus, Indiana. But some believe the technology it uses could one day change manufacturing as we know it. 3D printers can take extremely detailed instructions to make precise objects a layer at a time, with relatively li
