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
After building its 5 millionth engine, Cummins Inc.’s Rocky Mount Engine Plant (RMEP) is continuing its long history of innovation in engine technology and manufacturing. The next stop? Building fuel-agnostic engines in their VPI Lab. What is the VPI Lab?
