Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

Discussion topics ranged from climate change to environmental justice as well as the state of PLANET 2050, the company’s environmental sustainability strategy, and Destination Zero, Cummins’ newest initiative to guide its decarbonization journey. “It is very exciting to see how Cummins has embraced our PLANET 2050 goals and announced important efforts so we can do our part to preserve clean air

Three months. That’s how little time Macy and Sherry Summers had between the installation of their new Cummins QuietConnect™ home standby generator and its first major test: the arrival of Hurricane Sally. The Category-2 hurricane stalled over the Pensacola, Fla. area for nearly 12 hours in September 2020, bringing 110-mph winds, torrential rain and major power outages. While many of their neig

The response from Cummins on a corporate and individual level – especially in those countries bordering Ukraine – has been swift and impactful, demonstrating how Cummins lives its corporate values. Caring is one of those core values, and there has been an abundance of it in Poland and Romania, two countries on the frontline of the humanitarian crisis. Poland has seen an influx of more than t

International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) is celebrated on June 23 every year to honor the exceptional achievements of women engineers worldwide. The theme for 2022 celebrates inventors and innovators. In honor of INWED, we spoke to Magdolin Mikhail, Cummins Business Manager for New Power Business - Hydrogen Technology, to hear about her journey as a woman in engineering, a usually male dom

On June 23rd, Cummins Inc. (CMI) is proud to recognize International Women in Engineering Day (INWED). In support of the day, the company hopes to raise the profile of women engineers and encourage more people to consider engineering as a profession for all.  This year’s theme, “Inventors and Innovators” profiles some of the best, brightest and bravest women in engineering. The inventors a

Born in the UK, Rohan started his Cummins career in the US. “I was first introduced to Cummins in 2017 at a National Association of Black Accountants recruiting event in New Orleans. I actually went somewhere else for my internship and after I graduated, I was looking for another role when I came across Cummins again.” Rohan’s introduction to Cummins at this event stuck with him and when they cros

If you manage a fleet of commercial vehicles, you have probably read or heard about hydrogen engines and hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells have come a long way over the years, and they have a bright future. Hydrogen engines and hydrogen fuel cells each have their roles in decarbonizing the commercial transportation sector today and the decades ahead. When it comes to hydrogen engines, there are othe

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) has launched a new 1MW twinpack rental generator, the C1000D6RE, which offers a competitive rental power solution for a diverse range of applications throughout North America. Manufactured by Cummins, a company that has been synonymous with technology, reliability and service since 1919, the new C1000D6RE model will be built in Fridley, Minnesota. As a twinpack, th

If you’re a truck or a bus manufacturer that already has a hydrogen fuel cell program, you should consider offering a line of vehicles with a hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) as an option for your customers. Why? The reasons are simple. It is easier to swap out a diesel engine for a hydrogen engine than it is to design a vehicle around a different technology. Additionally, customers in

The environment is facing an existential crisis and we need to act now by cutting emissions to address poor air quality and stop climate change. Policy makers, industry, academia, and thought leaders must work together to neutralise those threats. The upcoming Euro 7/VII regulation proposal, if ambitious, has the potential to make a significant difference.  The EU is a trail blazer in clim

Compared to traditional diesel engines, natural gas engines have several advantages. A few of the benefits of natural gas engines are that they cause less air pollution, are quieter and run on fuel that is cheaper and less volatile than diesel. On the other hand, operating natural gas vehicles requires a deliberate fuel strategy because there are few compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations i

Natural gas engines can be a great option for commercial vehicles. They’re quieter than diesel engines, they reduce air pollution, and they can help fleets save a lot of money on operating costs, especially when it comes to fuel. So why don’t more fleets switch to natural gas engines?   Compressed Natural Gas, or CNG engines are a great option for a wide range of fleets and commercial vehi

Natural gas has been taking an increasingly central role in our energy supply over the past decades. In developed countries, the use of other fossil resources has stagnated or declined. In 2020, oil consumption in Organized for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries is essentially what it was in 1995, and coal use has declined by almost half. In contrast, the consumption of natural

Located in Virginia, The Sweet Xscape, formally known as Envy’s Whadder Ice, started in 2020 when the pandemic began. Owner and sole proprietor Tierra Mclaurin shared: “I’ve always wanted to get into the Italian Ice business, and this was the perfect time to start since we were on lockdown.”   McLaurin started small with selling Whadder Ice out of her car with coolers. Once the city starte

This article was authored by A&A Genpro, Inc., a Cummins Authorized Dealer Selecting the right size Cummins QuietConnect™ standby generator is important. Choose too small of a generator, and you won’t be able to power all your home’s circuits. Choose too large of a generator, and it’ll be inefficient, consuming more natural gas or propane than necessary during a power outage. How do you

It can be difficult to grasp the role natural gas engines play when it comes to reducing transportation emissions and making the trucking industry more sustainable. Natural gas is a fossil fuel, just like diesel and gasoline, so there are some misconceptions about the environmental benefits it can provide, particularly when compared to emerging alternative powertrain options like hydrogen fuel cel

Compared to diesel and gasoline vehicles, natural gas engine vehicles pollute less, have a smaller carbon footprint, and use a fuel that doesn’t present any risk of soil or water contamination. Surely, these environmental benefits of natural gas engines must come at a cost premium, right? For many applications, the opposite is true. Switching to natural gas vehicles offers fleet operators long-
