Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

Cummins is preparing to deliver a package in the form of the 100th battery electric transit bus in collaboration with GILLIG. This exciting delivery is in route to Metro Transit in St. Louis, Missouri. “This is a great milestone for Cummins, GILLIG and Metro Transit, but we are just getting started,” said Amy Davis, Vice President and President of New Power at Cummins. “The adoption of zero-emi

This originally appears in the October, 6 2021 article of the American Sugar Alliance. The original article can be viewed here.  What if you could build a diesel engine equivalent to the strength of 600 horses that produced almost no emissions? It might seem like a futuristic dream, but it’s already been made possible thanks in part to the hard work of one sugarbeet farmer. RaNae Isaak,

Cummins recognized this risk very early on with a campaign called, “It’s OK Mental Health and Wellness,” designed to promote mental wellness among its employees worldwide. This October, Cummins celebrates World Mental Health Day and the growing awareness of why mental wellness matters. The ’It’s OK’ campaign launched in April of 2020 in response to the pandemic, as a way to communicate to 

The Cummins HyLYZER in Bécancour, Quebec, Canada, is the largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer in operation in the world. A new video case study highlights the installation’s ground-breaking green hydrogen production capabilities, making it a beacon for a zero-carbon future. Watch below:  Commissioned in January and installed at the Air Liquide hydrogen production faci

Utility grids and microgrids have a lot in common. Both serve the same function—to provide electrical power to consumers. Both are subject to the same constraints—ensuring that electrical generation and electric load are equal at all times. Their components, however, are different.  Microgrids are at a much smaller scale than utility grids and as a result include components that are accord

The stone age did not end because the world ran out of stones, and the oil age will not end because we run out of oil1. Instead the oil age will end as we (communities, companies, and governments) speed up the energy transition towards our final destination: 100% renewable energy.  In this energy transition journey there are giant steps we all celebrate, such as the increased use of green

The Frost & Sullivan Institute’s Enlightened Leadership Award Best Practices Recognition honors companies adopting business practices to “innovate to zero,” addressing global priorities like climate change while securing sustainable growth. The institute has honored more than 30 companies and counting with the recognition in 2021, including DuPont, FedEx, the Ford Motor Co. and IBM. “Fro

"When the destination is clear, there's no point in delaying the arrival." That is the philosophy that drove Meritor to be the first heavy duty brake manufacturer to meet the Better Brakes Law 2025 standard for copper content in brake pads. In 2010, the States of California and Washington enacted legislation that will require brake pads sold or installed in both states to have reduced levels of

With the market for electric vehicles (EVs) rapidly growing as customers rush to meet global targets for lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality, the increasing number of EVs pose a waste-management challenge. These lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries offer a zero-emissions transportation solution, but they don’t last forever. So, what happens to them once they’ve reached the end of

Microgrids are not fundamentally different from wide-area grids. They support smaller loads, serve fewer consumers, and are deployed over smaller areas. But microgrids and wide-area grids have the same job within the power generation eco-system, distributing electricity, and the same constraints, perfectly matching generation and load at all times.  Microgrids existed before anybody used t

A microgrid is a small electricity grid where electricity is produced, distributed and consumed. Microgrids can be independent from the main grid or connected to it. They can be large enough to serve an entire island, but small scale microgrids serving a single campus or industrial facility also exist. Three factors have made microgrids an increasingly popular option within the power generation

Microgrids are small-scale electricity networks. They are power systems which both generate and distribute electricity. Some microgrids are connected to the main electricity grid; others are not connected by choice or because there is no main electricity grid to connect to.  Modern wide-area electricity grids are vast interconnected systems consisting of millions of electricity consumers a

Take us through your career journey up to this point. My first job was as a Quality Technician at Hydrogenics in 2013. In 2019, Hydrogenics was acquired by Cummins as part of the New Power business. It feels like I've been with Cummins my entire career. To me, Cummins is more like a family than a workplace. From day one, the managers were helpful and believed in my strengths which motivated and

Across the globe are renowned urban quarters – cities within cities that capture the hearts of travelers with their rich history and architecture. New Orleans has the historic French Quarter, Cuba has New Havana and now Esslingen, Germany, has the world’s first largely climate-neutral urban quarter powered by Cummins electrolyzers. This urban quarter is considered a "lighthouse" project, a smal

September 12 – 18 is designated as National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. The trucking industry and its workers are critical to the U.S. economy. Nearly 8 million people are employed in trucking-related careers, including 3.6 million professional drivers. Most goods consumed in the U.S. are put on a truck at some point. In fact, the trucking industry hauled 72.5% of all freight transported in th

In the commercial vehicle and industrial markets, Meritor is best known as a leading global supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking, aftermarket and electric powertrain solutions with more than a 110-year legacy of providing innovative products that offer superior performance, efficiency and reliability. But what is less commonly known is that Meritor not only serves the truck market, but trai

On June 15, 2019, Cummins celebrated its historic centennial birthday with the grand reopening of the company's Corporate Office Building (COB) in its global headquarters of Columbus, Ind. A small town with big city recognition, the city is ranked sixth in the United States for architecture design by The American Institute of Architects (AIA).  Read: "Our newly renovated COB takes a short
