Progress never stops, and neither do we. Explore the latest news and thought leadership in the world of Cummins.
When Jesus interviewed at Cummins over ten years ago, one piece really stood out - the importance of family. “When I interviewed with my hiring manager, the first thing he told me was, ‘Jesus, I’m sorry. I have a commitment with my granddaughter.’ She had a dance recital that he had to attend, and I knew that family was important to him. For me, family is very important. I knew that Cummins was le
After decades of debate, last year’s COP26 Conference in Glasgow united the world in one truth: climate change is the existential crisis of our time. And we are at a critical moment in this fight; with data clearly illustrating a ceiling of 900 giga tons of CO2 to keep global warming below 2o Celsius1. Meanwhile, the transportation sector continues to be at center stage, becoming the biggest contr
No matter what season it is, adventure is calling. Unsurprisingly, outdoor adventures and activities are trending due to the pandemic. What was once seen as a luxury is now seen as a necessity, and outdoor toys like ATV’s, side-by-sides, kayaks, and boats have all increased in demand. More traditional means of recreational transportation, like RVs and towable campers, have peaked in popul
Here are five things to know about this exciting new technology approach from Cummins. 1. An industry-first approach These new fuel-agnostic engine platforms will feature a series of engine versions that are derived from a common base engine, which means they have a high degree of parts commonality. Below the head gasket of each engine will have similar components and above the head ga
Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, Ikenna Onyenze excelled in math and sciences and knew he wanted to pursue something in those fields professionally. “The United States is a leading nation in education, especially for STEM and technology, so it made logical sense for me to come here.” Ikenna enrolled in Howard University in Washington D.C. where he earned his degree in Electrical Engineering.
Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, has taken a big step forward in sustainability with a new fleet of 350 Solaris Urbino CNG buses powered by Cummins L9N engines which run on renewable biomethane gas. By the end of this year, the new buses will achieve a 70 percent renewal of the bus fleet, replacing older-generation buses with the most modern vehicles to meet passenger expectations. Operated b
Cummins provides mobility solutions that allow customers to get from point A to Point B. But as the climate crisis continues and global companies pivot to adopt more sustainable practices, how do we help customers move people and things with minimum to zero air pollutants or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? One solution is fuel cell electric vehicles. Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) use e
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of May 2020, the median wage for diesel service technicians and mechanics was $50,200, however that is just the middle of the pay scale. Some heavy-duty technicians make as much as $72,000 to $93,000 per year. When Cummins Inc. created the Cummins Advocating for Racial Equity (CARE) initiative in 2020, launching new Technical Education for Co
Cummins and Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Development Our hydrogen-fueled engine development program is one of our latest steps to advance zero-carbon technology. Customers are taking notice and so are governments. Indeed, judging by some reactions, it's almost as if Cummins has just reinvented the internal combustion engine (ICE). Of course, product development is in th
“My view is we’re out of time to protect our climate and we’re out of time to make sure that American companies are the ones that lead the world in these technologies,” Linebarger told President Biden. “When we invest, we can win, and we can create jobs for our workers here in the United States.” Corporate executives including General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Ford CEO Jim Farley and Microsoft Pre
For a long time, it looked like cars with hydrogen engines or fuel cells would one day take over the roads and the transportation sector. Hydrogen fuel cell cars release no harmful emissions of any kind, have a long range, and can be refueled in minutes. In theory they sound like a great way to decarbonize the transportation sector. In practice, hydrogen cars are facing stiff competition from plug
Regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from motor vehicles are tightening around the world. With this, both hydrogen engines and hydrogen fuel cells are receiving an increasing interest. Given medium and heavy-duty trucks are a major source of CO2 emissions, the transportation sector’s journey to destination zero features both technologies. As more truck makers join the
How can hydrogen fuel power a vehicle? Using hydrogen to power an engine or motor is more straight forward than you might think. There are two ways to do this. The first way involves a device known as a fuel cell. The fuel cell converts hydrogen to electricity, which then powers the vehicle’s electric motors, just like in any electric vehicle. The other way is hydrog
“Climate change is the existential crisis of our time, and we must work together to solve it,” Tom Linebarger, Cummins Inc. Chairman and CEO and Jennifer Rumsey, Cummins Inc.
