Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

A team of 20 ambitious students of various disciplinary backgrounds came together to form the TU Delft Solar Team 2021 and enter uncharted waters with Hydro Motion, a boat that not only sails, but flies on hydrogen. After 15 years of building boats successfully powered by sunlight, the 2021 team decided it was time to swap solar panels for a fuel cell to take the next step towards a more sustainab

While battery electric vehicles get a lot of press in driving a zero-emissions future, fuel cell vehicles are proving to be a strong part of the mix required to electrify transportation at a mass scale worldwide. This is especially true in markets that require long-range and demanding duty cycles with minimum downtime, like trains, buses and trucks. At just a fraction of a battery’s weight, hydrog
Cummins has expanded their Tier 4 Final solutions for the oil and gas market while reaffirming a commitment to sustainable environmental practices through the release of four new drilling power module (DPM) ratings. Decreasing emissions, increasing uptime Adhering to stringent measures introduced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Cummins has introduced four QSK50
In this article, the focus is another important aspect of the mining industry: capital expenditure (CapEx). CapEx is the mining companies’ investments in the products and technologies as part of their operations. It includes facility improvements, new mining equipment, and beyond. The annual capital expenditure (CapEx) of the world’s top 40 mining companies is $78 billion1. This is about the sa
Operating vocational trucks is all about getting the job done as reliably, quickly and productively as possible. Nailing the power-to-weight ratio on the sweet spot can have a major impact on not just your equipment’s productivity but its longevity and your bottom line as well. There are a number of factors that come into play when spec’ing a vocational vehicle that help ensure that performance ca
There is no mistaking the reality that hurricane season is getting more active year over year. That also means the potential for you to find yourself in the path of any strength storm is increasing too. Earlier this year, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center announced that they were updating their 30-year historical hurricane activity reference period to 1991-2020 from 1981-2010. The signific
