Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

Dempsey Becker, a five-year-old boy living in Minneapolis, MN (USA), relies on toys for more than just entertainment.  He uses them as a critical part of his occupational therapy at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, a state-of-the-art rehabilitation and resource center for individuals with disabilities and complex or chronic medical issues.  Cummins employees in the Greater T

Cummins employees across the country, however, continued to seek and secure ways to help their communities.  In March, for example, Cummins Generator Technologies (CGT) in Wuxi joined efforts to secure critical supplies for those in need in Shuofang and Jixiang, two neighboring communities of Wuxi. Some of the supplies were donated to a long-time community partner, the Wuxi Children’s W

“We feel this is one of the simplest things we can do to honor someone who gave their time in service to our country during such a trying time in history,” said Greg Nalley, Owner of Northside Power.  James Joseph Torres (Jim), 93, was born on May 23, 1926 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Shortly after graduating high school, Torres was drafted into the United States Navy at the age of 18. “I was

When he read a news article in early March about COVID-19 cases in the U.S. where he lives now, Aryee was curious to understand how the virus could impact his local community. He thought he might be able to help others gain insights because of his work at Cummins in strategy and market intelligence. “I felt a sense of urgency when I saw the data,” said Aryee, a Market Insights Segment Leader i

Energy systems across the globe are undergoing a fundamental transformation. As we continue to decrease dependence on fossil fuels, the world is demanding more diverse power solutions for our transportation needs.  Cummins is proud to be at the forefront of this transportation evolution, working with freight and bus manufacturers and operators to design and deliver scalable, zero-emission

The company has implemented health screenings and temperature checks for those entering plants, increased cleaning protocols and established a response center supported by medical personnel to answer employee questions 24 hours per day, seven days per week, Linebarger said. He told shareholders the company has also established a leadership committee to respond to reported pr

Utter chaos. Hundreds of boats slam into each other. Fishing nets thrown on top of one another. Tides rise and fall by the hour. Patrol boats, planes and helicopters monitor GPS coordinates every minute of every day to ensure nobody crosses the boundary line. And if you do? At best, you’re looking at a $5,000 fine. Welcome to the Bristol Bay Fishery, home to the world’s largest wild sockeye sal

Cummins employee Staci Selking jumped in to help her community answer these critical childcare questions and offered solutions that are now being considered for implementation around the state of Indiana.  In late March, a task force composed of community leaders in Cummins’ headquarters city of Columbus, Indiana, identified this as an urgent need for local nonprofit, Children Inc.

Energy is the cornerstone of our lives. We often use six different forms of energy within the first hour of our day. Washing your face requires electric energy to be converted to kinetic energy within the water pump. Using the stove to cook breakfast converts the chemical energy within natural gas to heat (thermal energy). Turning on the TV converts electric energy to light and sound, two more for

Healthcare services, water plants, data centers, greenhouses, food manufacturing and textile facilities all play a key role in our modern, everyday lives. These industries also have another thing in common; uninterrupted access to electricity is critical for the continuity of their operations.  Fortunately, resiliency and flexibility in our electricity infrastructure is expected to prevent

In addition to servicing the Cummins engines powering the local firetrucks, public transportation and trash trucks so vital during the COVID-19 crisis, the branch at Indiana's capital and largest city has also recently worked on trucks carrying essential material across the country.  Their important work included two trucks recently carrying critical medical supplies headed to California,

Trusted because it’s tested.   What do sand bags, mountains, a drone and a film crew all have in common? Well, not much, except that they were all an important part of GILLIG and Cummins’ effort to illustrate the extent of the testing and validation process for the Cummins-powered GILLIG battery electric bus.   Since 2017 when Cummins and GILLIG announced the partnership to work to

The labor-intensive test requires a driver and technician sit side by side to test an engine under “real life” circumstances to prove to regulators its onboard diagnostics are capable of detecting a misfire due to a component failure that produces excessive emissions. The testing is critical to keeping the regulatory process moving forward on the engine model for 2021. The testing had been

COVID-19 has forced the world to define who an essential worker is during this pandemic. Images of healthcare professionals, first responders and store clerks tell the story of essential jobs, but there is a group of workers often overlooked in the story; truckers.  More than 3.5 million professional men and women drive across the country to ensure food, water, medication, personal protect

200 billion. That's the number of internet of things (IoT) objects humankind has today 1. Many of these devices need computing and storage activities, driving the data center industries growth.  This ever-increasing use of data fueled the rise of hyperscale data centers over the last decade. These massive facilities brought important benefits and their large-scale lowered co
