Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

Cummins is joining the likes of AT&T, Boeing, General Motors and Wal-Mart with its induction into the Billion Dollar Roundtable, a prestigious advocate for best practices in corporate supplier diversity. “Cummins is honored and excited to be inducted into the Billion Dollar Roundtable for our commitment to diversity and inclusion and the work we do with our global supplier partners,” said C
Heavy-duty truck drivers demand reliability, so it’s no wonder so many choose Cummins to power their vehicles. Cummins engines are known for their long lives and outstanding uptime. In fact, many drivers exceed the million-mile mark in their Cummins-powered machines. When they do, they are invited to join the Cummins Million Mile Club. Today, we’ll hear from Cummins Million Mile Club member, Pi
Women have long been under-represented in engineering in the United States... ...so when Cummins Chemical Engineer Alyssa Arend met with a group of Girl Scouts last year, she had a secret weapon to pique their interest in the subject: A model of the company’s QSK95 engine made entirely of LEGOs. “What makes this so great is that it effectively shows how the STEM area is both approachabl
The gray, rectangular machine emitting a bright blue light doesn’t look particularly impressive as it quietly goes about its work at the Cummins Technical Center (CTC) in Columbus, Indiana.... But some believe the technology it uses could one day change manufacturing as we know it. 3D printers can take extremely detailed instructions to make precise objects a layer at a time, with relatively
Some students at Schmitt Elementary will soon spend part of their school day having fun with rubber bands, straws, plastic tubes and other household items. Not to worry, it’s just the second year of an innovative introduction to the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) called the Curiosity Machine. More than 70 Cummins engineers will be helping 5th and 6th graders at the sc

Remember the Cummins ISV5.0-Powered "Mad Maxxis” Off-Road Runner? Fred Williams, host of Motor Trend’s “Dirt Every Day” series is at it again, this time using a 2.8L Cummins Turbo Diesel to repower his 1997 Jeep® Wrangler® – and then driving it 12 feet underwater. Cummins Exploring the 'Crate Engine' Business The project is part of Cummins’ growing presence to the enthusiast market as
It happens like clockwork every May. The air gets warmer and the weather gets less predictable and more intense, and we all know it’s coming. So there are really few excuses not to have a backup power plan in place. After all, you may only lose power for a couple of minutes, but it could also end up being weeks. And enduring a power outage that long could prove to be a miserable experience.

Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles about Valvoline and Cummins' attempt to compete at the 49th SCORE Baja 1000 in November 2016.
