Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

Taking care of the communities where Cummins does business has been an important standard for the company since the early beginning. Recently, the Cummins India Foundation awarded scholarships to 125 meritorious students from in an around the locations where Cummins is present. Now in its ninth successive year, this program supports students from socially and economically unprivileged backgroun

Cummins has always been eager to link its values to corporate responsibility. It wasn’t until early 2000 that the company changed its outlook on corporate responsibility and renewed their commitment to giving back. Today, Cummins employees in Indiana joined forces with the local Veterans and Supporters Affinity Group (VSAG) to sponsor a Military Care package Drive.  The drive aimed at coll

Cummins has a history of strengthening the communities in the areas in which they operate from. This dedication to local communities is continuing through a new corporate responsibility partnership with Schneider Electric. In July, representatives from both companies signed a Joint Declaration to signify their intent to collaborate on community improvement projects across the globe. This agreem

This past April, the lights went out in our nation’s capital. There was no storm, it wasn’t a hot summer day, and a car did not knock down any power lines. The cause of the blackout was allegedly a freak accident due to a dilapidating infrastructure: a piece of metal breaking loose from a power line 43 miles from the District of Columbia. From neighborhoods to national museums, prestigious coll

As the old saying goes, good fences make good neighbors. Well, so do quiet generators, and although we’re certain you make every effort to be the good neighbor, you could be overlooking a thing or two. We’re referring to that old portable backup generator you bring out every time the power fails. It’s bad enough these machines crank out only enough power to run the fridge and TV at the same

The New and ReCon Parts India (NRPI) plant located at the Cummins Megasite in Phaltan, Maharashtra, India was recently awarded with the Golden Peacock Occupational Health & Safety Award for 2015.

Our trip through Canada has come to an end this week. From Toronto to Winnipeg, across to Edmonton, and through the mountains to Vancouver – the entire experience was unmatched. Cummins Western Canada hosted their event in Edmonton and they did not hold back. More than 400 customers and attendees came out to see Cummins products in action while enjoying some mid-summer sun, local grilling exp

October may seem far away, but it’s never too early to make time for driver safety. The Cummins Corporate Health & Safety team will be hosting the second annual Road Safety Expo on Saturday, October 24. The event will take place at the Dorel Juvenile Group in Columbus, Indiana.

Ken Federle is the Executive Director of Research and Development at Cummins Emission Solutions. We recently caught up with him to ask about the new Single Module product for heavy-duty trucks and how the design was developed. Interviewer: The Single Module is a revolutionary product. Tell us a little about where the concept came from. Ken: We heard clearly from our customers that

There is no better word to describe the Winnipeg Redefining Tour stop than wonderful. The day was absolutely fantastic. We had abundant sunshine with temperatures at 28⁰C (83⁰F) and very little wind. Approximately 250 guests attended and their reaction to the products and technologies on display were all positive, with the star of the show being the one of a kind show trailer!

As a global company operating in over 190 countries, Cummins encourages its employees to look for ways to improve the communities in which they live.

The Redefining Tour has been on the road for 33 days! Our trucks have rolled over a lot of pavement and cast their headlights on some exciting places in the first month of the tour. Let us break it down for you… Our trucks have… Traveled over 2,000 miles Rolled over more than 70 highways and roads Our drivers have… Clocked over 35 hours behind the wheel The fleet ha

We don’t walk to places like people once did. We use our cars to get to work, the store, a friend’s house, everywhere; as a result, fuel efficient vehicles are in high demand. But the demand reaches further than just your average car or truck. Cummins On-Highway customers want to improve their fuel economy too. That’s why in 2014, the Cummins India Area Business Office created a council dedicat

When customer feedback pointed to an inadequate process for ordering replacement turbo parts, Gerben Van De Biezen, Regional Sales Manager in Europe, formed a team to streamline the process. The Net Promoter System (NPS) showed that Cummins customers felt their requests for Vehicle Off Road (VOR) orders weren’t being answered with enough urgency; they expected an estimate on lead-time and cost

Counterfeit Cummins parts were proving to be a problem in the Russian market. The Net Promoter System® (NPS) is a tool Cummins uses to measure, understand and improve upon customer feedback. In 2014, during NPS surveys, customers told us that Cummins dealers in Russia often face these counterfeit spare parts when a customer’s equipment would come in for repair. The parts appear to be genuine Cu

What once took shape as science fiction concept in books and movies, now riddles its way into day-to-day life: the Internet of Things (IoT). In the Internet’s short history, technology has leapt from clunky computers to wearable technologies like the iWatch, creating the web of connected “things.” These ever-changing technologies not only bemuse the modern world but also give promise of a longe

On National Women in Engineering Day, held June 23 in the United Kingdom, employees from Cummins Power Generation (CPG) stayed busy by working across sites in Kent, Peterborough and Stamford, England in support of the Cummins Women in Technology (CWiT) forum, an initiative championed by Cummins’ Chief Technical Officer, John Wall.
