This is it! My first time riding in a truck outside of a small test track on the west side of Columbus, Indiana. After standing for eight hours in 90-degree, 90% humidity heat, riding in a truck with air conditioning for eight hours seemed like a vacation. Except in order to make it to Atlanta on time, the trip started out at six o'clock in the morning. I had the plea
All you need is a smile and a raincoat. Cummins employees in Darlington and Stockton (UK) are taking the company’s sustainability priorities to heart by developing a strong relationship with the River Tees Rediscovered project.

Unfortunately, over the years Sierra de Alvarez has been affected by deforestation and poaching of animals. At Cummins, we demand that everything we do leads to a cleaner and safer environment. So when
Boom! You immediately sit upright in bed. It’s 3:23 a.m. and it’s happening again. The wind is howling against your window and there’s an unsettling roar in the air. You can see flashes of lightning through the curtains. The dog doesn’t like it either. He’s pacing the floor and panting. It’s easy to tell he’s not used to storms like this... Back home in California, your friends would have th
Alberta Children’s hospital in Calgary, Alberta, Canada doesn’t look like any ordinary hospital. It looks fun, even playful. The exterior of the building is covered with energetic colored blocks and the sign at the main entryway looks as if it was written by a child. Inside, there are playgrounds, toy rooms, and murals of barnyards, mountains, forests and more. Despite the cheerful appearance o
An Engineer’s Blueprint of Hope Six years ago, Kwasi Twumasi, an electrical engineer at Cummins Power Generation, started an orphanage in his hometown in Ghana. It did not begin as a vision, but rather an answer to a desperate question. Twumasi’s brother-in-law died of HIV/AIDS, and the family soon discovered that his sister had the disease, too. They have four children. “It was then th
Today, many companies are becoming more and more eco-conscious about the products they create. Cummins knows the importance of producing products that exceed customer expectations, especially when it comes to products that lead to a cleaner, healthier environment. Recently, Cummins was present at the BusVic Maintenance Conference and Exhibition in Melbourne where the focus was on the pro

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
