Progress never stops, and neither do we. Explore the latest news and thought leadership in the world of Cummins.

As more truck engines using alternative fuel enter the market, including the Cummins X15N, more repair shops are weighing their options for providing indoor service in a properly outfitted facility. There is good news for technicians who often work outdoors to be code compliant for gaseous truck service. Getting techs indoors means deciding between converting an entire garage to
Fleets and owner-operators have long known that extending oil change intervals can lead to significant cost savings and environmental benefits. The challenge they have faced has been to accomplish this safely, without risking engine health or adding maintenance headaches. Cummins has made that easier than ever thanks to years of testing coupled with data-rich analytics. Cummins’ latest engine a
For nearly 20 years, biodiesel has been approved by Cummins for use in its on-highway diesel engines. Cummins’ iconic workhorse, the X15 diesel, is approved to run up to B20 which contains up to 20% biodiesel mostly obtained from soybeans. Fleets and owner-operators using biodiesel in the X15 have long-enjoyed greater lubricity, lower emissions and higher cetane values over conventiona
As mining companies worldwide formulate strategies to transition to more sustainable operations without impacting cost of production, a key place to start is with their existing asset base. Upgrading mining engines to the latest technology leads to operational, environmental and even financial improvements. Cummins has developed upgrade kits for QSK60 and QSK78 engines with HPI fuel systems. Th
First published by International Mining Engineer, May 2025 One of the most important, but often overlooked, developments in engine technology in recent decades is the dawn of digital connectivity. Whether it’s in cars, buses, or even large haul trucks, operators can take immediate access to performance data for granted. Cummins has over 100 years’ manufacturing engines for a range of s
First published by International Mining, April 2025 The mining industry is witnessing a pivotal shift in the way engine performance is managed. Through early detection of performance irregularities and potential faults, digital solutions now play a key role in preventing catastrophic failures and minimizing costly repairs. By keeping engines running at optimal levels, these evolving technologie
First published by Global Mining Review, May 2025 The mining industry is confronted with myriad opportunities and challenges in its energy transition. Mining equipment operates in the harshest of environments the world has to offer. In mining equipment of the size and scale, physical demands of the machines are tremendous, and reliability is paramount. Combine emissions compliance, robus
First published by International Mining, May 2025 Decarbonizing mining is challenging. While electric and hydrogen solutions show promise, they’re still in development and not yet reliable for heavy equipment in demanding environments due to tough conditions and varying infrastructure across regions. Adding to these challenges, miners face a critical task in needing to balance decarbon
The Cummins Destination Zero strategy seeks to meet customers where they are in the energy transition to zero carbon, zero emissions solutions by providing lower-carbon solutions for every step of the way. At The Electric Mine 2025 in Santiago, Chile, Cummins showcased its progress in developing a portfolio of bridge solutions that allow miners to reduce emissions today and eventually hit
Jacob’s Dodge RAM 250 was custom-ordered by his grandfather in 1992. Thirty-three years later, it’s still on the road and helping the family get things done. If you ask Jacob, he’ll call it a workhorse, and for the truck’s first act, that phrase had a deeper meaning. Jacob’s grandfather needed a vehicle that would pull horse trailers. In this Dodge RAM powered by a 12-valve Cummins, he
In May 1950, the Cummins Diesel Special #61 raced in the Indy 500. Later that year, the “Green Hornet” went on to set six US and international speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats. This spring, the car – now fully restored to its original specifications – returns to the Indy 500, reminding audiences of the spirit of innovation that continues to drive Cummins Inc.’s leadership in power techno
Two of the brightest stars of the Cummins European marine dealer network will be sharing their stories of success at the Maritime Industry trade show taking place in Gorinchem this week. The dealers – Marine Power Drechtsteden (MPD) and De Groot Diesel Marine Services, both based in Dordrecht in the Netherlands – are hosting booths at the annual event for the inland waterways market, which expe
There comes a point when technology can prove less than convenient. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that drivers of passenger cars have grown weary of a growing number of buttons and on-screen options. They want less, not more to deal with when driving down the road. Driver retention survey experts at WorkHound have reported the same for tractor-trailer drivers. They re
A historic turnout at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Anaheim, California has been met with a big showing of natural gas trucks powered by Cummins new X15N. For the show’s 14th year, Class 8 trucks equipped with the Cummins X15N natural gas and diesel engines have outnumbered their zero-emission counterparts. According to organizers, at least six trucks equipped with th
Improving fuel economy in a heavy-duty diesel engine while lowering emissions is no small feat. For decades engineers have been aiming to achieve the combination knowing customer motivations to run cleaner for more miles per gallon. That’s what makes Cummins 2027 X15 such a stimulating topic among engineers, fleet owners and maintenance managers who know the interests all too well.&nbs
Vignesh V.’s path to Cummins is rooted in a lifelong curiosity about how things work, particularly in the world of automobiles. "I was always fascinated by airplanes and automobiles while growing up. I was always curious about how they worked," he recalls. "My interest in automobiles piqued during my graduate studies. I took part in an exciting inter-university competition. This experience solidif
