THE TRANSITION TO GLOBAL EMISSION REDUCTION There is a global effort to reduce emissions through the development and implementation of alternative fuels; technologies that deliver lower emissions and reduce environmental impact and through the adoption of more sustainable manufacturing and supply chain practices. This article dives into efforts that involve not just the manufacturing and develo

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced the final rule for Phase 3 of its Greenhouse Gas Emissions for heavy-duty vehicles. Since issuing Phase 1 of its GHG regulations in 2011, EPA emissions rules for all vehicle classes have become increasingly rigorous. The latest Phase 3 rule continues to address heavy-duty vehicles which the EPA separates into five categories: light heavy-duty vocat

As the transportation industry navigates through the energy transition and works to decarbonize fleets, power generation assets and businesses, certain terms have become vital to our environmental discussions.  Knowing the main environmental terms is important to fully understand this journey and talk about it effectively. Let's look at some of these important words. What are GHG and crite

The journey toward reduced emissions requires the availability and use of a range of fuel types, making Cummins Inc. uniquely positioned to lead in this energy transition. Destination Zero is our strategy to accelerate the reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while simultaneously improving air quality by providing the widest range of power technologies for customers to customize their energ

The world population has grown to nearly 8 billion people and is anticipated to reach 9 billion people by 2040. With such growth, global energy demand is expected to increase by 15% in the coming decades. 1 That means all available fuel solutions will be necessary to meet the increased demand for affordable energy. Biodiesel is one of those solutions. Today, more companies are focusing on th

As the transportation industry experiences the energy transition, customers require multiple power solutions and fuel types to customize their journey toward decarbonization in a way that meets their needs today and in the future. Biodiesel is one alternative fuel customers can integrate into their fleets for immediate impact on their carbon emissions. As of 2007, all Cummins Inc. diesel engine

As the automotive industry navigates the complexities of the energy transition, vehicle software is emerging as a key component in transforming how OEMs operate and innovate. The sophistication of vehicle software components can bring new capabilities and create a higher level of efficiency and safety. This article looks at the different facets of vehicle software’s role in the energy transition a

Each year on November 8, National STEM Day is dedicated to recognizing the value and educational contributions of the very fields that help power Cummins’ long-standing history of continuous innovation.  At Cummins, our need, focus and passion for STEM is apparent day to day, and we are eager to use this occasion to:   reflect on our own advancements in STEM; support opportunitie

Over the next decade, it is estimated that manufacturers are seeking to fill over four million manufacturing jobs in the United States alone. Manufacturing Day, recognized nationally on the first Friday of October, was established as manufacturing’s biggest annual opportunity to inspire the next generation in positively shifting perceptions about the manufacturing industry, and build the foundatio

The energy transition in transportation is happening now. Businesses are under pressure to meet new regulations, environmental targets and public opinion. Fleets looking to act quickly to implement clean solutions are turning to compressed natural gas engines. They’re an increasingly popular choice for fleets looking to save money on fuel while improving air quality and reducing their total emissi

Switching to natural gas vehicles (NGVs) can be a great way for commercial vehicle fleets to save money. With lower fuel expenses and reduced maintenance costs on after-treatment systems, natural gas is an attractive and economical fuel choice for many applications. With over 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing natural gas engines for truck and bus applications, Cummins is the perfe

Natural gas engines have been around for decades now. They offer a range of benefits, including reduced emissions and operating costs compared to diesel engines. Despite a high degree of parts commonality, there are some maintenance differences between natural gas engines and diesel engines. This article delves into the world of natural gas engine maintenance and service. It provides insights into
