The Additive Manufacturing Approach The prototyping industry utilizes additive manufacturing to generate 3D parts using plastic media. This technique is a recognized approach for providing a visualization aid so that key considerations such as ease of manufacture can be assessed, for example. The manufacturing method reduces the time taken to develop new products and improves the collaboration

With the advancement of new electric and hybrid technologies picking up pace such as electrification and stop-start technologies to improve commercial vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, Cummins Turbo Technologies needs to understand what the impact of these new automotive technologies will be on their air handling technologies. Through this project Cummins Turbo Technologies is d

Highly Durable, Highly Efficient and Compact Turbochargers Are Becoming Increasingly Desirable Over the past few years, the market has seen global engine and vehicle manufacturers shift their focus from emission driven regulations to fuel economy improvements to insulate their customers from rising fuel prices. With fuel prices remaining high, Cummins Turbo Technologies is committed to focusing o

Tribology within Turbochargers There are numerous tribological interfaces, commonly termed tribosystems, within a turbocharger. Some of these, such as the rotor bearing system, are lubricated and operate at temperatures less than 200 °C. The variable geometry and wastegate systems are examples of high temperature tribological interfaces within a turbocharger which are subject to temperatures be

Novel Solutions for Materials Engineering Increased demands are being placed upon turbochargers as a result of ever more stringent emissions regulations, a necessity for improved product performance and reliability and a requirement for a wider product operating range. Consequently, a greater level of stress is placed upon the materials from which turbochargers are manufactured. In order to achie

Mark Levett, Cummins Vice President and General Manager – High Horsepower Business, talks about the QSK95 engine at its unveiling in Seymour, Ind. It’s hard to imagine something eight feet tall, 14 feet long and capable of producing 4,000 horsepower could ever be considered “green.” But Cummins’ new 16 cylinder QSK95 engine, the largest high-speed diesel engine the Company has ever built, ha

The future of trucking could well be unfolding this fall along U.S. Route 287 in north central Texas. After months of testing concepts in trucks around the country, Cummins engineers and their colleagues in a public-private partnership will pull together the best of what they’ve learned and apply it to a single tractor-trailer. With an aerodynamic exterior, an engine that captures waste

MEXICO - In 2010, Hellion Zambrano Medical Center will be opened. This technological project in Monterrey will supply highly specialized medical services, ongoing education and research, to offer groundbreaking medical services to Mexico and, also, to the world. This great project is supported by the local Cummins Power Generation distributor, Megamak, responsible for ensuring the safety of the

The Selçuker Center is a mixed-use development in the city of Selçuklu, Turkey, one of the central districts of Konya Province. With a total area of 23,700 m2, the center encompasses a residential block alongside a market, offering a comfortable and practical living space next to stores and café-restaurants with outdoor seating. Cummins Turkey recently provided the standby power system for the cen
