"Natural Gas"

Each day, global energy demand grows exponentially, and with it the need for clean, reliable resources. Enter natural gas and Cummins integrated gas generators. An essential part in powering the modern world, natural gas ranks third in global energy production, just behind oil and coal. This abundant, clean-burning fuel source accounts for roughly a third of our energy and electricity in the U.

From tough terrain across the United States for UPS to steep grades in Canada, Cummins’ X15N natural gas engine has spent its first year proving it can handle heavy hauls while delivering near-zero emissions at a lower fuel cost than diesel. It’s been a year since Cummins launched its X15N natural gas engine and its résumé keeps growing. With up to 500 horsepower and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque,

Shell Starship 3.0, one of the most aerodynamic tractor-trailers on the road, has moved beyond test routes and into the high-performance world of INDYCAR. It now serves as a key member of the racing series’ transportation fleet.  Powered by the Cummins X15N™, the cleanest heavy-duty natural gas engine on the market, Starship 3.0 is demonstrating that natural gas technology is not just a re

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

Companies aiming to minimize their environmental impact are prioritizing Scope 3 emissions—those generated across their entire value chain, including suppliers, contractors and transportation. Often the largest share of a business’s carbon footprint, these emissions present significant challenges, particularly for industries like manufacturing, food production, retail and shipping. Renewable Natur

As sustainability becomes a global priority, companies are exploring ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions across their entire operational footprint. This includes Scope 1 emissions directly under their control, like manufacturing processes. But companies can make a big impact by looking at ways to lower indirect emissions, known as Scope 3. Many companies in industries like food production, manufa

The Cummins Inc. X15N is the most powerful natural gas engine Cummins has ever built, with a broad engine torque curve to provide flexibility for various heavy-duty applications. The X15N weighs less than our current X15 diesel and has power ratings up to 500 hp and torque up to 1850 lb-ft, helping heavy-duty fleets start reducing their transportation emissions today, without sacrificing capabi

A decade ago, turbochargers for natural gas and diesel engines were not very different. However, new emissions regulations have driven the development of turbochargers specifically designed for natural gas engines. These turbochargers are adapted to stoichiometric burn conditions, where the mix of oxygen and fuel is precisely balanced. This balance ensures efficient combustion, leaving no unburnt

At Cummins Inc., we’re constantly looking for ways to advance sustainable transportation solutions. As the industry shifts to lower-emission fuels to reduce pollution, natural gas engines are one critical pathway to cleaner mobility. Cummins is therefore working to innovate component-level technologies supporting natural gas engines. Understanding how natural gas engines work and the components

Global power and technology leader Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) has started full production of the X15N™ natural gas engine at its Jamestown Engine Plant. The Cummins X15N is the first 15-liter natural gas engine to be designed with flexibility to perform across a range of heavy-duty applications, including line haul and vocational. “This engine has been tested extensively in our field test, and it
