The engine control module (ECM) is a critical component in the fuel delivery system in diesel, natural gas and hydrogen vehicles. This article looks at the role of ECMs in the fuel delivery systems across various fuel technologies like diesel, natural gas and hydrogen. As we examine modern fuel systems and fuel delivery systems, we will see how ECMs work with fuel delivery systems to keep vehicles

The Lord works in mysterious ways - just ask Ed S., Technical Support Manager of Cummins Power Generation. As a young man, Ed entered the U.S. Air Force fresh out of a high school vocational program, excited to work as an electrician. No positions were available in that field, so he asked for the next best thing, and the recruiter placed him in electrical power production. Ed was instantly a fa

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

At Cummins Inc., we know the importance of having power when you need it. We’ve reliably powered vehicles, homes and businesses for decades, all through a variety of solutions. But one of the most versatile units we offer is our portable power stations: compact, off-the-grid energy sources that provide temporary power for one or more devices. Power stations have a lot of great uses—and the

The commercial transportation industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the global push to reduce emissions. In parallel, our customers and fleet operators are trying to achieve more sustainable operations through improved fuel economy and efficient performance. As fuel technologies evolve, it is crucial to understand how Electronic Control Units (ECUs) will evolve to support

The fuel system is a critical part of any engine, playing a pivotal role in powering vehicles efficiently and effectively. As fuel technologies evolve, a better understanding of the fuel system enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to meet their emission goals, optimize vehicle performance, ensure safety and comply with regulations.  The fuel system is part of the powertrain and

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

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCVs) are vital to the transportation industry's move toward more sustainable operations. Both are low emission vehicles that run on electric power. Battery Electric Vehicles operate using energy stored in batteries, while Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles are powered by a fuel cell that creates electricity using hydrogen as a fuel, with

Cummins Inc. is excited to announce the expansion of its operations at the Marktheidenfeld plant in Germany with a new production line for electrified technologies. This represents a significant step forward in Cummins' dedication to advancing manufacturing capabilities for electrified mobility solutions. The new line will support production of electrified solutions for mobility applications, l

Digital technologies are transforming the world. In our personal lives we are growing used to interacting with connected devices every day in our homes, cars, and at work. Today, many new cars come with digital features that improve safety, increase efficiency, and bring new levels of convenience to our everyday lives.   Commercial vehicles are no different, with digital fleet management t

“I’ve always been interested in mechanics and tinkering. Taking things apart, putting them back together, making them work.” Ethan’s love of tinkering led him to a fruitful career here at Cummins, where he’s been since 2018. He’s currently Service Supervisor, managing the shop in Richmond, Virginia, with six direct reports. They serve all kinds of customers, from fleets to owner-operators to RV an

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
