For the past decade, mining operations have been focused on lowering cost of production, merging together Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and amount of production achieved. Today, a third factor is impacting the equation: sustainability. Lowering costs and boosting production only go so far, considering the increasing importance of protecting the environment and the communities where mines
Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is often referred to as HVO, or as renewable diesel, and is distinct from biodiesel. A major benefit of HVO is that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for traditional diesel with no engine modification. It is an ideal option to reduce the emissions of motor vehicles in a simple and cost-effective wa
Today’s modern diesel engine is an impressive feat of innovation. Cummins Inc. is no stranger to innovation. In fact, the company spends $1 billion annually on research and technology across its product portfolio with 11,000 of the brightest engineers innovating for their customers. Today the company is taking a look at three of the innovations that have shaped the advanced diesel engines that are
A 2021 study by McKinsey & Company explores the reality many companies in the mining industry are working to address: underrepresentation of women in the industry. Cummins has long prioritized diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and aspired to a workforce that is representative at every level of the communities in which it operates around the world. The mining industry is a powerful exa
The cleanest high horsepower diesel engines operating in mining in Australia today are the Cummins Inc. QSK50 and QSK60 Tier 4 Final units powering haul trucks and excavators in the NSW Hunter Valley. In fact, these are the only high horsepower mine engines in service in Australia today with Tier 4 Final compliance, the most stringent off-highway emissions standard in the world. Of
