An engine's performance depends on both the parts you can see and the technology that you cannot. That's where the Electronic Control Module (ECM) comes in. The ECM is the brain of the engine, optimizing performance and efficiency while managing key safety and operational systems in both on-highway and off-highway vehicles.  This article explains the functions of the ECM and how it optimizes engine performance, reliability and efficiency. 

Black History Month, celebrated annually in the United States and Canada throughout the month of February, is a time for recognizing the central role of African-Americans in history. At Cummins, it's also about highlighting the significance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Last month, Cummins announced additional details surrounding Connected Diagnostics™, the first application within the Connected Solutions suite that has been designed to work seamlessly with leading telematics providers.

Turbochargers are critical components used for optimizing performance of on-highway and off-highway engines. They increase engine power, improve fuel efficiency and help reduce emissions of internal combustion engines (ICE). Cummins Inc. offers a range of turbochargers to support a wide variety of engine requirements used in countless applications. 

2023 has proven to be another exciting year for Cummins Inc. and its Engine Business Unit (EBU) team with the numerous milestones and product launches announced throughout the year. EBU is the core of the company’s five business segments which designs and manufactures state-of-the-art diesel, natural gas and other engines for on-highway and off-highway use. 

What is renewable natural gas?  Renewable natural gas (RNG) differs from fossil fuels as it's produced from various types of waste, like used cooking oil, animal waste, sludge from wastewater, manure and other waste materials. As these biodegradable materials decompose, methane is released. This methane is captured and converted into RNG.
