The undergraduates, who are working with Cummins as part of their degree studies, have organized displays and activities on the St Andrew’s Road site as part of World Environment Day. On show were a range of the latest techniques and products available from local specialists and community partners to reduce water consumption, power usage and food waste. Employees could also find out about the latest environmental initiatives at the Cummins facility and greener travel to work schemes.

Bloodhound SSC is a supersonic car (SSC) being developed by some of the world’s leading engineers with the goal of achieving a 1,000 mph world land speed record. Primarily an education project its mission is to confront and overcome the impossible using science, technology, engineering and mathematics as well as motivating the next generation to deal with global 21st century challenges.

The shift in focus - from emissions driven innovation towards solutions that prioritise fuel economy - highlights Cummins Turbo Technologies’ belief that the industry has now reached the tipping-point at which global engine and vehicle manufacturers are developing products designed to insulate customers from rising fuel prices.

The leader in automotive technologies chose IAA Hannover to unveil a suite of near-market solutions, which it believes reflect the changing priorities of global engine and vehicle manufacturers whose future products are being developed to insulate customers from rising fuel prices. With a shift in focus from emissions driven regulations towards fuel economy improvements expected in the next round of legislations, these new technologies are the latest post Euro 6 low carbon solutions to be revealed by the global power leader.

The innovative technologies being unveiled by the world leader in automotive technologies include turbocharger components designed for high efficiency and a tailored midrange fuel system that combined can offer up to 7-8% fuel efficiency improvements. Cummins expertise in aftertreatment solutions is also demonstrated with the unveiling of the new high performance Compact Box™ and display of the Single Module™ aftertreatment that offers a 60% reduction in space claim, and 40% reduction in weight, providing significant improvements for customer integration and installation.

It’s the joy of six for visitors to IAA Commercial Vehicles as Cummins Inc. components can be found in six out of 10 of truck and bus exhibits at what is the 66th occasion of the IAA Commercial Vehicles show. Components engineered and manufactured by Cummins, including technologies for fuel, aftertreatment and air handling systems, as well as lube and fuel filtration, can be found within almost two thirds of truck and bus models on display at what is the world’s leading International Trade Fair for Mobility, Transportation and Logistics.

The bespoke two-stage technology, developed at the company’s technical centres in Huddersfield, UK and Columbus, Indiana USA, will be fitted to the Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine and was showcased in tandem with the engine at the show. It will offer flexible architecture that efficiently integrates and packages two turbochargers in series to deliver high performance levels whilst still meeting the stringent emissions targets of the light-duty market.

The global engineering leader in turbocharging technologies chose IAA Hannover to unveil several near-market solutions, which it believes reflect the changing priorities of global engine and vehicle manufacturers whose future products are being developed to insulate customers from rising fuel prices. Speaking at the event, Executive Director for Product Line Management & Marketing, Mark Firth commented: "With fuel prices rising steeply we foresee the trend in engine downsizing - making them smaller and lighter - gathering pace.

Cummins Emission Solutions will be introducing the first of its next generation of aftertreatment platforms for future emissions regulations, Single Module. This platform product, which is a potential solution for Stage V, is designed to meet future emission requirements in a small, light-weight, simple and robust advanced aftertreatment system package.
