Since 1919 Cummins Inc. has been a leader in innovation; from developing technologies to make diesel engines more energy and fuel efficient, to developing technologies allowing engines to be powered by natural gas, electricity and other alternative fuels, Cummins is a technology leader.

Cummins Global Support Team Extends Fuel & Air Filter Hours for Longer Uptime  

In rural parts of Oman where there is no connection to the grid, villages rely entirely on the local power station, where Cummins generator sets run 24/7 in continuous operation. During winter, the load on the plant is minimal as there is less cooling required. However, with summer approaching, the load will increase and power requirement will thus be critical. 

The export of refined iron ore from Australia to China has led to the development of gigantic infrastructure especially for the loading process from shore to ship. The company web page describes this process as follows: “The magnetite concentrate is exported to China from a purpose-built port at Cape Preston. From the stockyard, the product is transported to the barge loading berth at the breakwater through the 4.4km conveyor belt.

James Dewing started building boats in Australia and he has since built in China before settling in Thailand. As for other expats he finds the country to be the countries relaxed life style and excellent food a perfect fit for him. And, like Toyota, Nikon and other high tech industries he has found an educated and skilled workforce.

To understand more about electric vehicles and the opportunities they present, it’s important to look at what they are and how they work. What is a fully electric vehicle? Fully electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by an electric motor instead of a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE). The drivetrain, which supplies power to the vehicle’s axles, gets power from a collection of rechargeable batteries.

UCEM Chimborazo is the second largest cement plant in Ecuador, currently producing around 1.6m tonnes of cement annually. When it came to fail-safe power supply for its new clinker line, Cummins was awarded the bid for this emergency power supply contract.  With two existing utilities feeding all loads, a third option capable of managing all critical loads in an emergency situation was required. It was also vital that any new power supply connects to the existing hydroelectric plant to optimize capabilities.

With the recent launch of the GILLIG Battery Electric Bus, powered by Cummins, there are more opportunities than ever before for cities and organizations to explore the switch to electric vehicles. It is new territory in many applications, including public transit, school systems, and more — but exciting developments and rapidly advancing technology promise new opportunity for transformational innovation.

NFPA 110 defines “Type” as the maximum time, in seconds, that the emergency power supply system will permit the load terminals of the transfer switch to be without acceptable power Type 10, therefore, has a 10-second time to readiness: meaning that a source of electrical power of required capacity, reliability, and quality must be provided to life safety loads within 10 seconds following loss or failure of the normal power supply.

In the section from Rahim Yar Khan to Ghotki, a pair of Cummins C275D5B units will serve two toll stations and lighting, and a third unit will serve the command and control center of Section 07 located at Ghotki. A pair of C700D5 units will serve the service area, which includes a fuel station, mosque, rest area, ATM and food court, with 2 x C220D5 units there on standby.
