Cummins Inc. is committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship by focusing on innovative technologies, operational efficiency and collaborative efforts. This comes through Destination Zero - Cummins’ strategy for reaching zero emissions. This path will require innovation and advancement in every component to deliver powerful and reliable products to our customers that help them meet and exceed environmental regulations.

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 these alternative fuel technologies.

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.

For Jacob, a Graduate Engineer at Cummins Turbo Technologies, the journey from student to full-time engineer has been one of growth, collaboration, and purpose. After completing a one-year placement with Cummins, Jacob returned just two months ago as a graduate engineer—and he’s already making an impact. “What I enjoy most is the collaboration,” Jacob shares. “I get to work across different areas—from the materials lab to LabOps—and gain hands-on experience with parts and testing. It’s a great way to learn.”

For more than 20 years, we have reduced industry concerns with tire pressure loss. Equipped on more than 1 million trailers, Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) helps keep tires properly inflated to reduce wear and increase fuel economy. Standard ThermALERT wheel-end heat-sensing technology immediately alerts drivers to overheating wheel-ends so that drivers can take preventive action to avoid damage. MTIS can be installed on all major trailer axle models in North America.
