While most people know to have water, batteries and canned goods on hand, there are many other critical steps to take when preparing for a severe weather incident. A few of the unique tips found in our severe weather preparedness brochure include:

As local students returned to school in the U.S., Cummins leaders recently joined policymakers to discuss a question plaguing industries around the world: how can society prepare and encourage more children, especially girls, to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and manufacturing? Women make up approximately 20 percent of engineering undergraduates in the United States, and careers in these fields often are not even considered by younger students. Without awareness of the potential of these career paths, these numbers are unlikely to improve.

The companies pledged on Sept. 27 in Paris to work to make sales and service available in the target cities no later than 2018 for buses and bus engines with low-emissions technology. Nearly all of the cities benefitting from the partnership are in countries that do not have rigorous emissions regulations.

CUMMINS’ JAMESTOWN ENGINE PLANT IN JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (U.S.A) IS FAST DEVELOPING A REPUTATION FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND REDUCING GREENHOUSE GASES (GHGs). The plant recently showcased its latest initiative, a $47 million block machining line that utilizes on-demand hydraulics, coolant and pneumatics to reduce energy consumption as it produces the company’s high efficiency diesel and natural gas heavy duty engines.

“We are building the most important diesel research center in the world,” longtime Cummins Chairman and CEO J. Irwin Miller said a half century ago. “…We mean business. We mean never again to have to respond to a competitor’s development. We mean to beat him on each move, and be out first with a product so clearly superior in economy, bulk, weight and long life that our excellence does not have to be argued.”

Cummins Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger appeared on Bloomberg TV this morning to discuss the critical importance of NAFTA to Cummins and the global economy. Watch Tom Linebarger discuss the critical importance of NAFTA. In an op-ed authored earlier in 2017, Linebarger, who also chairs the Business Roundtable International Engagement Committee, wrote:

Cummins recently announced their acquisition of Brammo, Inc., which designs and develops battery packs for mobile and stationary applications. Adding Brammo’s battery pack expertise and resources is an important milestone in Cummins’ efforts to become a global electrified power leader. Here are five interesting facts about Brammo and their products. HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

The Additive Manufacturing Approach The prototyping industry utilizes additive manufacturing to generate 3D parts using plastic media. This technique is a recognized approach for providing a visualization aid so that key considerations such as ease of manufacture can be assessed, for example. The manufacturing method reduces the time taken to develop new products and improves the collaboration and knowledge sharing between cross functional groups such as engineering, manufacturing and supply chain.

With the advancement of new electric and hybrid technologies picking up pace such as electrification and stop-start technologies to improve commercial vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, Cummins Turbo Technologies needs to understand what the impact of these new automotive technologies will be on their air handling technologies.

Highly Durable, Highly Efficient and Compact Turbochargers Are Becoming Increasingly Desirable
