The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) recently recognized the Cummins SuperTruck II team for pioneering research and development in heavy-duty diesel engine technology. This honor, which was presented to the team during the DoE’s Annual Merit Review Conference, celebrates their achievement of 55% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) from an engine equipped with waste heat recovery, an important metri

Vehicles in California powered by renewable natural gas (RNG) removed more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they emitted for the first time in 2020, a direct result of the continued drop in carbon intensity of renewable natural gas.  Adoption of RNG in trucks, buses and other vehicles grew 25% across the state from 2019 to 2020, and RNG use is up more than 170% in the past five year

For the best results for your business, consider all aspects of repowering before making your final choice. To help you with this, we have compiled the five repowering considerations below for you and everyone else in the marine industry. Whether the boat is used for fishing, towing, ferrying or pleasure, these considerations will help narrow down the repowering options that you should consider

Operating vocational trucks is all about getting the job done as reliably, quickly and productively as possible. Nailing the power-to-weight ratio on the sweet spot can have a major impact on not just your equipment’s productivity but its longevity and your bottom line as well. There are a number of factors that come into play when spec’ing a vocational vehicle that help ensure that performance ca

Summer is right around the corner. Many of us have been yearning for the long days, warmer weather and time spent on the water. Whether you’re headed out in your pontoon on the lake, fishing boat in the gulf, or sailboat on the ocean, safe boating starts on shore.   "At Cummins, our daily lives revolve around safety," says Jennifer McQuilken, who works for Cummins marine but is also a

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCVs) are vital to the transportation industry's move toward more sustainable operations. Both are low emission vehicles that run on electric power. Battery Electric Vehicles operate using energy stored in batteries, while Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles are powered by a fuel cell that creates electricity using hydrogen as a fuel, with

Cummins Inc. is excited to announce the expansion of its operations at the Marktheidenfeld plant in Germany with a new production line for electrified technologies. This represents a significant step forward in Cummins' dedication to advancing manufacturing capabilities for electrified mobility solutions. The new line will support production of electrified solutions for mobility applications, l

The fuel system is a critical part of any engine, playing a pivotal role in powering vehicles efficiently and effectively. As fuel technologies evolve, a better understanding of the fuel system enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to meet their emission goals, optimize vehicle performance, ensure safety and comply with regulations.  The fuel system is part of the powertrain and

Digital technologies are transforming the world. In our personal lives we are growing used to interacting with connected devices every day in our homes, cars, and at work. Today, many new cars come with digital features that improve safety, increase efficiency, and bring new levels of convenience to our everyday lives.   Commercial vehicles are no different, with digital fleet management t

The transportation industry is at a pivotal stage in the energy transition. While some early adopters are eager to integrate new, emerging technologies, others are curious about low-carbon alternative fuels that are readily available to integrate into existing infrastructure.  One of the simplest ways fleets can lower their carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gas emissions is by integratin

Roughly three years ago there was not much talk about hydrogen engines according to Jim Nebergall, Executive Director – Market Strategy, Cummins Inc.  “When I started, nobody knew what this was,” said Nebergall who also serves as Cummins’ general manager of hydrogen engines. “We decided this is important enough for Cummins to focus on.” The Biden administration, the European Union and t
