Cummins Inc.

In its first two years, a Cummins initiative advancing gender equality around the world has impacted more than 100,000 people and resulted in eight laws or policies promoting gender equality.  Cummins Powers Women is an $11 million (and growing) global grant commitment to engineer solutions to gender inequality. The investment supports a range of effective programs, including grassroots te

China residents must wear respiratory masks when in public as the first line of defense to the spread of the novel coronavirus. More than 90,000 people in over 65 countries have been infected by the virus, and more than 3,000 have died. “A lot of colleagues across the world have provided great support in helping us source masks and relentlessly driving to the final resolution of this urgent req

Strengthening its product catalogue, CTT has revitalized the HE600 platform by delivering significant improvements on performance and durability. By combining years of engineering experience in turbine wheel and impeller design, overall turbocharger efficiency has increased more than four percent while offering a product that is more robust. "We have used advanced aerodynamic techniques to desi

This year, Cummins celebrates 100 years in Power Generation. It all started with the incorporation of Onan Corporation in 1920 – a family owned business founded by David W. Onan. "The Onan story has so many parallels with Cummins. It started with one business idea and one visionary entrepreneur. What D. W. Onan started as a small business in Minnesota thrived for 100 years and became a global i

Here are 4 ways you can put your tax refund to work for you: Pay Off a Small Debt Put your tax refund toward paying off a high-interest credit card. Start with the credit card that has the highest interest rate. Doing so will save you much more money in the long run. If you have already paid off your credit card debt, think about making an extra payment on your school loans, car payment or m

In this fourth preview blog, we look at how policy and regulations regarding commercial EVs must be carefully developed in collaboration with industries and institutions. Sustainability, after all, is not an issue limited to any one sector, and only by drawing on the insight of experts in the technology, infrastructure, and economics of EVs, as well as end-users and other policymakers, will succes

At present, EVs are often more expensive than their conventionally-powered equivalents. One reason for this is inherent material costs, with battery manufacture requiring large quantities of lithium. Yet, as processes are refined, efficiencies are found, and scale increases, the manufacturing costs of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are expected to reduce – and the reduction of this cost will be a

Much of the infrastructure required to practically use an electrified vehicle (EV) is already in place: roads, traffic lights, car parks and systems of vehicle registration are all agnostic as to how the vehicles they accommodate are powered.  The way energy is delivered to vehicles, however, must change in tandem with the move to EVs, replacing the well-developed network of oil-based fuel

The world’s power needs are changing. By the end of the 21st Century, we will not have the same reliance on fossil fuels. A growing number of fleets are looking to diversify how they power mobility and heavy industry. Battery electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming viable across a broad range of applications, and the potential to transform commercial fleets is clear. What’s less understood is how

Take a 100-year-old company with a commitment to improving the communities in which it operates and a global workforce focused on fulfilling that commitment, and you have several years in a row of surpassing Cummins’ participation rate goal in its Every Employee Every Community (EEEC) program. The program, which is the cornerstone of Cummins’ community engagement work and enables each employee

It may not be rocket science, but it can sound pretty intimidating. Electrochemistry is the lifeblood of so much technology we use and depend on every day. Everything from a blood glucose sensor to water contamination detectors and even the galvanization of steel are brought to you by electrochemistry. Electrochemical reactions power everything that runs on a battery, too — whether it’s your smart

Cummins will more than double the number of collaborative robots it is using by the end of 2019, further digitizing its manufacturing operations for a future some describe as the fourth industrial revolution – or Industry 4.0. At least 30 cobots will share workspace with employees at 15 different sites across the globe by the end of the year.  Collaborative robots, also known as “cobots,”
