"Sustainability"

A decade ago, turbochargers for natural gas and diesel engines were not very different. However, new emissions regulations have driven the development of turbochargers specifically designed for natural gas engines. These turbochargers are adapted to stoichiometric burn conditions, where the mix of oxygen and fuel is precisely balanced. This balance ensures efficient combustion, leaving no unburnt

The state of California has positioned itself as a central figure in a revolutionary shift from a 100-year path of internal combustion engines (ICE) used in commercial transportation. Within a three-year span, the state has adopted the world’s most stringent commercial vehicle regulations: Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT), the Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Omnibus Regulation and Advanced Clean Fleets (

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from a variety of products and processes, including paint and coating operations. While paint can provide protection and aesthetic benefits to products, the VOCs emitted during the painting process also have environmental implications. VOCs can react with nitrogen oxide when exposed to sunlight to create ground-level ozone, contributing to

The industries Cummins Inc. powers play a critical role in impacting climate change. We have the opportunity and responsibility to leverage our expertise to develop sustainable solutions that enable our customers’ success, positively impact our communities and protect our planet for future generations.

Global power and technology leader Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) has started full production of the X15N™ natural gas engine at its Jamestown Engine Plant. The Cummins X15N is the first 15-liter natural gas engine to be designed with flexibility to perform across a range of heavy-duty applications, including line haul and vocational. “This engine has been tested extensively in our field test, and it

After working with Cummins Inc. and other major industry suppliers to slash emissions with a hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2-ICE), Southwest Research Institute is moving onto the next phase of its H2-ICE Consortium - drawing on real-world expertise from fleets. SWRI announced earlier this year that its converted hydrogen engine nearly eliminated tailpipe nitrogen oxides (NOx) with a mas

We are living in transformational times. All will be affected. It is a business and moral imperative that companies ensure a just transition for all, particularly in the communities where we work and live. Effective corporate responsibility in times of change requires a flexible community engagement model, one that can both organize a company’s resources at scale and adapt to regional differenc

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are advanced energy storage solutions that store electrical energy for later use. They can be recharged when there is an excess supply of electricity, often at lower costs, or when intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, are generating power. BESS can then discharge the stored energy to provide a dedicated power supply, support microgrids

Trucks, buses and coaches are responsible for more than a quarter of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road transport in the European Union (EU), and account for over 6% of total EU GHG emissions. Increasing freight traffic is partially responsible for this growth and the EU is introducing bold new targets to reduce emissions and meet future net zero objectives.  The regulatory landscape
