An engine's performance depends on both the parts you can see and the technology that you cannot. That's where the Electronic Control Module (ECM) comes in. The ECM is the brain of the engine, optimizing performance and efficiency while managing key safety and operational systems in both on-highway and off-highway vehicles. This article explains the functions of the ECM and how it optimiz
Vehicle software has emerged as a key tool in the transportation industry’s journey towards cleaner operations. As the global focus sharpens on reducing environmental impacts, advanced software systems are playing a bigger role in vehicle management. Whether it is optimizing fuel usage, minimizing exhaust gas emissions or optimizing electric and hybrid vehicles, software is at the forefront
Today, more companies are investing in low carbon solutions across the power generation and industrial markets, including mining marine and rail. These solutions include battery-electric and fuel-cell battery hybrid systems as well as internal combustion engines (ICEs) powered by hydrogen. Cummins Inc. has brought to market battery-electric and fuel-cell hybrid platforms as well as electr
At Agritechnica, Cummins Inc. confirmed its commitment to the hydrogen economy as part of its Destination Zero strategy. “Cummins has developed leading power solutions for over a hundred years, and we continue to demonstrate our leadership in developing a broad range of sustainable drivetrains looking to the future – with hydrogen playing a key role,” said Antonio Leitao, Cummins VP Off-Highway

Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is often referred to as HVO, or as renewable diesel, and is distinct from biodiesel. A major benefit of HVO is that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for traditional diesel with no engine modification. It is an ideal option to reduce the emissions of motor vehicles in a simple and cost-effective wa
Energy diversification has created the possibilities of a healthier environment, stronger communities, and robust and inclusive economies. Cleaner, more sustainable sources of energy that use fewer of the world’s resources promise a decarbonized economy — which is critical to both our future and current way of life. Across the power generation and industrial markets, including mining, ma
The ranking is based on 180 factors around the environment and climate change, employee relations, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society, and overall ESG Performance. “Achieving the transformational targets in the Paris Agreement and U.N. Sustainable Development Goals in this decisive decade requires all companies to truly embed ESG issues into the core of their business,” said Dav
Alternative solutions to maximize power and reduce emissions Which energy solutions provide the ideal combination of maximum power performance that enhances efficiency while also minimizing or eliminating emissions? The right answer for a company’s power needs depends, of course, on the application, the company’s access to lower carbon options and the budget at their disposal. There
The energy transition in transportation is happening now. Businesses are under pressure to meet new regulations, environmental targets and public opinion. Fleets looking to act quickly to implement clean solutions are turning to compressed natural gas engines. They’re an increasingly popular choice for fleets looking to save money on fuel while improving air quality and reducing their total emissi
