Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

Did you know that manufacturing is the third largest industry sector in the Western New York region? Cummins Inc. is proud to play a part in building engines at our Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP), where we employ roughly 1,300 (and counting) of the 18,000 manufacturing workers in the three-county area. However, a shortage of qualified workers is predicted over the coming decade due to industry growt

Cummins Inc. has been supporting and involved with STEM education at schools in Columbus for many years. Since starting in 2015 at Schmitt Elementary, over time, Cummins has had a hand in STEM labs being incorporated into every elementary school in the district. The program has certainly evolved since inception, and, if you can imagine, with 2022-2023 being its first formal year, robotics is now p

It’s almost been nine years since launching Cummins Technical Education for Communities (TEC) in Beijing, China. Although the program is well established and learning and activities have taken place over the years, COVID-19 brought about challenges with face-to-face learning, internships and community partners interacting. With restrictions lifted this year, it was the perfect opportunity for t

The Cummins mining team was excited to show up to The Electric Mine Conference in Tucson, Arizona, USA, in late May as a Showcase Sponsor, ready to share our perspective on decarbonization in the mining industry.  For those who were unable to join us in person, we’re sharing the highlights from our exclusive presentation made during Day 1 of the conference by Robert Schaefer, Director, Min

For over a year, through the Cummins Water Works (CWW) Mississippi River Basin Grant, Cummins Inc. and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) have collaborated on projects aimed at reducing pollution entering rivers and streams in the Mississippi River Basin. One unique project came about this May when Cummins employees gathered at the Cummins Seymour Engine Plant in Indiana and built nesting boxes for the

Companies working to achieve their decarbonization goals are increasingly interested in hydrogen engines. Over the past year, leading companies like Tata Motors, Buhler Industries and Werner Enterprises have expressed interest in Cummins 15-liter hydrogen engine. More leading companies can take advantage of hydrogen-powered solutions to decarbonize as these technologies become more cost-friendly a

Like every invention, Cummins Inc. engines undergo rigorous testing to determine the viability of a new component, design or technology. With test cells installed in 2015, Seymour Engine Plant’s engine research and development capability and capacity significantly increased. Now, the plant’s sustainability leaders are on a mission to reduce test cell’s fuel emissions. Celebrating the expansion

Katie’s education in the business school at Indiana State University exposed her to many different aspects of business, from finance to marketing, to app development and more. She wasn’t afraid to try different things until she found her fit, and that variety of learning experiences is paying off. Now a Project Manager for the Global Warranty Systems Transformation, Katie helps forge connection

Hydrogen use in the transportation sector initially focused on hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV's). More recently, however, hydrogen vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (ICEs) are increasingly receiving attention, especially among medium and heavy-duty trucking applications. But why? Hydrogen engines offer a zero-carbon pathway using the same hydrogen fuel as FCEV's.

Speaking at Cummins’ Annual Meeting earlier this month, Rumsey said the company is well positioned to take a leadership role on climate action, helping customers in the transition to cleaner power sources. Cummins has established Destination Zero, the company’s strategy to achieve its product decarbonization goals. “Cummins has a history of turning challenges into opportunities, and this is

The Cummins Inc. Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP) is not only setting the standard for manufacturing top of the line engines. It’s also setting the standard for plants across the country as it makes progress on Cummins’ goal of having a net positive impact on local communities. Part of Cummins’ Planet 2050 environmental sustainability strategy and 2030 goals aim to reduce absolute water consumption

With the 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge quickly approaching, the racing spirit could be felt throughout the state of Indiana this week, and one event that got kids in the community excited was Indy 500 Community Day presented by Cummins.  With more than 2,000 students participating across the city, and plenty of Cummins employee volunteers on hand to support,

Advanced diesel engines fuel many of the world’s most vital industries. Boats, barges, and semis move most products that consumers use every day. Agricultural equipment ensures we have the food and natural resources we need. Construction equipment powers our infrastructure.  But what exactly is a diesel engine? How does it work? And what are the primary parts and features of a diesel engin

In March 2020, after eight years working in various roles at Cummins, Grant joined the North America Business Leasing Team—the day the world shut down. As an account executive, Grant handles customer relationships for big-volume truck leasers like Penske, PacLease and Idealease.  "Penske has almost 100,000 vehicles with Cummins engines and claims six to seven thousand warranties per month,

Data centers are the backbone of our rapidly evolving global digital economy. With the rising demand for computing power, it's increasingly important to have reliable and sustainable energy sources. Over the past few decades, data center architectures have reflected the benefits of a sufficient and reliable power grid infrastructure. Now, they incorporate on-site battery storage and backup powe

Cummins Inc. employees are dedicated to building reliable engines for customers all over the world every day. It’s that kind of dedication that often extends beyond manufacturing plants and into volunteer work with surrounding communities and local organizations. For Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP) employees, Lakewood Fire Department in Lakewood, New York (U.S.) was one such organization.  Ai

The future of our planet depends on a decarbonized economy. At Cummins Inc., we believe the path to zero emissions involves both developing advanced internal combustion engines which can be deployed today, and innovating zero-emission solutions in markets where the infrastructure is ready. Cummins estimates that advancing both ways will contribute to 1.4 gigatons of cumulative carbon reduction. Th

If there’s one thing that drives Apprentice Technician Cameron M., it’s his motivation to learn new things. Continuously.  After graduating from Mayfair High School in 2013, Cameron went to Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) school with the goal of becoming a firefighter. Two and a half years in, he found the EMT work rewarding, yet grueling — 24-hour shifts were the norm — and Cameron was
