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,"

Celebrating 100 years of innovation, Cummins is recognized as a global power leader and often revered as one of the most progressive technology companies in the world. Perhaps that's why Fast Company, one of the world's leading business media brands focused on innovation and technology, invited Cummins' Vice President and Chief Information Officer (CIO), Sherry Aaholm, to speak at their annua

Cummins has powered world agriculture since our first engine was launched in 1919. As the company gears up for Agritechnica, here's a look at our history of innovation in agriculture, as well as our latest developments. The year 1919 marked the start of the Cummins Engine Company. Founded by Clessie Cummins, a 31-year-old farmer's son from Columbus, Indiana, with support from banker W.G Ir

Earlier this year Kubota unveiled its largest tractor, the 19,510 lb. (8550 kg) M8. Powered by a 190 hp (141 kW) or 210 hp (156 kW) Cummins B6.7 Performance Series engine, the M8 delivers the power and reliability that Kubota customers expect. "The M8 Series is Kubota's most powerful and advanced tractor line to date," said Todd Stucke, Kubota senior vice president of marketing, product sup

Drip. Drip. Drip. It may just be tiny droplets of water dribbling out of Cummins' latest innovation, but it is making a big splash this week at the North American Commercial Vehicle Show (NACV) in Atlanta. Building upon a long history of innovation and delivering industry-leading solutions, Cummins is displaying the newest development in the powertrain of choice: hydrogen fuel cell power. 

Matt Cummins and his life-long friend Pete Hazel were outside of Bozeman, Montana, when the odometer on his 1999 Dodge Ram quad cab, long bed with a Cummins 5.9L ticked over 300,000. "That was exciting. It was a big deal that lasted for one mile," he said.   Hitting 300,000 was just one of many highlights of that trip, which had Matt driving cross-country in June from his home in Port
