"Mining"

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), a global leader in power technology, has announced the successful commissioning of a new alcohol fuel test cell, marking a significant milestone in its joint project with Vale and Komatsu to develop an ethanol/diesel-powered surface mining haul truck aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This achievement underscores the companies' shared commitment to decarbonizing

As mining companies worldwide formulate strategies to transition to more sustainable operations without impacting cost of production, a key place to start is with their existing asset base. Upgrading mining engines to the latest technology leads to operational, environmental and even financial improvements. Cummins has developed upgrade kits for QSK60 and QSK78 engines with HPI fuel systems. J

First published by International Mining Engineer, May 2025 One of the most important, but often overlooked, developments in engine technology in recent decades is the dawn of digital connectivity. Whether it's in cars, buses, or even large haul trucks, operators can take immediate access to performance data for granted.  Cummins has over 100 years' manufacturing engines for a range of s

First published by International Mining, April 2025 The mining industry is witnessing a pivotal shift in the way engine performance is managed. Through early detection of performance irregularities and potential faults, digital solutions now play a key role in preventing catastrophic failures and minimizing costly repairs. By keeping engines running at optimal levels, these evolving technologie

First published by Global Mining Review, May 2025 The mining industry is confronted with myriad opportunities and challenges in its energy transition.  Mining equipment operates in the harshest of environments the world has to offer. In mining equipment of the size and scale, physical demands of the machines are tremendous, and reliability is paramount. Combine emissions compliance, robus

First published by International Mining, May 2025  Decarbonizing mining is challenging. While electric and hydrogen solutions show promise, they're still in development and not yet reliable for heavy equipment in demanding environments due to tough conditions and varying infrastructure across regions. Adding to these challenges, miners face a critical task in needing to balance decarbon

The Cummins Destination Zero strategy seeks to meet customers where they are in the energy transition to zero carbon, zero emissions solutions by providing lower-carbon solutions for every step of the way.  At The Electric Mine 2025 in Santiago, Chile, Cummins showcased its progress in developing a portfolio of bridge solutions that allow miners to reduce emissions today and eventually hit

At MINExpo 2024, Cummins Inc. expanded on how bridge technologies will be used to support the mining industry's energy transition. Speaking at the event, Molly Puga, Executive Director of Strategy, Digital and Product Planning, highlighted that the global need to reduce emissions in mining will be achieved most effectively with the support of power solutions that can be implemented today, with

At a press event on October 29, 2024, Cummins Inc. was in attendance to applaud customer Rio Tinto as they announced that Kennecott - home to the world's deepest open pit mine - would fully transition all heavy machinery from conventional to renewable diesel. "We're thrilled to see Rio Tinto reach this significant milestone in reducing its carbon footprint," said Ginger Lirette, Cummins Mining

In 2017, mining contractor HSE began what has turned out to be a highly successful upgrade of its 2500 hp Cummins Inc. QSK60 engines to reduce its carbon footprint at the South Walker Creek coal mine in Queensland's Bowen Basin in Australia. Not only that, longer engine life and improved fuel efficiency were benefits that shone through when HSE carried out a cost benefit analysis of several eng
