Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

Trailers play a crucial role in transporting various goods and necessities, making it essential for them to remain on the road functioning properly. Since these fleets need to remain on the road for extended periods, it's important to have various systems and innovations in place to ensure that drivers and fleet managers can have peace of mind. Fleet managers and drivers face numerous challenges o

Cummins Drivetrain and Braking Systems (CDBS), a part of Cummins Inc.'s Components segment, is ramping up production capacity for air disc brakes (ADBs) and rear axles with strategic investments totaling over $190 million. These investments underscore Cummins' commitment to meeting the increasing demand for advanced braking and axle solutions in the commercial vehicle sector. The industry is witne

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

At Cummins Inc., we're constantly looking for ways to advance sustainable transportation solutions. As the industry shifts to lower-emission fuels to reduce pollution, natural gas engines are one critical pathway to cleaner mobility. Cummins is therefore working to innovate component-level technologies supporting natural gas engines. Understanding how natural gas engines work and the components

In April 2022, Cummins Inc. announced the acquisition of Jacobs Vehicle Systems (JVS), a supplier of engine braking, cylinder deactivation, start and stop and thermal management technologies. Not only did this addition to Cummins' vast portfolio of advanced technology for engines bring ownership of JVS's new technologies to the company's current and future advanced engine platforms, it allowed Cum

As fleets work towards reducing emissions, understanding the differences in aftertreatment systems for various fuel types is crucial. The adoption and growth of hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE) is a significant step as hydrogen ICE provides a low-emission, low-carbon option for a more sustainable transportation sector. The mechanisms that clean exhaust gases in these engines are fundamen

Brake system issues are a leading cause of out-of-service violations. When performing brake mainte­nance, it is important to inspect and maintain the entire braking system to prevent these violations. The goal is not to have more brake jobs, but rather for brake jobs to be more complete, resulting in more uptime. Here are the facts: In 2023, there were nearly 54,207 out-of-service brake v
