Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

July 2023 marks the second anniversary of Cummins Water Works (CWW) and the many initiatives it has supported all over the globe! The $13 million program was created to strengthen communities and address the global water crisis through improved water quality and accessibility. CWW was also established to produce net water benefits that exceed Cummins Inc's annual water use in all Cummins regions b

Rising costs related to fuel, trailers, parts, insurance, wages and more all keep truck fleet managers on the lookout for ways to meet market demands more efficiently. In response to these escalating expenses, Cummins has proactively implemented measures to address the rising costs.  Digital technologies can play an important role in the journey to reduce costs. But did you know they can a

Everyone needs breaks in their workday, even when it's technically a work night. Working the third shift on a Cummins Inc. engine manufacturing line presents a few hurdles to quality break time. There's no opportunity to step outdoors for a dose of sunshine, and it can be hard to contribute outside of work to charitable causes. At the Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP), Marilyn Hoyt doesn't let these

As part of our daily lives, we expect all connected devices to automatically update themselves. It gives us peace of mind that our computers and phones are protected against the latest cyber threats and bugs, receiving improved functionality and performance. Cummins Inc. products are no different, with over-the-air (OTA) updates* available for your engine today. Modern powertrains are complicat

Remote diagnostics and prognostics monitor and diagnose the condition of an engine in real time using data sent from the asset's sensors and control modules. This data can be analyzed to identify faults and predict when future faults are likely to occur. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) was first used in the Royal Air Force in the previous century. The idea was to plan maintenance according to

In high school, Uriel did not have the means to attend college, but he knew he wanted to be the first in his family to get there. He thought his only path to a degree was to apply for scholarships and loans or join the military. Then Uriel heard about Project Stepping Stone, sponsored by Cummins, which develops awareness of the engineering field for Latino high school students in the State of Indi

In today's world, technology has revolutionized most aspects of our lives, and the transportation industry is no exception. The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about a major shift in the transportation industry, with data and analytics being the driving forces behind it. One such technological advancement is the remote monitoring of trucks and other commercial vehicles, enabled by smart engin

Invented in the 1890s, diesel engines have been powering our world since soon after Rudolf Diesel filed his first patent. But how has diesel technology changed over the years, and what makes an engine an advanced diesel engine?  Let's take a look at today's diesel engines and how Cummins Inc's innovations have improved and enhanced this technology.  What are the types of diesel e

The Cummins Inc. Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP) is not only leading the way with engine development but also at the forefront of an innovative program inspiring skilled workers. By partnering with Jamestown Community College (JCC), the company offers accredited classes and hands-on, Cummins-specific training to invest in the future success of employees. What is the Skilled Trade Apprenticeship?

As a Data Quality Index Manager, Mayank reviews machine learning and analytical model data and develops Business Integration (BI) visualization tools. Throughout his 15 years at Cummins, he has scoped projects, defined timelines and developed solution concepts. Now he coaches and trains others to do the same. He's working toward a leadership position - a senior data-level role within the Quality o

Commercial fleets are increasingly moving toward alternative fuels to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable natural gas (RNG) has enormous potential to help the transportation industry come closer to carbon neutrality. So, how do landfills play a role in this decarbonization journey? Turning Landfill Waste into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)    How is it possible to o

Data centers require continuous operation and backup power generation in the event of a power outage. Modern diesel generators (gensets) have advanced to be some of the most fuel and energy-efficient options in the market. They are a reliable choice, require minimal maintenance, offer quick start-up times and benefit from diesel's wide availability.  Data centers are seeking cleaner powe

Believe it or not, landfills have a key role to play in the transition to renewable energy. Landfills are no longer just disposal points, but rather, they can be the starting points for new energy sources. This article will take a deeper look into how landfill waste is turned into renewable natural gas, and how landfills are becoming valuable energy resources. Why and how do landfills play a ro

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
