Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

The transportation sector emits five million metric tons of CO2 a day in the U.S. This is about 36 pounds of carbon every day for each person in the U.S.  Passenger cars, motorcycles, heavy-duty trucks, trains, boats, and airplanes all contribute to this carbon emission, but at varying levels. When you look at the increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions among these transportation applicat

Calling Syntyche Koumaglo an overachiever just may be an understatement. Growing up in Togo, a small country in West Africa, she often had to deal with hardships such as unreliable electricity. "I remember growing up with frequent power shortages and outages. I would be doing my homework and couldn't finish because the power would just shut off. It's a problem that still exists there today." 

International Women's Day and Women's History Month offer an annual opportunity for celebrating the achievements of women around the world. This year's theme, #BreaktheBias, invites us all to understand the impact we can have by breaking the gender bias in our communities, schools and workplaces. Cummins Inc. has been taking action for gender equality for a long time. Internally, we are working

Before accepting a position with us as a marketing communications specialist, Chauncey Cox admits her perception of Cummins was that of a big, successful company that was all about building engines. Not too long into the job, however, she realized that Cummins is also about building connections and relationships with people. And that really appealed to her. "I was working for our Distribution B

It's no secret women are underrepresented in STEM roles and careers, Hispanic women even more so. Thankfully, Kimberly Martinez Sequeda and Cummins are doing their part to change that. Kimberly currently serves as a supplier quality engineer, working with suppliers to ensure they are providing good quality products to our lines.  "My commodity, or what I focus on, are castings. Basicall

We recently sat down with Gage, a Home and Small Business (HSB) Power Generation Dealer located in Louisiana to understand what the day in the life is like while they help provide 24/7 power in an unreliable world.  Q: What Cummins products do you sell? A: GAGE sells the Cummins QuietConnect Series of standby generators to homes and small businesses. Our company also provides turn-key ins

When Jesus interviewed at Cummins over ten years ago, one piece really stood out - the importance of family. "When I interviewed with my hiring manager, the first thing he told me was, 'Jesus, I'm sorry. I have a commitment with my granddaughter.' She had a dance recital that he had to attend, and I knew that family was important to him. For me, family is very important. I knew that Cummins was le

After decades of debate, last year's COP26 Conference in Glasgow united the world in one truth: climate change is the existential crisis of our time. And we are at a critical moment in this fight; with data clearly illustrating a ceiling of 900 giga tons of CO2 to keep global warming below 2o Celsius1. Meanwhile, the transportation sector continues to be at center stage, becoming the biggest contr

No matter what season it is, adventure is calling.  Unsurprisingly, outdoor adventures and activities are trending due to the pandemic. What was once seen as a luxury is now seen as a necessity, and outdoor toys like ATV's, side-by-sides, kayaks, and boats have all increased in demand. More traditional means of recreational transportation, like RVs and towable campers, have peaked in popul

Here are five things to know about this exciting new technology approach from Cummins. 1. An industry-first approach  These new fuel-agnostic engine platforms will feature a series of engine versions that are derived from a common base engine, which means they have a high degree of parts commonality. Below the head gasket of each engine will have similar components and above the head ga

Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, Ikenna Onyenze excelled in math and sciences and knew he wanted to pursue something in those fields professionally. "The United States is a leading nation in education, especially for STEM and technology, so it made logical sense for me to come here." Ikenna enrolled in Howard University in Washington D.C. where he earned his degree in Electrical Engineering. 

Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, has taken a big step forward in sustainability with a new fleet of 350 Solaris Urbino CNG buses powered by Cummins L9N engines which run on renewable biomethane gas. By the end of this year, the new buses will achieve a 70 percent renewal of the bus fleet, replacing older-generation buses with the most modern vehicles to meet passenger expectations. Operated b

Cummins provides mobility solutions that allow customers to get from point A to Point B. But as the climate crisis continues and global companies pivot to adopt more sustainable practices, how do we help customers move people and things with minimum to zero air pollutants or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? One solution is fuel cell electric vehicles. Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) use e

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of May 2020, the median wage for diesel service technicians and mechanics was $50,200, however that is just the middle of the pay scale. Some heavy-duty technicians make as much as $72,000 to $93,000 per year. When Cummins Inc. created the Cummins Advocating for Racial Equity (CARE) initiative in 2020, launching new Technical Education for Co

Cummins and Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Development Our hydrogen-fueled engine development program is one of our latest steps to advance zero-carbon technology. Customers are taking notice and so are governments.  Indeed, judging by some reactions, it's almost as if Cummins has just reinvented the internal combustion engine (ICE). Of course, product development is in th

"My view is we're out of time to protect our climate and we're out of time to make sure that American companies are the ones that lead the world in these technologies," Linebarger told President Biden. "When we invest, we can win, and we can create jobs for our workers here in the United States." Corporate executives including General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Ford CEO Jim Farley and Microsoft Pre

For a long time, it looked like cars with hydrogen engines or fuel cells would one day take over the roads and the transportation sector. Hydrogen fuel cell cars release no harmful emissions of any kind, have a long range, and can be refueled in minutes. In theory they sound like a great way to decarbonize the transportation sector. In practice, hydrogen cars are facing stiff competition from plug
