Ask Chunpeng Xu what some of his favorite things are and his list will likely include a good film, a basketball game from the National Basketball Association (NBA), and a challenge that drives him to learn something new and solve problems. His career as a Senior Controls Engineer in New Power ticks the third box by giving him the opportunity to keep learning and contributing to innovative pro

If you're anything like the rest of us, at some point this year you were scrolling through your favorite feed and passed an article about the latest severe weather event. The headline probably exclaimed something about the "worst storm on record" or "strongest storm in history", and it was likely followed by some images of sheer destruction. We've all seen them. And again, if you are anything l

Have you ever been really cold? Like teeth-chattering, shivering like crazy, cold? Would you believe that, at that moment, you were suffering from mild hypothermia? If you are like most people, that probably sounds crazy. And for good reason. Except for people climbing huge mountains, or hiking in Alaska, hypothermia is just not something you've ever had to worry about. Right? Now, what if y

The following article was authored by Dennis P. Heathfield, Executive Director Inclusion, People with Disabilities and Veterans, Cummins Inc.  With the holiday season in full swing in many parts of the world, I wanted to stop for a minute to celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities and reflect on the progress we’ve made toward Cummins’ Disability Inclusion initiative.

The worksite of the future will see site managers using digital technologies as integrated components to drive business results, with the Internet-of-Things and machine learning becoming more than just buzz words. In this post we'll explore how connectivity combined with intelligent site planning and the right equipment can improve productivity, while reducing costs and improving safety. We'll

But the recent focus on hydrogen  - and its place in helping decrease the negative impacts of climate change and decarbonizing the power sectors - has caught the attention of many journalists and thought leaders from around the world. And rightfully so.  Is hydrogen the future? Only time will tell, but as we highlighted during our recent Hydrogen Day virtual event, we certai

Hydrogen will contribute significantly to the transition to clean technology in Europe, and across the world. In July, the European Commission announced its hydrogen strategy to explore the potential of clean hydrogen to help the process of decarbonising the EU economy in a cost-effective way, in line with the 2050 climate-neutrality goal, set out in the European Green Deal. To match the interest

Launched in 1999, the indices are one of the oldest measures of corporate sustainability. In 2020, only 142 companies made the North American index over nearly two-dozen categories, ranging from automobiles to utilities. Cummins is one of only 10 included from the capital goods sector. The indices are based on an exhaustive survey covering company performance and strategy in 2019 on environment

The French industrial company Air Liquide, established in 1902, has been producing and distributing hydrogen and hydrocarbon-based gases for 60 years now - and they're not slowing down any time soon. In times of rapid change, this established energy leader isn't keeping things business-as-usual. Vice President of Air Liquide Pierre-Etienne Franc shared his hopes and insights for innovating

For a fleet that's currently mostly running on diesel, a mission like this calls for groundbreaking innovation - fast. As the transportation sector continues to develop zero-emission vehicles, battery electric trucks are in the spotlight. Fully-electric powertrains are a fairly new, zero-emission solution well-suited for short-range hauls. Electric trucks will certainly play a role in the i

 Speaking at the company's Hydrogen Day, leaders said Cummins has the technical expertise and the manufacturing and customer support capabilities to successfully bring to market a range of hydrogen-related products at a scale for widespread adoption. "Hydrogen technologies, particularly electrolyzers, will be a fast-growing and increasingly important part of our business over the next

To decrease the negative impacts of climate change and decarbonize the power sector, renewable technologies like wind and solar have emerged as key ingredients to providing a solution. But integrating these intermittent energy sources into the power grid can be challenging. This is where electrolyzers come. Hydrogen makes other forms of renewable energy more viable by providing efficient and porta

Cummins began developing its fuel cell and related technologies more than 20 years ago and through its Hydrogenics Business, which is a part of Cummins, there is more than 70 years of participation within the hydrogen market. The company is investing in fuel cell technologies that will utilize hydrogen and convert it to electricity; while developing fully integrated fuel cell powertrains, fuel cel

With 200 billion Internet of Things (IoT) objects humankind has today1, connectivity is embedded at every aspect of our lives. When it comes to connectivity within the transportation sector, highway vehicles such as cars, trucks and busses get the spotlight; yet one would think whether trains would be a better candidate to adopt connected solutions given some aspects of operating trains is less so
