Imlay had been thinking and praying for guidance to make an impact in her home community of Columbus, Indiana, and help her former colleagues at Columbus Regional Hospital.

Though the title may seem quite grand, the total surface area of the union is just 12 square miles. Ten of the islands are inhabited. One received a visit from a Cummins Sales and Service technician during the COVID-19 pandemic he won't soon forget.  Kiltan is a coral island in the archipelago with a population just under 4,000. The island used to be part of an international trade route su

A retail center, a transport company, a boat builder and an engine manufacturer walk into a bar... Oh, wait.

In that short amount of time, the company has managed to become one of the top performing Cummins Home and Small Business generator dealers in the tri-state area. Pure curiosity and intrigue led the Ohio based company to order a few Cummins RS20AC Home Stand-By gensets which quickly became a best seller, "… I bought a couple of Cummins generators to try out and was very happy with the product - th

The tools, which allow experts to remotely see what technicians see in the field, were created by the Cummins Care team in 2017, prior to the COVID-19 crisis, to support customers in hard-to-reach locations.

Sixteen out of 93 pages for Glencore, 12 out of 75 pages for Rio Tinto and 11 out of 105 pages for BHP. These are the number of pages each of the world's biggest miners allocated to sustainability in their most recent annual reports. It is just not the pages, as each of these miners have established commitments in reducing their environmental impact. Similarly, Cummins Inc. is driven to redu

Nearly 75% of all energy we produce is estimated to be dissipated as waste heat. This includes the heat generated by your car's engine, light bulbs at home and other devices that need energy to operate.  Waste heat is also generated while producing electricity, the cornerstone of our modern lives. Fortunately, technologies such as cogeneration and trigeneration help us reduce this waste he

For the construction site of the future, equipment and site managers could be checking on their dozers and excavators before they ever leave home. Using a dashboard on their laptop or phone, they could check to see what maintenance has been performed overnight and what maintenance will be needed to maximize uptime over the next few days.

Rick Renfroe had been planning a cruise to Key West and the Bahamas for well over a decade. The day he finally got his keys to a Sundancer 440 with twin Cummins diesels, that dream was on its way to becoming a reality. No stone was left unturned in his boating preparations. Every mechanical element was checked and tested ahead of time, and if there were any doubts about a part's reliability, it

I write this message today with a very heavy heart. Like many of you, I have been horrified and angered by recent events, including the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The anger and frustration spilling into the streets reflect longstanding problems that must be addressed.  In the US, black people are discriminated against in systemic ways, often marginalized, and have increasing reas

When looking to describe our electrified power applications, many adjectives come to mind, including durable, reliable, safe, and ...beautiful? It's a new (and unusual!) one to add to the list, but this spring, the newly debuted XCMG electric excavator powered by Cummins added "most beautiful" to its list of attributes.
