For the past decade, mining operations have been focused on lowering cost of production, merging together Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and amount of production achieved.  Today, a third factor is impacting the equation: sustainability. Lowering costs and boosting production only go so far, considering the increasing importance of protecting the environment and the communities where mines

2023 has proven to be another exciting year for Cummins Inc. and its Engine Business Unit (EBU) team with the numerous milestones and product launches announced throughout the year. EBU is the core of the company's five business segments which designs and manufactures state-of-the-art diesel, natural gas and other engines for on-highway and off-highway use.  There's no question EBU employe

Turbochargers are critical components used for optimizing performance of on-highway and off-highway engines. They increase engine power, improve fuel efficiency and help reduce emissions of internal combustion engines (ICE). Cummins Inc. offers a range of turbochargers to support a wide variety of engine requirements used in countless applications.  The primary types of turbochargers are F

An engine's performance depends on both the parts you can see and the technology that you cannot. That's where the Electronic Control Module (ECM) comes in. The ECM is the brain of the engine, optimizing performance and efficiency while managing key safety and operational systems in both on-highway and off-highway vehicles.  This article explains the functions of the ECM and how it optimiz

Vehicle software has emerged as a key tool in the transportation industry's journey towards cleaner operations.  As the global focus sharpens on reducing environmental impacts, advanced software systems are playing a bigger role in vehicle management. Whether it is optimizing fuel usage, minimizing exhaust gas emissions or optimizing electric and hybrid vehicles, software is at the forefront

Before a turbocharger is ready to be installed in an engine, it needs to be tested to ensure it works properly with no defects. There are two main methods for turbocharger testing: cold testing and hot testing. This article examines the differences between these testing methods and the advantages of cold testing. As companies search for ways to operate more sustainably, cold testing has emerged as

Today, more companies are investing in low carbon solutions across the power generation and industrial markets, including mining marine and rail. These solutions include battery-electric and fuel-cell battery hybrid systems as well as internal combustion engines (ICEs) powered by hydrogen.  Cummins Inc. has brought to market battery-electric and fuel-cell hybrid platforms as well as electr

At Agritechnica, Cummins Inc. confirmed its commitment to the hydrogen economy as part of its Destination Zero strategy. "Cummins has developed leading power solutions for over a hundred years, and we continue to demonstrate our leadership in developing a broad range of sustainable drivetrains looking to the future - with hydrogen playing a key role," said Antonio Leitao, Cummins VP Off-Highway

Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is often referred to as HVO, or as renewable diesel, and is distinct from biodiesel. A major benefit of HVO is that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for traditional diesel with no engine modification. It is an ideal option to reduce the emissions of motor vehicles in a simple and cost-effective wa

Understanding what helps modern engines operate at their peak performance requires an understanding of their key components. The following article explains the crucial role of an engine's Electronic Control Module (ECM) and how it optimizes the performance, efficiency, and reliability of on-highway and off-highway applications. To know more about the ECM, dive into the details of how the Elec

Energy diversification has created the possibilities of a healthier environment, stronger communities, and robust and inclusive economies. Cleaner, more sustainable sources of energy that use fewer of the world's resources promise a decarbonized economy - which is critical to both our future and current way of life.  Across the power generation and industrial markets, including mining, ma
