The commercial transportation industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the global push to reduce emissions. In parallel, our customers and fleet operators are trying to achieve more sustainable operations through improved fuel economy and efficient performance. As fuel technologies evolve, it is crucial to understand how Electronic Control Units (ECUs) will evolve to support

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced the final rule for Phase 3 of its Greenhouse Gas Emissions for heavy-duty vehicles. Since issuing Phase 1 of its GHG regulations in 2011, EPA emissions rules for all vehicle classes have become increasingly rigorous. The latest Phase 3 rule continues to address heavy-duty vehicles which the EPA separates into five categories: light heavy-duty vocat

Digital technologies are transforming the world. In our personal lives we are growing used to interacting with connected devices every day in our homes, cars, and at work. Today, many new cars come with digital features that improve safety, increase efficiency, and bring new levels of convenience to our everyday lives.  Commercial vehicles are no different, with digital fleet management t

As the transportation industry navigates through the energy transition and works to decarbonize fleets, power generation assets and businesses, certain terms have become vital to our environmental discussions.  Knowing the main environmental terms is important to fully understand this journey and talk about it effectively. Let's look at some of these important words. What are GHG and crite

The mining industry is at a pivotal moment, with leading companies across the globe committing to ambitious goals to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. At the heart of this transformative era is Cummins Inc., which is a trusted partner of miners to help reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions and move towards greener operations. With Cummins, miners can make significant strides t

The journey toward reduced emissions requires the availability and use of a range of fuel types, making Cummins Inc. uniquely positioned to lead in this energy transition. Destination Zero is our strategy to accelerate the reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while simultaneously improving air quality by providing the widest range of power technologies for customers to customize their energ

Roughly three years ago there was not much talk about hydrogen engines according to Jim Nebergall, Executive Director - Market Strategy, Cummins Inc.  "When I started, nobody knew what this was," said Nebergall who also serves as Cummins' general manager of hydrogen engines. "We decided this is important enough for Cummins to focus on." The Biden administration, the European Union and t

The transportation industry is continuously evolving, incorporating advanced technologies to improve efficiency, reduce costs and minimize environmental impacts. One key technological advancement is Model-in-the-loop (MIL) testing, a process that is revolutionizing how engineers approach engine development and testing. This article explores the concept of model-in-the-loop testing and dives into t

Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced it will launch its most efficient heavy-duty diesel engine ever. As the next product in the Cummins HELM™ 15-liter fuel agnostic platform, the diesel X15 will be compliant with U.S. EPA and CARB 2027 aligned regulations at launch.
