Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power
The state of California has positioned itself as a central figure in a revolutionary shift from a 100-year path of internal combustion engines (ICE) used in commercial transportation. Within a three-year span, the state has adopted the world's most stringent commercial vehicle regulations: Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT), the Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Omnibus Regulation and Advanced Clean Fleets (
At Cummins Inc., we're constantly looking for ways to advance sustainable transportation solutions. As the industry shifts to lower-emission fuels to reduce pollution, natural gas engines are one critical pathway to cleaner mobility. Cummins is therefore working to innovate component-level technologies supporting natural gas engines. Understanding how natural gas engines work and the components
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from a variety of products and processes, including paint and coating operations. While paint can provide protection and aesthetic benefits to products, the VOCs emitted during the painting process also have environmental implications. VOCs can react with nitrogen oxide when exposed to sunlight to create ground-level ozone, contributing to
After working with Cummins Inc. and other major industry suppliers to slash emissions with a hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2-ICE), Southwest Research Institute is moving onto the next phase of its H2-ICE Consortium - drawing on real-world expertise from fleets. SWRI announced earlier this year that its converted hydrogen engine nearly eliminated tailpipe nitrogen oxides (NOx) with a mas
As fleets work towards reducing emissions, understanding the differences in aftertreatment systems for various fuel types is crucial. The adoption and growth of hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE) is a significant step as hydrogen ICE provides a low-emission, low-carbon option for a more sustainable transportation sector. The mechanisms that clean exhaust gases in these engines are fundamen
Is electrification the only decarbonization option for the bus and coach industry right now? That's a key question that will no doubt be asked at the National Bus & Coach Show at Brisbane's Exhibition Centre from September 17-18 as the optimism and uncertainties of the future collide with the realities of the moment. While battery electric vehicles may eventually dominate the landscape,
A change of heart Before deciding to repower his K104 Kenworth with a Cummins Inc. X15 Euro 3 engine, Jason Cocks weighed up all the economics in what eventually became a clear-cut verdict. "I looked at every cost aspect, including rebuilding the C15 which was the original engine in the truck," he says. "But in the end there were several factors strongly in favour of Cummins. "The project
