Cummins Strives to Meet the Challenge of a Complex Energy Transition
As the energy transition continues along a fitfully evolving progression, it becomes increasingly apparent that getting to the “net zero” emissions goals set by the various global annual climate gatherings will be far more complex than has been thus far advertised. There is in fact a pressing and growing need to develop a wide variety of carbon-reduction solutions that can meet the needs of widely-disparate applications.
Nowhere is this need more apparent than in the transportation sector, most especially in the realm of heavy-duty vehicle and engine applications. To that end, Cummins is developing a range of new engine options that will allow companies to switch from diesel to natural gas, utilize hydrogen if and when that solution becomes available, and includes fuel cells, hybrids and electric applications as well.
