All are backed by the broad support capability of Cummins experts, globally. Earlier this year, Cummins enhanced its efforts to commercialize its electrification capabilities, bringing together Cummins knowledge and significant experience in the electrified powertrain space. In addition, the company is exploring potentially partnering with others to ensure development of leading technology in energy storage, power electronics, traction motor systems and component control for commercial applications. Cummins will begin electrified powertrain delivery in 2019, including battery electric and plug-in hybrids. These are just the first steps as the company signals its intention to be the leading provider of electrified powertrains in the commercial and industrial markets. Today, Cummins delivers zero emissions natural gas engine systems that are a great fit for urban areas addressing air quality is- sues and requirements. Natural gas engine technology can have a very low carbon footprint and can even be considered car- bon negative when paired with renewable natural gas. Today’s natural gas engines and fuel systems are better than ever, vehicles have a much longer range, main- tenance is improved, and fueling station availability has expanded – all of which lead to significantly improved uptime and total cost of ownership for fleets. Additionally, Cummins has invested in R&D projects to build capability to develop products utilizing a wide range of fuels. The company is developing high efficiency gasoline technology that can deliver diesel- like performance and durability, meeting the most stringent emission requirements while maintaining competitive fuel economy.
