Cummins is announcing that it is expanding its industry-leading powertrain platforms, with industry-first fuel-agnostic internal combustion powertrain solutions. This newest announcement comes as the next step in the Cummins' destination zero strategy.

Cummins announced a few days ago that it is expanding its industry-leading powertrain platforms, leveraging a range of lower carbon fuel types. As the industry's first unified, fuel-agnostic engines, these platforms will use engine blocks and core components that share common architectures and will be optimized for different low-carbon fuel types.

"Getting to zero is not a light-switch event. Carbon emissions that we put into the atmosphere today will have a lasting impact. This means anything we can do to start reducing the carbon footprint today is a win for the planet. We need to take action now," said Srikanth Padmanabhan, President, Cummins Engine Business. "Having a variety of lower carbon options is particularly important considering the variation in duty cycles and operating environments across the many markets we serve. There is no single solution or "magic bullet" that will work for all application types or all end users." A video on the powertrains solutions is available to view here.
