Cummins Inc. electrolyzers producing low-carbon green hydrogen are part of an innovative effort in Germany to create a carbon neutral urban neighborhood.

The Neue Weststadt (New West Town) neighborhood is in Esslingen, Germany, a city of more than 90,000 people in the southern part of the country. The neighborhood spans over 100,000 square meters with over 450 apartments, office buildings and commercial space. According to officials, a neighborhood of this nature, on a converted freight yard and some three years in the making, has never been attempted before.

Gymnastics gold medalist Suni Lee isn’t the only one in her family who demonstrated incredible perseverance to achieve a goal.

Lee’s father John, a Cummins Power Systems product engineer from Shoreview, Minnesota, has returned to work after falling while helping a friend trim a tree in 2019. The fall left him paralyzed from the chest down.

Cummins Inc. joined more than 90 other companies, associations and various other organizations in signing a letter in this week’s New York Times urging a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children.

As he guides Cummins Inc. and its customers toward a carbon-neutral world, Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger is taking the lead on alternative energy on another global stage.
