INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 1, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Cummins Inc. has reached another major milestone in its effort to address the world’s climate challenges, announcing an agreement to acquire Meritor, Inc., a global leader of drivetrain, mobility, braking and electric powertrain solutions.
At a meeting this week with analysts and shareholders, the leadership team at Cummins Inc. said decarbonization is a growth opportunity for the company.
The team said the global power leader is well positioned as one of the few companies capable of providing integrated solutions across a range of combustion and electrified powertrains, so customers can choose what works best for them.
Global power leader Cummins Inc. is developing the industry’s first unified, fuel-agnostic engines, using engine blocks and core components sharing common architectures that can be optimized for different low-carbon fuel types.
Hydrogen fuel cells could play a critical role in decarbonizing the global freight and transportation network. A new video from global power leader Cummins Inc. explains why.
The President of Cummins Inc.’s Engine business segment says hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (ICEs) hold tremendous potential in the effort to address the world’s climate challenges.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of May 2020, the median wage for diesel service technicians and mechanics was $50,200, however that is just the middle of the pay scale. Some heavy-duty technicians make as much as $72,000 to $93,000 per year.
Cummins Inc. Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger joined other corporate leaders at the White House Wednesday, January 26, making the case for aggressive action on climate change.
“My view is we’re out of time to protect our climate and we’re out of time to make sure that American companies are the ones that lead the world in these technologies,” Linebarger told President Biden. “When we invest, we can win, and we can create jobs for our workers here in the United States.”
The endgame is clear: Destination Zero. The journey to get there is complex.
