103-year-old startup? Cummins’ New Power sector signals evolving identity

Striking a cultural balance between old-line manufacturer and startup-minded developer of hydrogen and electrification technologies foreshadows a day when Cummins Inc. will be better known for low-carbon initiatives than the diesel engines that marked the company’s first century.

The question of a transition to a new identity doesn’t take CEO Tom Linebarger by surprise, though it is not the kind of query he usually fields from industry analysts on quarterly earnings calls.

“I think at its core...

We looked for insights from a few transcripts of Q3 analyst calls. Also, there is another industry shortage as acute as the much-publicized paucity of truck drivers.

Future fuel injection?

Cummins Inc. hasn’t said much about its plans to make a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine. But we know a little more following this...

Background

Nicolas Carnot, a mechanical engineer in the French Army, as well as a military scientist and physicist, is often labeled as the “father of thermodynamics.” At the age of 27 Carnot published a book, Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire (Paris, 1824). In his book Carnot wrote the first “successful theory of the maximum efficiency of heat engines,” as well as outlining the idea of the internal combustion engine. In doing so, he began the discipline of thermodynamics. Carnot’s writing...

China Rebuffs Musk’s Ideas & Goes Ahead With Hydrogen Fuel Cells

  • Elon Musk has spent years mocking the idea of using hydrogen fuel cells rather than electric batteries to power next-generation green vehicles.
  • “Fuel cells = fool sells,” the boss of the world’s top electric-car maker tweeted in June.
    China, the world’s biggest market for electric vehicles, isn’t so quick to dismiss the alternative to batteries.
  • Officials are promoting the development of hydrogen-powered cars, trucks and buses, with Beijing offering to reward cities that achieve adoption...
