Cummins - Experts & Thought Leaders

To say it's been a pleasure attending InstallerSHOW 2022 is an understatement! They had an amazing time at the UK’s largest heating, plumbing and renewables trade show and didn’t want it to end! Their commercial team: Bruce MacPherson (CCO), Robert Illsley (Sales Director), Elisa Alexieva (Brand Marketing Manager), Kiren Matharu (Marketing Assistant) as well as their co-founder & CTO, Carlton Cummins got to network with people in the industry, learn more about customers’ challenges, and take home knowledge that can be applied to provide better support. Clean energy multiplier A huge thanks to everyone who visited their stand and showed interest in the world’s first fully modular and serviceable energy storage system, Offgen. The system is flexible (off-grid + grid-tie) and scalable, growing with the households’ increased energy requirements. Its unique features give installers the benefit of easy installation (indoor or outdoor), the opportunity for building repeat business by returning to customers for service, repair and upgrade over time, as well as the chance to pioneer a circular approach to energy storage. Thanks to the design, it has a potentially endless lifespan which will keep long-term costs down and is much kinder to the environment. It has the ability to work with the grid, storing the cheapest electricity to be used during peak tariffs, to be used in an off-grid setting in combination with solar PV, or as a clean energy multiplier (for example, pairing it with a heat pump). It was insightful to hear first-hand from installers how the Offgen could make a positive difference to their business. All in all, they had plenty going on over the three days and would like to give gratitude to the Show organisers for making the event a huge success! It truly was a ‘Great Industry Get Together’ and they look forward to attending the 2023 exhibition!

Recently, ZOOMLION's Shanghai Industrial Park welcomed new clients from Australia. Drawn by its reputation, the Australian client toured Zoomlion's intelligent rotary drilling rig production line, gaining in-depth insights into the products.  ZR140 rotary drilling rig The ZR140 rotary drilling rig, nicknamed the "Soil Drilling Prodigy," perfectly met the construction needs in Australia. It immediately won high recognition and favor from the clients, leading to a swift order placement. The equipment has been successfully delivered to New South Wales, Australia.  operational performance As a flagship product of ZOOMLION Foundation Construction Machinery, the ZR140 rotary drilling rig has gained widespread recognition worldwide for its superior operational performance and powerful drilling and lifting capabilities. Its multi-gear controlled rotary drive design allows for flexible adaptation to various complex working conditions, demonstrating exceptional versatility. ZR140 and ZR160L Under equivalent operating conditions, they can achieve approximately 10% fuel savings Zoomlion’s classic small-sized rotary drilling rigs include the ZR140 and ZR160L. They offer excellent adaptability to working conditions, paired with the powerful Cummins electronically controlled engine and Zoomlion’s self-developed electronic control and hydraulic systems, ensuring higher efficiency output. Under equivalent operating conditions, they can achieve approximately 10% fuel savings, demonstrating an excellent efficiency ratio. quality and performance Local equipment operators in Australia were highly impressed with the quality and performance of Zoomlion’s rotary drilling rigs after hands-on operation. They remarked, "Zoomlion's products far exceed our expectations in both quality and performance. They are truly reliable!" Moving forward, Zoomlion will continue to uphold its corporate philosophy of 'Sincerity and Excellence, Broad and Enduring', providing global clients with high-quality, efficient, and environmentally friendly engineering machinery solutions to build a better future together.

A Cummins Inc.-led project to develop battery charging and hydrogen (H2) fueling stations along the Interstate 80 Midwest Corridor will accelerate with the Biden Administration’s announcement this week of the standards and funding for the National Network of Electric Vehicle Chargers. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed in 2021, invests $7.5 billion in electric vehicle (EV) charging, $10 billion in other forms of clean transportation and over $7 billion in EV battery components, critical minerals and materials. One of the projects on the select list is Cummins’ Medium-Duty, Heavy-Duty Zero Emissions Vehicle (MD-HD ZEV) Infrastructure Planning with a focus on the I-80 Midwest Corridor. Net-zero emissions In less than two years, the project will develop an extensive, two-phase MD-HD ZEV charging and H2 Fueling Plan for a corridor serving Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. The plan would support 30% of the MD-HD fleet expected to be using ZEV technologies by 2035, potentially benefitting millions of drivers across 23 states. The plan would support 30% of the MD-HD fleet expected to be using ZEV technologies by 2035 “With Destination Zero, our strategy to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, we are investing in a broad portfolio of power solutions, leveraging our deep understanding of our customers as we work to decarbonize our industry in a way that is best for all stakeholders,” says Jennifer Rumsey, President and CEO at Cummins. Zero-emission vehicle corridors “We can’t do it alone; it will take all of us – policy makers and peer companies – working together to address a challenge of this magnitude as decarbonization of our economy is critical to our way of life and a sustainable future,” said Jennifer Rumsey, adding “Today’s announcement is a promising step forward in advancing our shared goals of getting to net-zero.” Cummins has pledged to play a leadership role in addressing the world’s climate challenges. This funding will accelerate the creation of zero-emission vehicle corridors that expand the nation’s EV charging infrastructure, with the vision of building 500,000 EV chargers by 2030 and delivering a convenient, reliable and Made-in-America EV charging network. Selected projects also support the DOE’s Justice40 priorities by demonstrating the impacts and benefits of these freight corridors plans on underserved communities.
