environmental impact of these technologies.
Our ability to bring these different aspects
together in a coordinated way that allows us
to most effectively drive technology change
over time is one of the things that I worry
about and think about a lot."
Diesel engines will remain the
predominant power source across many of
Cummins' markets for the next 5-10 years,
according to Rumsey. "At the same time, we
see growing adoption of lower-carbon
alternate solutions such as natural gas,
electric hybrid, and full-electric products."
Cross-market technology sharing is not a
thing of the past, despite unique challenges
for the different heavy-duty markets,
particularly when it comes to electrifying
such varied products. "We're looking at how
we continue to drive economies of scale and
leverage our technical and infrastructure
investments across on- and off-highway,"
she said. "What that looks like today may be
different as we think about electrification
and where we might reuse key components
of that system across different markets."
Fuel cells also are on the docket for
discussion at COMVEC this year. The
technology has garnered more attention
over the past year as several manufacturers
have announced plans to pursue the power
source, especially for long-haul trucking but
also some off-highway applications.
"They're starting to develop in some
niche applications and in China where

there's a lot of incentives around fuel cell
technology," Rumsey said.
Cummins is examining both PEM (proton
exchange membrane) as well as solid-oxide
fuel cells, but work is still in the early
development and demonstration phase. "At
this point, we don't have production-intent
systems, which we do on the electric side,"
she said, adding that a full-electric
powertrain will go into production soon in
an urban bus application.
