Que: Can you tell us what Cummins is showcasing at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025?

Ans: At our pavilion, we're showcasing several groundbreaking solutions. Our new-generation long-haul diesel offerings include the BSVI ready L10 engine. It delivers high power-density to enhance the productivity in mining and logistics operations, aligning with India’s growing expressway.

Additionally, we are demonstrating the B6.7N natural gas engine, offering diesel-like performance. The B6.7N engine enables the adoption of natural gas in heavy-duty vehicles, supporting the transition to low-carbon fuel alternatives.

An important highlight is our advanced hydrogen fuel delivery system, with TYPE IV tanks, designed by NPROXX. These tanks, already proven in the global markets, enable efficient on-board hydrogen storage for long range operations in heavy duty vehicles. By ensuring a safe storage, the system paves the way for hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles in India
Apart from the products, we are also displaying several comprehensive component technologies such as advanced braking, mechanical, and e-axles from Cummins Drivetrain Braking System, next generation aftertreatment systems for emission control, twin-stage turbochargers for enhanced engine performance, and advanced sensors, electronic control module (ECM) and fuel system technologies.

We are also featuring a demo truck equipped with our hydrogen internal combustion engine and fuel delivery system, representing our vision for zero-carbon transportation.

Que: With next-generation technologies emerging worldwide, what technological advancements is Cummins adopting to stay ahead of the curve?

Ans: At Cummins, innovation isn't just about developing new technologies, it's about creating comprehensive solutions that address current challenges and unlock future possibilities. With over a century of global experience and more than six decades of presence in India, we have developed a deep understanding of end-user applications across various segments.

We recognize that the energy transition requires multiple solutions to meet diverse customer needs while advancing sustainability goals. Guided by our Destination Zero strategy, we offer a broad portfolio of solutions tailored to specific needs of customers such as natural gas-powered vehicles for immediate carbon reduction, hydrogen internal combustion engines and fuel cells for zero-carbon emissions, and hybrid technologies combining multiple energy sources.

Collaborating closely with customers, we ensure these sustainable solutions align with performance targets while remaining accessible and affordable. Drawing on over a century of R&D expertise, we are uniquely positioned to guide customers through this transition, balancing performance, cost, and environmental impact to offer efficient and reliable solutions. We remain committed to powering a cleaner, more efficient future through innovations that serve our customers’ needs.

Que: With sustainability becoming a priority for every industry, what initiatives is Cummins undertaking across its ecosystem?

Ans: At Cummins, sustainability begins with our own operations. Our comprehensive environmental sustainability strategy, Planet 2050, is aimed at addressing climate change and promoting sustainable practices across the company and its operations.

This commitment goes beyond emission reduction and includes waste management, water conservation, and overall environmental stewardship. Through robust monitoring systems, we track our progress to ensure that we are heading in the right direction.

Building on this foundation, we extend our commitment across our supply chain. We actively collaborate with our suppliers to implement sustainable practices, such as replacing plastic packaging with eco-friendly alternatives. This approach helps in creating a more environmentally responsible supply chain ecosystem.

Additionally, we actively engage with local communities to promote sustainable development. For instance, in Pune, Maharashtra, we run educational programs in schools to educate students on reducing plastic waste and adopting eco-friendly habits. These initiatives help create awareness and drive environmentally conscious behaviors from an early age.

By embracing this comprehensive approach, that covers our operations, supply chain, customers, and communities, we are working to create a lasting positive impact and drive long-term sustainability goals.

Que: How have government policies and incentives impacted the auto solutions industry, and how is Cummins addressing these changes?

Ans: Government policies are playing a crucial role in shaping India’s transition to cleaner mobility solutions. Initiatives such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, the National Hydrogen Green Mission, and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) and PM-E Drive schemes are creating a supportive framework for sustainable transportation technologies. Additional programs such as incentives for solar and renewable energy adoption are further strengthening the ecosystem for clean energy transition.

At Cummins, we actively collaborate with industry bodies, policymakers, and government agencies to provide insights on policy impact and suggest areas for improvement. While these initiatives have been beneficial, we recognize that infrastructure development remains crucial to support a sustainable energy transition in the country.

We remain committed to working alongside the government and industry players to ensure continued growth in clean energy adoption and contribute to building a robust infrastructure ecosystem.

Que: What are your expectations from this expo?

Ans: The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 is a key platform for showcasing cutting-edge mobility technologies. The presence of our honorable Prime Minister also underscored the government’s strong commitment to innovation and industry advancement, adding significant momentum to the event.

For Cummins, this expo offers a unique opportunity to highlight our latest innovations and emerging solutions to industry leaders, customers, and the public. Beyond product demonstrations, the event serves as a critical space for discussions on sustainability, energy security, and decarbonization. We expect that the expo continues to drive important conversations and strengthens India’s position as a leader in clean energy innovation, highlighting our progress in sustainable transportation.
