Diesel Engine Giant Cummins Plans Hydrogen Future–With Trains Coming Before Trucks
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Forbes.
It is very much a must-read article about how Cummins, who are a traditional diesel engine manufacturer is embracing hydrogen technology.
Trains Before Trucks
As the title says, they are starting with trains rather than trucks.
They have started by building a factory to make fuel cells for Alstom’s Coradia iLint, as I wrote about in Cummins To Build Railway Fuel Cell Factory.
Reading the Forbes article, it appears that the decision has been made to focus on trains and buses, is because they run fixed subsidised routes and you only need a couple of hydrogen filling stations at the ends of the route. But for trucks, you need full infrastructure.
