Cummins Enters Collaboration To Demonstrate Hydrogen Ecosystem

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article from Rental Management.

This is the first three paragraphs.

Cummins®, Columbus, Ind., has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Terex® Advance Mixer, Fort Wayne, Ind., a subsidiary of Terex Corp.; Edge Materials, Cloverdale, Ind.; and PCC Hydrogen, Louisville, Ky., to produce, trial and prove concrete mixer trucks powered by Cummins’ zero-carbon, hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines.

The project aims to develop a full hydrogen ecosystem together with a hydrogen producer, vehicle manufacturer and end user. It is the first MoU of its kind signed by Cummins.

he four companies will unite their efforts, which will see Cummins’ X15H hydrogen internal combustion engines integrated into the Terex Advance Commander Series of front-discharge concrete mixer trucks. Edge Materials, a ready-mix concrete provider and Terex Advance customers will operate the hydrogen-powered trucks in challenging real-world environments including on construction sites and critical infrastructure projects. PCC Hydrogen, an ultra-low carbon intensity hydrogen producer, will supply the hydrogen fuel as well as stationary storage and dispensing services.

Note.

1. The X15H engine also comes in diesel and natural gas versions.
2. Cummins also make electrolysers, that can produce hydrogen.
3. It looks like the collaboration has all bases covered.
4. I suspect similar deals could be done all over the world and with other types of trucks.

It all sounds like a sensible way to go to me.
