Cummins Group India has announced that it will present its 'Destination Zero' decarbonisation strategy and product range at the 16th Auto Expo in New Delhi next month.
The products will be demonstrated through a fuel-agnostic platform, hydrogen ICE, natural gas engine and latest generation diesel and will include electrolyser (for green hydrogen generation), hydrogen fuel cell, electric powertrain technology and battery electric technology.
The fuel-agnostic platform will provide OEMs, fleet managers, and operators with the flexibility of adopting low and zero-carbon fuel based on infrastructure availability, needs of the transport operations, and yet optimising the economics of the transportation, a press release from Cummins said.
Meanwhile, as a part of the fuel-agonistic platform, the hydrogen ICE paired with green hydrogen will produce zero well-to-wheel CO2 emissions and provide solutions addressing medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses.
Notably, Destination Zero is Cummins' strategy to go further and faster to reduce its products' greenhouse gas and air quality impacts and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Under this, the group is pursuing a dual-path approach – acting today to reduce emissions from internal combustion engines while investing in new, zero-emissions products.
Ashwath Ram, Managing Director, Cummins Group India, noted that climate change is the existential crisis of the hour and should be mitigated urgently.
'India has set itself the ambitious target of reaching net zero by 2070. The commercial transportation sector has a major role to play in helping the country meet this goal,' he added.
Anjali Pandey, Chief Operating Officer, Cummins Group India, said, 'Cummins Group in India has always believed in bringing the right technology that matters for our customer's success at the right time.'
She added that the company is making significant investments to introduce fit-for-market, green powertrain solutions that will be made in India, for India and the world.
'Our strategy incorporates a 'well-to-wheels' emissions reductions approach by matching technology readiness with infrastructure readiness, driving wide-scale adoption and helping lower TCO,' Pandey added.
