India Key To Cummins' Global Hydrogen ICE Strategy
The US-based engine manufacturer sees the strong interest in hydrogen fuel in India as a way to advance its own net zero transition
As the global transportation sector shifts towards sustainable mobility, one of the companies betting big on hydrogen playing a central role in the future of long-distance transportation is Cummins Inc. The company sees hydrogen fuel cells as the ultimate solution for heavy-duty trucks, while cleaner diesel, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE) serve as immediate, lower-emission alternatives.
"We are witnessing strong global interest in hydrogen technology, and India is leading the way—both in terms of hydrogen production and policy-driven adoption," said Jane Beaman, Vice President for Global On-Highway and Pickup Business at Cummins Inc.
