Cummins Inc. has unveiled a state-of-the-art powertrain test facility at its Darlington campus in the UK, marking a significant expansion of its European technical operations. The facility, following an investment exceeding £13 million, is designed to test powertrains utilizing various fuels, including advanced diesel, natural gas, hydrogen, and battery-electric technologies. This move places Cummins at the forefront of ultra-low and zero-emissions power technologies, aligning with the industry's focus on reducing greenhouse gas contributions and enhancing air quality. The new facility will be crucial in supporting the development of a wide range of Cummins and Accelera products, from internal combustion engines to fuel cells and batteries. It includes cutting-edge features such as robotic driving, road grade simulation, and engine duty cycle recreation. The facility expansion signifies Cummins' commitment to cleaner technologies and sustainability, allowing the company to cater to a diverse range of vehicles and machinery powered by different energy sources. The advanced dynamometers now enable Cummins engineers to develop full drivelines for on-road vehicles of various sizes and construction machines for off-road use. By incorporating energy-recovery systems and rainwater harvesting, the facility not only supports the development of cleaner power solutions but also reduces its local environmental footprint. Jonathon White, vice-president of engine business engineering at Cummins, emphasized the importance of the new facility in advancing the company's Destination Zero strategy to mitigate the environmental impact of its products. The facility's capabilities align with regulatory standards such as Euro 7 and CO2 Heavy-Duty Vehicle regulations, promoting compliance while enhancing driveability, performance, and efficiency.
