Although electric-car manufacturer Tesla is garnering its fair share of attention and headlines regarding electric trucks lately, veteran truck engine manufacturer Cummins Inc., Columbus, Ind., quietly maneuvered into place and beat Tesla off the starting line in late August. As of press time, Tesla is planning to introduce its new electric truck in late September.
Cummins recently unveiled its latest power solutions and energy-diverse products, demonstrating the company’s desire to be at the forefront of new technology. The company debuted its latest near-zero natural gas engine technology, super-efficient diesel engines and shared its plans to introduce what it says will be a “revolutionary” heavy-duty diesel engine in 2022.
