Cummins and Chevron advance strategic collaboration

The collaboration is expected to encompass other liquid renewable fuels, such as renewable gasoline blends, biodiesel and renewable diesel and is intended to encourage commercial and industrial adoption in North America.

Jennifer Rumsey, President and CEO, Cummins Inc., said: “At Cummins, we are working to bring our Destination Zero strategy to life, and we recognise we cannot do this alone. Through Accelera by Cummins we have zero-emissions technologies for commercial and industrial applications, and we continue to offer a broad portfolio of engine-based solutions that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions today. By collaborating strategically with Chevron, we plan to improve access to fuel and infrastructure for our customers, helping to grow the availability of alternative and renewable fuels while reducing emissions.”

Chevron’s President of Americas Products Andy Walz, said: “Collaborations like this one with Cummins are intended to make energy and global supply chains more affordable and reliable while helping commercial fleets, who use our products and Cummins’ equipment, to advance a lower carbon world. No one company or industry can go at it alone – together with Cummins, we aim to deliver progress today.”

Cummins and Chevron have contributed to the research, development and global deployment of alternative fuels innovation, systems and technologies and will work together on enabling the commercial development at scale of alternative fuels production, transportation and delivery systems for industrial and commercial markets, with target consumption by transportation vehicles of the type manufactured by Cummins. Workstreams in the new collaboration focus on hydrogen, natural gas, and other alternative lower carbon intensity fuels such as renewable gasoline blend, biodiesel, renewable diesel, compressed natural gas, and other liquid renewables to expand commercial adoption.
