Cummins Inc., a global leader in power and technology, successfully acquired Meritor, Inc., a renowned supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking, aftermarket and electric powertrain solutions for commercial vehicle and industrial markets. The acquisition was completed in August 2022, and Cummins has since integrated Meritor's core business into its own, leveraging its extensive sales and service network and strong customer relationships worldwide.

Throughout the last few years, Cummins Inc. has partnered with multiple companies to provide solutions for customers beyond engines. Cummins HELM™ X15N™ natural gas powertrain offers optimal performance and meets the needs of fleets looking for more sustainable fuel options.

The trucking industry is moving towards cleaner, more efficient engines – and the Cummins X15N™ natural gas engine is a big step in that direction. This article explores the X15N’s new features and improvements that were developed based on customer feedback and experiences with the 12-liter ISX12N™, our first natural gas engine designed for use in class 8 trucks. The X15N embodies Cummins’ dedication to innovation and our dedication to customers and their feedback.

As we enter the energy transition in the transportation industry, alternative power continues to emerge, many grounded on the technologies, designs and innovations of our existing power sources like diesel engines. Battery electric powertrains are increasingly popular, due to their zero emissions status, low upkeep costs and simplified maintenance, but not everyone is ready to switch to electric powertrains or advanced diesel powertrains.
