Is electrification the only decarbonization option for the bus and coach industry right now? That’s a key question that will no doubt be asked at the National Bus & Coach Show at Brisbane’s Exhibition Centre from September 17-18 as the optimism and uncertainties of the future collide with the realities of the moment. While battery electric vehicles may eventually dominate the landscape, the current limitations of vehicle cost, range and supporting infrastructure still need to be addressed.

Cummins Inc.'s Australian-made PGXL coolants are widely accepted in the mining industry, providing superior protection across all diesel engine brands. In supporting remote mine operations, Cummins provides a well-established bulk coolant delivery service, eliminating the need for miners to manage their coolant inventory. Cummins takes care of all the logistics, delivering the coolant directly to the minesite. The PGXL production facility in Melbourne has the capacity to deliver 30 million litres of coolant per annum, so supply is readily available.

In 2017, mining contractor HSE began what has turned out to be a highly successful upgrade of its 2500 hp Cummins Inc. QSK60 engines to reduce its carbon footprint at the South Walker Creek coal mine in Queensland’s Bowen Basin in Australia.
