How Does a Diesel Engine Start?So how does a diesel engine turn fuel into power? Diesel engines operate using the same four strokes as gas engines:Intake stroke: In this phase, the piston travels from top dead center (TDC) to bottom dead center (BDC). This results in low pressure inside the cylinder

Have you ever looked at a truck or large piece of machinery and wondered where its power comes from? The answer is simple: diesel engines.From passenger cars and trucks to railroad locomotives, farming equipment, and even cargo ships, diesel engines power some of the vehicles our world relies on mos

Have you ever heard the phrase, “doing more with less?” Advanced diesel engines are specifically engineered to minimize fuel emissions while also achieving optimum performance through high torque and horsepower. There are thousands of applications for advanced diesel engines, from buses and trains to agricultural equipment, mining, boats, and barges—all these and more run on diesel. As global emission regulations tighten, the migration to advanced diesel engines, among other solutions, has begun in earnest.

The future of our planet depends on a decarbonized economy. At Cummins Inc., we see the path to net zero involves both developing advanced internal combustion engines which can be deployed today, and innovating zero-emission solutions in markets where the infrastructure is ready. Cummins estimates that advancing both ways will contribute to 1.4 gigatons of cumulative carbon reduction. That’s the equivalent of removing all trucks from the road for three years.
