What a Visit to Cummins Tells us About the Future of Truck Engines

Cummins recently invited transportation journalists to Columbus, Indiana to discuss zero and near-zero emissions powertrain products it has in development, including a 6.7-liter engine that runs on 87 octane gasoline, and an battery-electric drivetrain for a Class 7 delivery truck. Jack Roberts and Jim Park share their observations on these two vehicles as well as the company's plans to position itself as a leading global provider of alternative powertrain products.
