Cummins Inc. is a global manufacturer of diesel and alternative fuel engines, generators, and related power components, founded in Columbus, Indiana in 1919. With a workforce of approximately 61,600 to 69,900 employees, the company operates across heavy-duty trucking, construction, rail, marine, and power generation markets worldwide.
The company's engineering work spans a broad product range, from traditional diesel engines and generators to connected digital services. In recent years, Cummins has expanded into zero-emission technologies, including hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen engines, battery electric systems, and electric power systems - efforts grouped under its Destination Zero initiative, which frames the company's shift toward cleaner energy solutions.
Cummins operates across the full product lifecycle - designing, manufacturing, selling, and servicing its equipment - giving its engineering and technical teams exposure to problems at scale. The company's customer base spans some of the most demanding applications in industry: the engines and power systems it produces run heavy-duty trucks, freight trains, construction machinery, and marine vessels.
The breadth of technical domains - from combustion engineering and powertrain components to hydrogen systems, battery integration, and digital services - reflects a company managing the transition from established technologies to emerging ones across multiple industries simultaneously.
