Cummins announced today Jonathan Wood has been named Vice President \u2013 New Power Engineering to \u00abaccelerate innovation and scale in its alternative power business segment, which houses its electrified power and hydrogen portfolio\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs we move toward our goal of zero emissions<\/strong>, we are faced with increasing technology complexities, and we need to continue to shape the technical organisation of our business with the right balance of process, startup culture and agility, underpinned with a unifying vision as we innovate and scale,\u201d said Amy Davis<\/strong>, Vice President and President \u2013 New Power. \u201cJon\u2019s past experiences ushering in technological changes will serve our customers and our communities well as we navigate through this transition to decarbonised power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The name of the bigger independent engine builder in the world is nearly synonymous of \u2018internal combustion engine\u2019. But things are changing, and Cummins is reorganizing its activities around a new pillar: electric drive<\/strong> technology. That means battery-electric as well as hydrogen. While (of course!) keeping a strong focus on the development of clean diesel and gas powered engines, that today are still the most efficient and convenient solutions for transport application all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCummins on the way to zero emission mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
