Cummins

What Cummins does

Cummins Inc. is a global power technology company founded in 1919 and headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, that designs, manufactures, and services diesel, natural gas, hydrogen, and battery-electric powertrains for commercial and industrial markets. The company's core product portfolio spans 407+ engine products ranging from 49 hp to 4,400 hp across on-highway trucks, off-highway construction and mining equipment, agriculture, marine propulsion, rail, defense, oil and gas, and stationary power generation. Its proprietary HELM fuel-agnostic platform allows a single engine architecture (X15, X10, B-Series) to operate on diesel, natural gas, hydrogen, or gasoline through modular fuel system changes, while flagship high-horsepower generator sets such as the QSK95 and QSK78 serve data centers and mission-critical facilities with ratings up to 37 MW per installation.

Cummins generates revenue primarily through hardware sales across four streams: Engine Sales (heavy-duty, medium-duty, and high-horsepower engines), Generators and Power Systems (generator sets, alternators, transfer switches, battery energy storage systems, and microgrid solutions), Parts and Service (aftermarket parts, ReCon remanufactured components, PowerCare service agreements), Components (fuel systems, turbochargers, aftertreatment, drivetrain, braking systems), and Accelera zero-emission solutions (battery systems, electrolyzers, ePowertrain systems). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, operating through multi-year enterprise contracts with fleet operators, OEMs, and industrial customers. Distribution flows through a global network of more than 9,000 service and distributor locations across 190+ countries, supplemented by OEM partnerships with truck makers (Ram, Mack, Volvo, International) and direct enterprise sales teams serving data center operators, mining companies, and major fleets.

The company operates approximately 67,400 employees globally and reported $33.7 billion in FY2025 revenue with a market capitalization of approximately $96.6 billion. Cummins is executing a strategic pivot under Chair and CEO Jennifer Rumsey, capitalizing on AI-driven data center power demand (notably a 2GW supply agreement with Circe Energy for a West Texas AI campus) while divesting the low-pressure hydrogen fuel cell business to Alstom for $175 million in 2026 to focus on higher-return zero-emission technologies through the Accelera brand.
