What Cummins Clean Fuel Technologies does

Cummins Clean Fuel Technologies, formerly Momentum Fuel Technologies (founded 2015), is a 50/50 joint venture between Cummins Inc. and Rush Enterprises, finalized in January 2022 and headquartered in Roanoke, Texas. The company designs and manufactures compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems for Class 6-8 commercial vehicles, with approximately 25 employees and a 110,000 sq ft manufacturing facility that was expanded by 50% in May 2023. Its product line includes Back of Cab, Front of Body, Side Mount, Roof Mount, and Tailgate Mount tank systems ranging from 30 to 175 Diesel Gallon Equivalent (DGE) capacities, supported by its proprietary GreenLync 3.0 in-dash driver message center and a Fuel Management Module that integrates with Geotab telematics. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and is an ASE Accredited Training Provider.

The company's commercial channels are anchored by factory-level integration with seven major OEMs — Peterbilt, Freightliner, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, Autocar, and Crane Carrier — alongside aftermarket support through 140+ dedicated parts and service locations and a combined 250+ location service network leveraging Cummins and Rush Enterprises distribution infrastructure. End-market focus is concentrated in Refuse and Over-the-Road fleets, with secondary exposure to Construction, Port, and Beverage applications. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

The company is positioning for an alternative-fuels transition, unveiling a hydrogen fuel storage system concept at ACT Expo in 2023 and planning a 2026 release of a lightweight Type 4 CNG tank that is 25% lighter and 27% more efficient than prior designs. Its 2022 alignment with the Cummins X15N natural gas engine in Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks extends the platform base for its CNG fuel systems.
