The recently held ACT Expo 2025 has sparked ongoing conversations within the industry about the future of clean transportation. The event saw a diverse range of technologies on display, including renewable diesel, hydrogen, propane, natural gas, hybrid concepts, and autonomous tech. Erik Neandross of TRC emphasized the importance of showcasing all viable technologies and allowing customers to choose what works best for them.
Cummins used the expo to spotlight practical strategies for emission reductions that can be implemented immediately. This includes solutions like idle reduction, with potential fuel economy improvements of 13-17%. Their approach focuses on providing custom solutions tailored to different types of fleets, rather than a one-size-fits-all strategy.
One of the key highlights from Cummins was the X15N natural gas engine, which offers long-haul performance while significantly reducing emissions. This engine stands out for its ability to run on renewable natural gas, providing a win-win scenario with lower emissions and total cost of ownership.
The industry is moving towards a more sustainable future with a focus on operational flexibility and a mix of fuels. Cummins aims to assist fleets in making informed decisions by working closely with them to understand their goals and preferences. The company's emphasis on practical and scalable progress aligns with the overarching goal of decarbonization and emissions reduction in the transportation sector.
