Cleaner power with hydrogen engines
Join Cummins on the journey towards a more sustainable future. Our innovative hydrogen engine technology has a crucial role to play in helping us reach zero emissions by 2050.
Hydrogen engines can help you reduce emissions
At Cummins, we understand the energy transition poses new challenges for all of us around the globe. That's why we're actively working to simplify the process.
Meet industry demands
Hydrogen engines are similar to the combustion engine technology that people today know, use, and trust. Because hydrogen engines are reliable, they can help make the energy transition a viable and sustainable solution.
Make a gradual transition
For companies not yet ready to transition to hydrogen engines, our broad portfolio of trusted Cummins products offers solutions for any stage of your journey to a better tomorrow.
Adhere to government regulations
As companies look to reduce there environmental impact, a renewable source like hydrogen is one of the most exciting sources for powering vehicles with zero emissions.
Future-proof your business
For buses, long-haul trucks, and even ships, hydrogen energy is the future of fuel. Because hydrogen engines have similar operational and maintenance costs to combustible engines, they're a strategic and sustainable investment.

How does a hydrogen engine work?
Hydrogen engines share many similar components to diesel engines, making them an efficient, familiar, and scalable alternative to traditional engines.
Hydrogen engines release nearly zero trace amounts of carbon dioxide, and fuel cell electric vehicles (FECVs) produce no emissions other than water vapor.
Reduced carbon footprint
Hydrogen engine technology can help you reduce greenhouse gas emissions, meet government regulations, and embrace the energy transition as you drive toward destination zero.
Unlike electric vehicles, which take vehicles off the road for extended times to charge, hydrogen engines offer quick refueling times and diesel-like performance, durability, and reliability.
