Hydrogen’s historical link to the Hindenburg disaster is receding as its use as a transportation fuel grows.

Batteries. Electrified components. Fuel cells. Cummins Inc. has plans for all of them. But hydrogen-making electrolyzers top the list.

La separación de átomos de hidrógeno y oxígeno crece como combustible para los camiones y otras industrias

With a goal of decarbonizing the economy, numerous companies are adopting centuries-old electrolysis to split oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

Cummins Inc. adds Minnesota to a growing list of global sites where it is manufacturing electrolyzers for green hydrogen.

With globally common hoses and hardware, hydrogen fuel cell truck supporters think they have closed the gap with diesel fueling times.

The stalled truck engine business will recover as it always does. But Cummins isn’t waiting around as it charges into making hydrogen and fuel cells for trains, ships and trucks.

The cost of hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric trucking could drop 50% by the end of the decade, making it competitive with other clean energy options and even conventional fuels like diesel.

Cummins Inc. closed its $290 million purchase of fuel cell maker Hydrogenics on September 9, the second major investment in fuel cell technology in less than a week.
