SUSTAINABILITY IS YOUR FUTURE.

AND OURS.
Among transportation industries, the rail industry PLANET 2050 ASPIRATIONAL TARGETS
is already ahead of the curve in terms of efficiency
and emissions.
Rail’s journey towards a zero-carbon future has
many destinations along the way. Today’s emissions
landscape is already complex, and the industry’s
plans for new equipment and repowers depend
on how regulations evolve.

THE COMPLEXITIES OF EMISSIONS

ƒ\ Unique standards can apply to locomotives,
railcars, track maintenance machinery and
auxiliary power
ƒ\ E.U. emissions limits for locomotives are only
partially aligned with U.S. emission standards
ƒ\ Track maintenance equipment can be classified
as mobile machinery with different regulations TECHNOLOGY IS THE KEY
around the world The future starts now. Cummins’ cleaner technologies
like near zero natural gas products and nearer to zero
With our leadership in combustion research, fuel, diesel, are making immediate positive impacts across
air-handling, aftertreatment and controls systems, rail worldwide.
we can integrate the most appropriate emissions
control technology into each equipment unit and We’re driving innovation everywhere that will make

no-carbon technologies that will power rail tomorrow. ƒ\ Advanced energy solutions

Wherever you are on your carbon reduction journey,
we’re your partner every step of the way.
PLANET 2050
Through Planet 2050, Cummins pledges to address
climate change, support communities and use
resources wisely. It’s one reason why we’re the partner
today’s rail industry needs.
We’re developing integrated engine system technologies
and controls. We work with partners to integrate our
products and services in the autonomous vehicles of
the future. And through the huge power of data and
connectivity solutions like Cummins PrevenTech®, we
can drive efficiencies further still, to reduce maintenance
and become even more efficient.

Green hydrogen is coming. National governments,

Some of these will generate green hydrogen, set up
the infrastructure and increase investment. That will make
green hydrogen more available for rail operations.

Hydrogen can:
ƒ\ Store surplus renewable power when the grid
