Company Overview

Cummins Inc. is a global power solutions company operating primarily in the industrial manufacturing, engine, and energy technology industries. The company designs, manufactures, distributes, and services a broad portfolio of power systems used in on-highway vehicles, off-highway equipment, power generation, marine, rail, and defense applications. Cummins’ core revenue drivers include the sale of diesel and natural gas engines, powertrain components, power generation systems, and aftermarket parts and services, supported by a large global distribution network.

Founded in 1919, Cummins has evolved from a diesel engine manufacturer into a diversified power technology company with increasing emphasis on lower-emission and zero-emission solutions. The company’s strategic positioning is built on its vertically integrated capabilities, long-standing customer relationships with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and a global service and distribution footprint. Cummins maintains a competitive advantage through scale, engineering expertise, regulatory compliance capabilities, and early investments in alternative power technologies.

Business Operations

Cummins operates through several primary business segments: Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems, and New Power. The Engine segment designs and manufactures diesel and natural gas engines for heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks, buses, and industrial markets. The Components segment supplies key technologies such as turbochargers, filtration systems, fuel systems, and emissions solutions, many of which are sold both internally and to external OEM customers.

The Distribution segment provides aftermarket parts, service, and support through company-owned and independent distributors, while the Power Systems segment focuses on power generation equipment, high-horsepower engines, and turnkey energy solutions. The New Power segment develops hydrogen production technologies, fuel cells, battery systems, and electric powertrains. Cummins operates manufacturing and service facilities globally and maintains joint ventures, including longstanding partnerships in China, to support localized production and market access.

Strategic Position & Investments

Cummins’ strategic direction centers on balancing its core internal combustion engine business with accelerated investment in decarbonization and energy transition technologies. The company’s growth initiatives include advancing fuel-agnostic engine platforms, expanding its hydrogen ecosystem capabilities, and scaling electrified powertrain solutions through the New Power segment. Cummins has committed significant capital to research and development to meet increasingly stringent global emissions standards while preserving profitability in its legacy businesses.

Major acquisitions and investments have supported this strategy, including the acquisition of Meritor, Inc., which expanded Cummins’ capabilities in drivetrain, braking, and electric axle technologies. Cummins also holds stakes in and operates subsidiaries focused on electrolyzers, fuel cells, and battery storage systems. These investments position the company to serve emerging markets in zero-emission transportation, industrial decarbonization, and distributed energy generation.

Cummins is headquartered in North America, with its principal executive offices in Columbus, Indiana, and operates in more than 190 countries and territories. The company maintains a strong market presence across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East, supported by manufacturing plants, technical centers, and distribution hubs on multiple continents.

International operations account for a substantial portion of revenue, with significant production and joint venture activities in China, India, and Brazil. Cummins’ global footprint enables localized manufacturing, regulatory alignment, and customer support, while its international investments enhance resilience against regional economic cycles and regulatory changes.
