COLUMBUS, Ind. — Werner Enterprises, a logistics provider, has signed a letter of intent to purchase 500 hydrogen-powered engines from Cummins Inc. The company says it plans to integrate Cummins’ 15-liter natural gas and X15H hydrogen engines into its fleet.
“We are pleased to see the leadership of customers like Werner Enterprises, who are exploring solutions like our fuel agnostic platform to help their customers. The future includes many solutions to help customers decarbonize, and we believe hydrogen internal combustion engines will play an important role,” said VP Brett Merritt, at Cummins.
Hydrogen engines can use zero-carbon green hydrogen fuel, produced by Cummins-manufactured electrolyzers. The production of the engines is part of Destination Zero – Cummins’ strategy to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) and air quality impacts of its products and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
