This is an engine platform that can burn any fuel, although not all at the same time. This means the engine is almost the same no matter what fuel it uses, but with slight adaptions for every type of fuel. This saves development time and production money and allows for increased flexibility for Cummins’ customers.
Different engines based on a similar platform/base. Not one engine that will burn any fuel. Don’t we already have that?


Depending on the fuel type, these engines will be more or less clean, but that does not change the fact that internal combustion engines have an intrinsic low efficiency.
Not the most efficient power source no matter how you slice it.
