This industrial-grade equipment will allow students to perform hands-on diagnostics, tear downs, and rebuild exercises, ensuring they are familiar with the modern technologies and systems used across the industry today. This expansion of the Equipment for Education program allows students to perform hands-on diagnostics and rebuilds on the same technology used in the field today. Rose-Hulman President Robert A. Coons says the collaboration ensures graduates are workforce-ready by bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world application.
Alstom has acquired hydrogen fuel cell technology and expertise from Cummins, positioning itself as a leader in green rail mobility. The acquisition enables the French rail manufacturer to develop and deploy hydrogen-powered trains with greater control over product development, maintenance and service delivery. Hydrogen trains offer zero emissions, long-distance capabilities and rapid refuelling, addressing limitations of traditional electrification in remote or costly routes. The technology has already been tested extensively by railway operators in Germany, Italy and France. By internalising fuel cell research, manufacturing and maintenance, Alstom aims to reduce costs, improve reliability and accelerate adoption of hydrogen trains. The move supports global climate goals whilst making sustainable rail transport more economically viable and competitive against diesel and electric alternatives.
Cummins launches BESS for Southern africa. Integrated power solutions company Cummins on April 10 launched its battery energy storage system (BESS) offering for the Southern African market, with its South African head office in Midrand set to host a C1500B5ZE BESS unit.

Cummins has urged shareholders to reject proposals on reviewing charitable giving risks and separating the board chair and CEO roles ahead of its 12 May annual meeting. The governance push follows strong financial results in the company's Distribution and Power Systems segments, driven by data centre backup power demand. The Indiana-based engine manufacturer reported record performance in those divisions, offsetting weakness in North American truck markets. Cummins' investment narrative centres on its traditional engine business funding a transition to cleaner power whilst data centre demand supports results. The company's narrative projects $41.9 billion in revenue and $4.8 billion in earnings by 2029, requiring 7.6% annual revenue growth. However, some analysts forecast revenues falling to $30.8 billion with earnings of $2.4 billion, highlighting divergent views on the company's outlook.
Santa Fe Children's Museum selected for STEM education partnership with Cummins Inc. SFCM News: SANTA FE - Santa Fe Children's Museum (SFCM) has announced its selection as one of 20 children's museums to participate in a STEM education initiative funded by Cummins Inc. and administered by the Association of Children's Museums (ACM). Through this partnership, Santa Fe Children's Museum will receive $10,000 to develop and deliver innovative science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programming (STEM) designed to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers and innovators in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. This initiative supports Cummins READY(TM), the company's global education strategy to advance high-quality, equitable STEM education for everyone - from early childhood through adulthood. Cummins READY(TM) has a goal to help at least one million learners and workers get on a pathway to education and career success by 2030. "Research shows that 92% of boys and 97% of girls will lose interest in STEM if they are not immersed in these subjects before fifth grade," said Danette Howard, PhD, Global Director of Education and Corporate Responsibility at Cummins Inc. "By partnering with children's museums - trusted community resources where families already gather - we can reach children during the critical early years when STEM attitudes are formed and help ensure that every child, regardless of their background, can see themselves in STEM careers." "Santa Fe Children's Museum is proud to celebrate New Mexico's significant contributions to science through this initiative in partnership with ACM and Cummins Inc.," SFCM Executive Director Hannah Hausman said. "The Museum is pleased to bring high quality, hands-on scientific learning to children every week during our Science Saturday programs." This initiative builds on SFCM's longstanding commitment to promoting STEM education throughout the state. The Museum has invested in STEM Grab & Go activity kits that bring scientific education straight into the homes of its constituents and portable planetarium, Stargazer. The Van of Enchantment Mobile Museum brings STEM learning to children throughout the region at schools and community events.
