Cummins fulfills its commitment to promote the development of hydrogen economy，The International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition in Hanover, Germany, was held recently.（AGRITECHNICA）Go，Demonstrated Cummins Hydrogen Power as its“Zero carbon”The important component of the strategy is the key application in the field of agricultural machinery.。
“As the pioneer and leader of multi-power solutions，Cummins continues to lead across the century，Develop a wider range of sustainable drivetrains for the future，Hydrogen energy is very important。Cummins regards the construction of hydrogen energy industry chain as a strategic focus.，Actively expand the road of sustainable development and accelerate the application of landing.。”Vice President, Global Off-Highway Engines, Cummins Antonio Leitao Express。
Cummins' recent acquisitions and investments focus on three key areas of hydrogen：Production of green hydrogen，Management and transportation of hydrogen energy products，Application of hydrogen internal combustion engine and hydrogen fuel cell。
Green hydrogen production
Green hydrogen is a sustainable energy source.（Wind energy、Solar Energy、Hydroelectric power）Hydrogen production by electrolysis，Zero emission of greenhouse gases can be realized.，At present, some production processes have been put into the farm.，For example：The drying of grain、Cooling and fertilizer production。
The key tool for green hydrogen production is the hydrogen production equipment by water electrolysis.。Cummins through La Mancha, Spain（La Mancha）And Minnesota, USA（Minnesota）New production plant，Enlarge in Orville, Belgium（Oevel）And Mississauga, Canada（Mississauga）The capacity of the plant，Improving the supply capacity of hydrogen production equipment by water electrolysis，And continue to increase investment in this technology.，At present, more than 600 devices are distributed in 100 countries around the world.。
Hydrogen storage and supply
On-board hydrogen storage is an important part of hydrogen energy utilization。The hydrogen is compressed in the available spaces，By storing a sufficient amount to meet the operating cycle requirements of the Vehicle。NPROXXIs a leading provider of high-pressure hydrogen storage and transportation for stationary and mobile applications，Cummins and its joint venture，In order to support the integrated process operation of the main engine factory。Hydrogen storage tanks can be pressurized up to 700 bar，Strive to maximize capacity。
Hydrogen internal combustion engine
Hydrogen internal combustion engine developed by Cummins，And has high adaptability，Meet current Vehicle designs and provide sustainable solutions，It can effectively reduce the complexity of the main engine factory and its users.。Greater economies of scale with commonality of component，Reliability and durability comparable to diesel。
Hydrogen internal combustion engine has strong and stable performance.，It can meet the needs of difficult agricultural machinery applications.，Addressing the challenges of extreme operating environments。
Where is Cummins?AgritechnicaOn displayB6.7HHydrogen internal combustion engine，Power up to 290 HP（216 kW），Maximum torque up to 1200 Nm，Suitable for Tractors and other agricultural machinery，Cummins is launching the Meet the Road Europe Phase VI.（EU Stage VI）And North America Phase V（EPA Tier 5）One of the new series of emission standards。Common platform design using multi-fuel engine，Have a high degree of commonality of parts and components，The platform uses clean diesel fuel.、Engines using different fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen，Only the cylinder head and the fuel supply system are different，The engine block under the cylinder head is the same，The installation of the complete machine shall be consistent with the space occupied.。
Cummins hydrogen internal combustion engines can be installed on the same main equipment as diesel engines.，Matched to the same gearbox、Cooling system and hydraulic system，Maintenance methods and costs are also comparable to diesel engines。The main difference is the on-board hydrogen storage system.，Cummins can be used withNPROXXProvide corresponding support to the joint venture。At the same time，Cummins after-sales service network synchronous support hydrogen power，Seamless docking with service resources of diesel engine。
Hydrogen fuel cell
Hydrogen fuel cell technology can provide an efficient power solution for heavy-duty Vehicles with high utilization and energy requirements.，At the same time, meet the demand of zero emission.。Fuel cells use electrochemical reactions.，Converting hydrogen into electrical energy，And battery technology（Supercapacitor、Lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries）Working together in a parallel hybrid plant，The transient response is fast。
Cummins Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines and Fuel Cells as Complements to Conventional Energy Sources，Provide customers with more choices，Support customers to achieve zero carbon target。Release of hydrogen internal combustion engine，It is also conducive to accelerating the construction of hydrogen infrastructure.，It also has a positive effect on the wide adoption of fuel cell power system.。
