We need everyone working together to address climate change, and we are pleased to partner with our customers in their efforts to improve the environmental and economic sustainability of their operations,” said Tom Linebarger, Chairman and CEO of Cummins, Inc. “I look forward to sharing more about Destination Zero with our customers at ACT Expo.”
Cummins is helping customers reduce their carbon footprint today as the transition to cleaner transportation solutions accelerates globally and the necessary infrastructure is established to support this transformation.
