Although it is today a manufacturer of various electric products – including e-powertrains, battery packs, and electrolysers – American engine manufacturer Cummins Inc is also concerned about regulation that focuses only on tailpipe emissions rather than a holistic well-to-wheels approach. In a previous conversation with Truck & Bus Builder, Bill Lamb, director of Cummins’ engine business platform strategy, noted that, with the current rate of battery-electric truck adoption, commercial vehicle manufacturers will find it extremely challenging to meet future CO2 emissions reduction targets without the help of two alternatives to pure electric: hybrid and biofuels. We met again at the recent Road Transport Expo, held between 24-26 June at NAEC Stoneleigh, to discuss not only alternatives to electric but also Cummins’ progress towards Euro 7.

Truck & Bus Builder spoke with Daniel Majewski, Global head of Bus Solutions at ZF, about what makes the bus segment unique, how ZF supports manufacturers in keeping up to speed with the latest regulations and technologies, and how the implementation of new products and services is making Europe’s public transport safer and operational efficient.
