摘要：	Although the diesel engine OEM now also offers battery-electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell drivetrain options, Cummins is expanding its range of lower carbon fuel options to appeal to customers that aren't ready to make that move from diesel in one jump. "We know the planet can't wait for the perfect solution," said Srikanth Padmanabhan, president, Cummins engine business, in a video recorded to mark the launch. "Our approach is a combination of using zero-emissions power where it is available, and using cleaner, reduced, lower carbon power where it is not. This I call, 'continuous improvement beats postponed perfection'." He adds that the basic concept of the next generation B, L and X-Series [pictured is the X15N gas engine] is that below the head gasket will be similar components, and above the head gasket will be different components for different fuel types. Each engine version will operate using a different, single fuel. The platform can incorporate either a dedicated compression-ignition system for diesel, or spark ignition for natural gas and hydrogen fuel (and propane and gasoline in America).
