Cummins' answer to this almost existential question is that there will continue to be a very strong case for the use of the diesel engine, albeit in its advanced form, to meet the varying power demands of construction machinery in the short and medium terms. However, technology is advancing rapidly. Recently, we've seen the emergence of a new fuel-agnostic breed of internal combustion engines, the logical next step in the evolution of engines, which opens up the use of hydrogen as fuel in a 'traditional' power solution. In the longer term, new innovative technologies, such as hydrogen fuel cells and battery-electric, may very well assume the mantle as the go-to power solution for certain applications, despite challenges. |
