COVER: Cummins
Cummins reinforced its leadership in industrial decarbonisation in early 2025 through the acquisition of key assets from First Mode, a leader in retrofit hybrid solutions for mining and rail operations. This strategic move enhanced Cummins’ Power Systems segment and advanced its Destination Zero strategy by delivering scalable, lower-carbon options for ultra-class haul trucks and other heavy-duty applications. Building on this momentum, Cummins unveiled a prototype of the world’ s first hybrid electric retrofit system for mining equipment at The Electric Mine 2025— offering miners a total cost of ownership( TCO)-positive pathway to meet 2030 carbon reduction goals, while retrofitting existing fleets without requiring new infrastructure.
