POWER CHANGES PREDICTED: Cummins developing solid oxide fuel cell-powered mobile power systems

摘要

Cummins Power Generation is developing a way to change how a range of mobile power systems is driven - and it may only be five years away, said the company. The company has been involved in a U.S. government-funded program to develop an auxiliary power unit based on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which are being developed to vastly reduce engine emissions and noise and also slash engine idling time on hundreds of thousands of long-haul trucks during overnight rest stops.
