Cummins and Taylor Machine Works announced a signed letter of intent with plans to integrate the Cummins 6.7-liter and 15-liter H₂ engines into the Taylor product line. This collaboration will help realize the decarbonization goals of industrial steel, wood products, concrete, oil and gas and port operations markets.

H₂ internal combustion engines (H2ICEs) will create a zero-carbon fueled solution that provides cost effective equipment for high load factor, high utilization applications. Key benefits of using this technology include enabling a more-timely solution to reduce carbon emissions without sacrificing productivity. Adding H2ICE to the mix of zero carbon solutions will also reduce the load required from already stressed utility grids. Finally, commonalities with traditional internal combustion equipment will provide solutions that are dependable, as well as easy to service and maintain.

Matt Hillyer, Director of Engineering, said, "We are excited to announce our collaboration with Cummins to integrate H₂ internal combustion engines into Taylor products. This partnership signifies our commitment to a sustainable future, enabling us to offer reliable, cost-effective, zero-carbon solutions for heavy industrial lift equipment, reducing carbon emissions without compromising productivity."

Antonio Leitao, Cummins Vice President Off- Highway Engine Business, said, "Cummins is pleased to be working with Taylor Machine Works on H₂ solutions for their equipment. We see H₂ internal combustion engines as a solution to help drive sustainability improvements in our industry. H₂ power will help both OEMs and end-users looking to making carbon emissions reductions on their paths to zero."
