Cummins Group in India made a resounding statement at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 with the launch of its groundbreaking HELM™ (Higher Efficiency, Lower Emissions, Multiple Fuels) engine platforms, solidifying its position as a leader in innovative and sustainable power solutions for the commercial vehicle (CV) market.
The highlight of the launch was the next-generation L10 engine, a high-performance offering based on Cummins’ advanced 10 ltr HELM™ platform. Designed to meet Bharat Stage VI (BSVI) standards and adaptable for future BSVII and Euro 7 emissions norms, the L10 engine aims to redefine productivity and efficiency in logistics while addressing environmental sustainability.
Adding to its portfolio, Cummins also introduced an advanced Hydrogen Fuel Delivery System (FDS) featuring Type IV on-vehicle storage vessels. The system is a critical innovation to support India’s growing hydrogen economy, tackling challenges in hydrogen fuel storage and enabling greater adoption of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles.
Another significant launch was the B6.7N Natural Gas Engine, which offers diesel-equivalent performance with lower carbon emissions. Optimized for the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), this engine demonstrates Cummins’ commitment to providing solutions that support India’s energy transition without compromising operational efficiency or cost-effectiveness for fleet operators.
Showcased as part of an integrated powertrain concept, these new products reflect Cummins’ deep understanding of the Indian CV market and its forward-looking approach to delivering versatile, high-performance, and sustainable technologies. The HELM™ platforms, in particular, underline the company’s focus on fuel-type flexibility, offering customers the choice of advanced diesel, natural gas, or hydrogen variants to meet diverse operational needs and sustainability goals.
Unveiling the innovative solutions, Jane Beaman, Vice President – Global On-Highway and Pickup Business, Cummins Inc, stated: “Our world is at a pivotal moment in its journey to lower emissions.
