Hydrogen, Alexey Ustinov to lead Cummins electrolyzer business
Ustinov has been with Cummins for 28 years and will leverage his deep industry expertise, most recently leading the company’s off-highway diesel engine segment, to realize Cummins’ goals in the hydrogen technology space.
As previously announced, Cummins will increasingly focus its attention on the electrolyzer business. Now, we know who is going to be in charge of such a crucial segment when it comes to hydrogen development. As a matter of fact, electrolyzers are the systems that will make it possible to get hydrogen from green sources.
