Cummins Launches HELM™ Engine Platforms at Bharat Mobility

At Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, Cummins Group in India, a leading power technology provider, announced the launch of its next generation HELM™ (Higher Efficiency, Lower emissions, Multiple fuels) engine platforms, with the high performance L10 engine, along with, an advanced Hydrogen Fuel Delivery System (FDS) with Type IV on-vehicle storage vessels and the innovative B6.7N natural gas engine.

Showcased within an integrated powertrain concept, these launches underscore the group’s deep understanding of the Indian Commercial Vehicle (CV) market and its commitment to addressing current demands and future environmental requirements.

Introducing Cummins HELM™ engine platforms: Cummins HELM™ platforms represent the company’s forward thinking-approach to engine technology, prioritizing performance, efficiency, and sustainability. The platforms deliver advanced internal combustion engine technology with fuel-type flexibility, enabling customers to choose from advanced diesel, natural gas, or hydrogen variants, to meet their diverse operational needs and sustainability goals.

Designed to meet evolving environmental standards, the platform utilizes a common base to deliver multiple engine versions, each optimized for a single fuel type. Cummins HELM™ platforms empower customers to achieve their sustainability goals.

Highlights of Cummins product launches at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025: Next-generation L10 engine: Built on the 10-liter Cummins HELM™ platform, this high- performance engine supports faster logistics, improved productivity and reduced emissions. This new-generation platform not only meets BSVI emissions standards but will form the base for future BSVII and Euro 7 capable engines for the Indian market. The clean sheet design underscores Cummins’ technical expertise and leadership in delivering solutions that meet current regulations, while being adaptable to future needs. Fuel Delivery System (FDS): An advanced 350-bar and 700-bar hydrogen fuel delivery system, with Type IV on-vehicle storage vessels. The system marks a major step in progressing India’s hydrogen economy. The FDS facilitates on-vehicle hydrogen fuel storage, addressing a key challenge in the adoption of hydrogen powered commercial vehicles. B6.7N Natural Gas Engine: Designed to provide diesel-equivalent performance with lower carbon emissions, the innovative B6.7N natural gas engine facilitates the adoption of CNG and LNG fuels in heavy-duty vehicles. The B6.7N reflects Cummins’ commitment to offer solutions that help its customers navigate the energy transition without compromising operational costs, reliability or operational efficiency for fleets.

Unveiling the new products, Jane Beaman, Vice President – Global On-Highway and Pickup Business, Cummins Inc., said, “Our world is at a pivotal moment in its journey to lower emissions. In line with our Destination Zero™ strategy, we are committed to supporting industry- wide decarbonization through a portfolio of diverse power solutions.
