Cummins and tractor supplier Buhler Industries have signed a letter of intent to integrate Cummins’ 15-litre hydrogen engines in the Versatile brand’s equipment to lead the decarbonisation of the agriculture market.
Ann Schmelzer, General Manager Cummins Global Agriculture Business, said both companies share a commitment to technology, quality and dependability. Since 1967, Versatile has used Cummins engines exclusively in all four-wheel drive tractors.
