Heavy-duty engines are no strangers to hard work. Every mile, every load, every job depends on performance that holds up in the real world.
In this episode of Power Onward, Kim sits down with Adam Whitney, GM Regional Fleet Sales, North America, and Brad Sutton, Executive Director, Powertrain Engineering, to look at what keeps fleets moving and why the X15 continues to earn its place on the road. The conversation moves beyond the engine itself into the full powertrain, where integration, data, and real-time insight shape how trucks perform day to day.
Adam shares what customers ask for when they spec a truck and why uptime, fuel efficiency, and total cost of ownership still define success. Brad explains how powertrain integration pushes performance further, from fuel savings to driver safety, and how data is changing the way fleets plan, maintain, and operate.
This episode shows how Cummins supports customers across the full lifecycle, from initial spec to long-term optimization. These efforts help fleets move everything from food to fashion — keeping shelves stocked and supply chains flowing.
