Behind the News: The Broader Impact of California’s AB5 [Podcast]
August 9, 2022
If you think California’s AB5 law won’t affect you because you don’t run in the state or use owner-operators, you might be surprised.
Cummins recently invited transportation journalists to Columbus, Indiana to discuss zero and near-zero emissions powertrain products it has in development, including a 6.7-liter engine that runs on 87 octane gasoline, and an battery-electric drivetrain for a Class 7 delivery truck. Jack Roberts and Jim Park share their observations on these two vehicles as well as the company's plans to position itself as a leading global provider of alternative powertrain products.
