How the Company Makes MoneyCummins generates revenue through several key streams, primarily derived from the sale of engines and related components across diverse markets, including automotive, industrial, and power generation sectors. The Engine segment is a significant contributor, providing a variety of diesel and natural gas engines for commercial applications. Additionally, the Power Systems segment offers power generation equipment and services, further solidifying the company's footprint in energy solutions.
