What Happened
Since March 2026, Cummins has been running the Forever Rising Tour, a cross-country roadshow that lets customers experience its powertrains firsthand. The tour includes four trucks: a Peterbilt 579 with the 2027 X15 diesel, a Kenworth T680, a Freightliner Cascadia with the X15N natural gas engine, and a Freightliner 114SD with the new X10. Participants can drive (with a CDL) or ride along, and talk to Cummins specialists.
The tour has stopped at seven cities, including Nashville, Louisville, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Phoenix. Each stop focused on different aspects: innovation at TMC, customer feedback at MATS, operational challenges in Atlanta, dependability in Salt Lake City, and the energy transition at ACT Expo. Cummins sales and service teams were on hand to discuss real-world applications.
Cummins used the tour to collect candid feedback from drivers and fleet managers, which plays a key role in product refinement. The company highlighted its Destination Zero strategy, offering the X15N natural gas platform as a present-day solution for fleets navigating changing regulations and operational needs.
Why this matters
The tour allows Cummins to gather direct customer input, refine products, and demonstrate its commitment to the energy transition with options like the X15N natural gas platform.
