President Joe Biden touted efforts to boost U.S. manufacturing after touring a Cummins facility in Minnesota on Monday, as the company announced it will invest $1 billion in making cleaner engines. Cummins intends to invest the money in Indiana, North Carolina and New York, focusing on creating low-to-zero-carbon engines. More than half of medium and heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. use Cummins engines, and the upgraded facilities aim to decarbonize shipping vehicles across the country. Electrolyzers are needed to create clean hydrogen, used to power certain vehicles and in steel production. "All these investments mean that now if you grow up in Minnesota, if you go to school in Minnesota, you can stay in Minnesota," Biden said.
