    4. Cummins, Columbus, Indiana Founded in 1919 by: the inventor-mechanic Clessie Cummins and the financial backer William Irwin More than 50% of the business operates outside the US. Within the UK we have 6 main sites Darlington (Engine Business) Daventry (Engine Business) Huddersfield (Turbo Technology) Stamford (Power Generation) Ramsgate (Power Generation) Wellingborough (Distribution)

    5. Darlington Facility Engine Business – Built in 1964 the engine plant can produce up to 400 engines per day for trucks, buses, tractors, earth movers (JCB, Komatsu) Mid-Range Technology Operations – only 1 of 3 facilities world wide responsible for the testing and development of future engine designs including euro 4,5 and 6. Cummins Emissions Solutions – Development and construction of catalytic exhaust systems for use with all future mid range engines

    6. There are over 1000 people working on site During 2008 we spent Ł219,226 on gas and Ł905,226 on electricity 68% of all gas used goes into heating the building 51% of all electricity usage is associated with engine build We use 2925m3 water per month As a site we use a lot of gas, electricity and water. During 2007 we spent Ł97,653 on gas and Ł573,948 on electricity with 68% of all gas used goes into heating the building. Due to increases in production and improved efficiency the amount of electricity required to produce an engine has fallen by 80% (between 2005 and 2007). However the base load for the site has increased by 20% (or Ł5967 per month) On average we use 2519m3 of water per month however this can vary by +/- 10% As a site we use a lot of gas, electricity and water.

    7. DEP have established environmental objectives, encompassing four Significant Aspects: Minimise leaks and spills Reduce our use of non-renewable resources Improve our carbon footprint Reduce our carbon footprint A Management Programme oversees environmental improvement projects that address the Plant objectives.

    8. Cummins Unplugged Challenge Over Christmas 2008 54 Cummins sites world wide took part in the Cummins Unplugged Challenge and saved almost $1m CES came 4th with a combined gas and electricity reduction of 75% DEP came 10th savings on average Ł1345 on electricity alone. Learning from the Challenge has been taken forward into 2009
