SANTA MONICA, Calif. — February 24, 2022 — Organizers of the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo (ACT) Expo, North America’s largest advanced transportation technology and clean fleet event, today announced Tom Linebarger, Chairman and CEO of Cummins Inc., as a keynote speaker for the annual show, taking place at the Long Beach Convention Center in Southern California from May 9-12, 2022.

As a renowned engine-maker and global power solutions leader, Cummins is focused on taking steps now to turn their sustainability pledge of carbon neutrality by 2050 into real-world products. Linebarger will offer his perspective on why the commercial transportation sector needs to utilize a portfolio of low carbon technologies to address climate change.
“Climate change is the existential crisis of our time. Our strategy for a zero-emissions future – Destination Zero – helps our customers successfully and seamlessly transition to cleaner technologies. We need everyone working together to address climate change, and we are pleased to partner with our customers in their efforts to improve the environmental and economic sustainability of their operations,” said Tom Linebarger, Chairman and CEO of Cummins, Inc. “I look forward to sharing more about Destination Zero with our customers at ACT Expo.”
Cummins is helping customers reduce their carbon footprint today as the transition to cleaner transportation solutions accelerates globally and the necessary infrastructure is established to support this transformation.
“We are seeing an across-the-board realignment toward clean commercial transportation, and as a long-standing market leader, Cummins is one of the voices that informs and drives forward our direction and progress,” said Erik Neandross, CEO at Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA), the producers of ACT Expo. “We are excited to get an update on how Cummins’ path to ultra-low carbon technology and zero emissions is shaping its product roadmap today and over the next several decades.”
