Cummins Confidential : Frankfurt To Washington

Cummins has packed the next month with trade shows, exhibitions and corporate handshakes across Europe, Australia, Singapore and the United States.

The Cummins events 2026 calendar currently covers commercial vehicles, rail engines, data centres, power generation, transit buses and defence. Cummins invites visitors to meet its teams and learn about its “latest products and technologies”.

So, as a public service, TCAP has mapped the diary. No charge.


8-12 September: Automechanika Frankfurt

Frankfurt, Germany

First up is Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, where Cummins is displaying its commercial vehicle aftermarket range.

Brake calipers, brake pads and brake discs are the order of the week, including Meritor Genuine, Meritor Reman and Euclid products. Cummins has even brought along the phrase “Braking you can believe in”.

Steady on.


14-20 September: IAA Transportation 2026

Hannover, Germany

Next stop is IAA Transportation 2026, one of the major international trade shows for logistics, commercial vehicles and heavy-duty transport.

Cummins is bringing the X10 Euro 7 engine, X15N natural gas engine, NPROXX hydrogen (lol) storage, Accelera (lol) technology and assorted components to Hannover.

Diesel, natural gas, hydrogen (lol) and electric hardware under one corporate roof.

Something for every transition.


16-17 September: Sydney CDC

Sydney, Australia

While the transport show continues in Germany, Cummins will also be working the data-centre crowd at Sydney CDC 2026.

The advertised Cummins line-up includes the Centum Force Series containerised generator, QSK95, Centum Series 78L, Centum Series 60L and battery energy storage.

AI eats electricity.

Cummins sells very large things that make electricity.

Everyone has found their fucking niche.


22-25 September: InnoTrans 2026

Berlin, Germany

Then comes InnoTrans 2026, Berlin’s international rail transport technology show.

Cummins lists this one simply under Rail Engines, which feels refreshingly restrained after our recent crawl through Cummins-powered rail networks.

TCAP has been spending quite enough time around Indian Railways lately.

Apparently Berlin is next on the timetable.


29-30 September: Data Centre World Asia

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

Cummins then heads to Data Centre World Asia 2026, where the company returns to the enormous appetite for data-centre power.

Centum Force, the QSK95, Centum 78L and Centum 60L generator sets are all advertised, alongside battery energy storage.

Server racks upstairs.

Big fucking generators downstairs.

The modern cloud, explained.


5-7 October: APTA EXPO 2026

Chicago, Illinois

October starts with APTA EXPO 2026, where Cummins will occupy Booth 2446 and pitch its technology to the public transport industry.

The display includes the Cummins X10, Twin Module Aftertreatment, Accelera batteries, electric axles, motors and inverters. Cummins has also scheduled a press conference on 5 October about its strategy for the next generation of transit engines.

Engines, aftertreatment and zero-emissions hardware sharing the same booth.

Destination Everything.


6-8 October: Land Forces 2026

Perth, Australia

At almost exactly the same time, Cummins will be at Land Forces 2026 in Perth, Australia.

Booth 3N10 moves the sales pitch into defence, with Cummins promoting engines for wheeled and tracked military vehicles, power generation, marine applications, drivetrains and braking systems.

Buses in Chicago.

Tanks in Perth.

A diversified portfolio does make for an interesting fucking calendar.


12-14 October: AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition

Washington, D.C.

The current run finishes at the AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition 2026 in Washington.

Cummins describes AUSA as an opportunity to experience advanced defence technologies and connect with its team onsite.

Which brings us back to the invitation sitting at the top of the Cummins events page.

Cummins says visitors can come along and learn about its “latest products and technologies”.

We’re unsure whether any updates to Cummins’ defeat devices or emissions-cheating software will be demonstrated.

Frankfurt. Hannover. Sydney. Berlin. Singapore. Chicago. Perth. Washington.

Plenty of opportunities to ask.
