Hyperscalers Will Spend $750 Billion on AI This Year. Cummins Sells the Backup Power.

Cummins is best known for making engines for large trucks, but those engines can do other things, too.

Cummins, a once-struggling company in the face of shifting industry trends, has found renewed relevance in the rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence (AI). The need for reliable power to support AI development has become increasingly crucial as companies worldwide build out their AI platforms. Estimates suggest that a staggering $750 billion will be spent on AI infrastructure in 2026, with a significant portion of that expenditure coming from hyperscalers.

These hyperscalers are constructing massive AI data centers that require large-scale power supplies to function effectively.
