The Diesel Progress Summit is a unique event that highlights current and emerging powertrain technologies used in on- and off-highway vehicles and equipment.

The 2022 edition, held in Rosemont, Ill., was focused on “Pathways to Decarbonization,” and included presentations on alternative fuel engines, hydrogen engines, new fuel system and combustion technologies, electrification of hydraulics and transmissions, new low- and zero-carbon fuels, low-voltage electrification challenges and fuel cells. The event also included keynote addresses by Karl Weiss, senior vice president and chief technology officer at Caterpillar and Vincenzo Perrone, president of Kohler Engines.

The Diesel Progress Summit also includes an awards program, which recognizes excellence and achievement in engine and powertrain engineering. To see the 2022 winners, please click here.
