Today, Dr. John C. Wall, former Vice President and Chief
Technical Officer at Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), will receive the
Thomas W. Zosel Individual Achievement Award from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at a ceremony for the 2016
Clean Air Excellence Awards.
“It’s hard to overstate John’s impact on our company, our
industry and the environment. In addition to shaping emissions
technology, he also helped shape emissions policy around the
world,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Vice President and Chief Technical
Officer at Cummins. “John was a mentor to me and so many others at
Cummins, and his work continues to inspire countless engineers and
their future innovations.”
An advocate for tough, clear, and enforceable regulations
worldwide, Dr. Wall is receiving the Thomas W. Zosel Individual
Achievement Award for a career spent reducing commercial engine
emissions. Among his accomplishments, Dr. Wall was involved in the
development and implementation of technology leading to near-zero
levels of emission of particulate matter and nitrogen oxide from
both on and off-highway heavy-duty engines. He played a significant
role in breakthrough clean air technologies including electronic
high pressure fuel systems, cooled exhaust gas recirculation,
wall-flow diesel particulate filters, selective catalytic reduction
and more during his career. A champion of alternative fuel
technology development, he has promoted the future development of
renewable fuels, fuel cells and other advancements to help the
world meet its energy and environmental challenges.
Working with the industry and the EPA, Dr. Wall played a key
role in advancing the landmark 2010 emissions standards, and he
worked firsthand with EPA and multiple other stakeholders to
establish the first commercial vehicle greenhouse gas and fuel
consumption standards.
Dr. Wall has been a trusted advisor and advocate for clean air
programs and has worked to teach the world about EPA’s standards.
He was a recipient of the 2014 Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award from the
California Air Resources Board and was elected into membership of
the National Academy of Engineering in 2010 for leadership and
management of research, design, development, and production of
low-emission, fuel-efficient, heavy-duty diesel engines.
Since retiring in 2015 as Chief Technical Officer for Cummins
Inc., Dr. Wall has remained active in the areas of environmental
and energy technology and policy. He serves as a technical advisor
for the Joint BioEnergy Institute, a DOE Energy Hub, and as an
advisor for Cyclotron Road, an energy technology incubator at
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. He is also a member of the National
Research Council Board on Energy and Environmental Systems and is
active on various National Academy of Engineering committees.
The Clean Air Excellence awards program was established in 2000,
and recognizes individuals that serve as pioneers in their fields,
advance public understanding of air pollution and improve air
quality. Entries are judged by the EPA and the Clean Air Advisory
Committee, and winners will be recognized later today at an awards
ceremony in Washington, D.C. These Awards are given to state,
local, tribal, and private sector programs that educate the public
in improving air quality or reducing harmful air pollutants or
greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
