As a part of the collaboration, Cummins will market and distribute the DATUM range of products through its vast distribution network in India.

Currently, customers face multiple challenges while managing their fuel operations including cumbersome procurement processes, fuel pilferage and adulteration, high dead-mileage operations, and unbalanced diesel inventory. DATUM addresses these customer challenges by offering a solution that enhances the visibility into the downstream diesel value chain, driving cost and operational efficiency for its users.

Vivek Malapati, vice president, distribution business, Cummins India, said, “The introduction of the DATUM range in collaboration with Repos marks a significant step in addressing the existing challenges faced by customers in managing fuel operations. Our collaboration with Repos Energy further strengthens our efforts to provide convenience, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness to our customers, helping them to do their bit for environmental sustainability and emission reduction efforts.”

Aditi Bhosale Walunj, Co-Founder, Repos Energy, said, “The Cummins and Repos partnership will catalyze a fuel distribution transformation across industries through the innovative solution of DATUM. This tech-enabled tool will enable end consumers to avail fuel delivery at their desired location with just a click on their phone. It will not only improve easy fuel accessibility for consumers but also help in structuring and organizing the fuel delivery industry. DATUM as a solution will improve fuel efficiency by cutting out losses and helping the world move towards a carbon-neutral future. With Cummins onboard, our intent to take this solution across industries and geographies is only bolstered."
