Somebody commented earlier about Cummins being a funny name. Turns out there’s a company called Cummins that, among other things, makes generators, so it’s just the classic “thingamabob powered by {CORPORATION_NAME}” that you see in marketing speak all the time.
Mainly they make diesel engines. Dodge pickups that have a diesel, have a Cummins engine. They may use third party parts to make a generator with their name on it, but the engine is a Cummins. I would guess thar the op picture is some other brand of generator that advertises that the generator is powered by a Cummins engine. Cummins has a reputation of being one of the more dependable diesel engines.
Oh right. I saw that comment but thought it must be some joke about the spice, cos I didn’t get the reference, and also didn’t think “thingamabob powered by {COMPANY_NAME}” made any sense. I wouldn’t say my monitor is “powered by LG”. It’s just an LG monitor. @Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world’s comment put it together really well, if it’s actually another brand with Cummins internals. Like a laptop might be “powered by Intel”.
I can’t figure out what it’s meant to say. What starts with “cum” and is genuinely used to power a generator?
