Cummins delivering electrified powertrains in 2019

Cummins is announcing that it will begin delivery of electrified powertrains in 2019, including battery electric and plug-in hybrids.

“These are just the first steps as the company signals its intention to be the leading provider of electrified powertrains in our commercial and industrial markets,” says Cummins.

Earlier this year, Cummins says that it enhanced its efforts to commercialise its electrification capabilities, bringing together its knowledge and significant experience in the electrified powertrain space.

Also, the company is exploring the potential of partnering with others to ensure the development of leading technology for energy storage, power electronics, traction motor systems and component control for commercial applications.

“Cummins is, at its core, a technology company better positioned than any other company serving in similar markets to win in new and emerging technologies,” says Cummins chairperson and chief executive Tom Linebarger.

Linebarger joined several top Cummins executives to share how the company is positioned to lead in current and future technologies, including its core business, electrification, alternative fuels and power solutions, as well as in digital capabilities, data and analytics.

“We are ready to provide a range of motor technologies to our customers from diesel and natural gas to fully electric and hybrid powertrains. And we will always provide our clients with the best solution for their application,” says Linebarger.
