Cummins Accelera brand launched for zero emission solutions
SHARE

Cummins has launched the Accelera by Cummins brand. It captures the OEM’s zero-emission solutions, including those from the battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell-electric spheres as part of “a diverse portfolio” of such technologies.

Accelera represents “a significant step forward” in Cummins’ work to achieve its Destination Zero strategy. The brand will advance solutions including batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, electric axles, electrolysers and traction systems.

Cummins adds that over the past several years, it has invested over US$1.5 billion in research and development and capital and acquisitions to build Accelera’s leadership team and its technological capabilities.

“Accelera is now a global leader in zero-emissions technologies, providing battery-electric and [hydrogen] fuel cell-electric solutions across commercial and industrial applications with hundreds of electrolysers generating hydrogen around the world today,” the OEM says in a statement.

Amy Davis has been appointed President of Accelera. She has led Cummins’ New Power business unit since 2020 and has been with the business for over a quarter of a century.

Commenting on the new brand, Cummins President and CEO Jennifer Rumsey says: “Achieving our goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 requires leveraging our entire portfolio of businesses.

“As we have continued to lead in and advance the engine-based solutions that power our customers’ businesses, we have also built the broadest combination of zero-emissions technologies dedicated to the commercial vehicle industry, like battery-electric and fuel cell-electric powertrain solutions and electrolysers for green hydrogen production.

“Establishing Accelera reinforces our commitment to leading in zero-emissions solutions and highlights our unmatched ability to leverage our deep understanding of our customers’ needs and applications, technical expertise and extensive services and support network to walk hand-in-hand with our customers throughout the energy transition.”

Among the projects that Accelera by Cummins is already working on is one with US manufacturer Blue Bird to accelerate the production of 1,000 battery-electric school buses over the next 12-18 months. Accelera will also continue to build on existing Cummins zero-emission work, including powering 52 hydrogen fuel cell-electric buses in Shanghai.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
