This $149,899,835 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy (CFDA 81.253 - Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications) supports Cummins Electrified Power NA Inc.'s transition from its Columbus, IN diesel engine plant to a leading producer of electrified powertrain components, including batteries, traction motors, electrified accessories, and powertrain controls. This project aims to accelerate the adoption of zero-emissions heavy/medium duty trucks, buses, and off-highway vehicles. Key project activities include developing advanced manufacturing processes for solid oxide electrolyzer cells and stacks, demonstrating a modular and scalable integrated fuel cell electric powertrain for heavy-duty vehicles, and designing a fuel cell battery-powered hybrid emergency relief truck. This grant will help bolster domestic manufacturing capabilities for zero-emission transportation technologies and support Cummins' ongoing efforts to commercialize innovative electrification and hydrogen fuel cell solutions.
