Accelera plans to decarbonize applications like trucks, buses, trains, construction equipment, stationary power, and other carbon-intense industrial processes as a components supplier and integrator.
Standing Out in the Commercial Vehicle Industry
Unlike some of the newer entrants into the commercial vehicle industry, which focus on just one zero-emission energy source, Cummins has the power to refine and develop all kinds of zero-emission technology. “We’re doing so many things,” Davis said of the Accelera side of the business and its new branding. “Let’s shine a spotlight on these zero things.”
Expanding Through Acquisitions
After six acquisitions of businesses in the alternative-fuel spaces, it’s essential to give Accelera its own identity. The most recent major zero emission acquisitions included Meritor and Siemens’ commercial vehicle electric drive business.
The Importance of a Broad Portfolio
Cummins reports that its technologies have reduced the company’s product emissions by more than 90 percent over the past 25 years.
“Achieving our goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 requires leveraging our entire portfolio of businesses,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Cummins president and chief executive. “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 electrolyzers for green hydrogen production.”
Walking Hand in Hand with Customers Through the Energy Transition
Establishing Accelera reinforces Cummins’ commitment to leading in zero-emissions solutions and highlights their unmatched ability to leverage their deep understanding of their customers’ needs and applications, technical expertise, and extensive service and support network to walk hand in hand with their customers throughout the energy transition.
Cummins’ Track Record in Emission Reduction
