Business Wire
Accelera™ by Cummins, the zero-emissions business segment of
Cummins Inc. [NYSE: CMI], has launched the next generation of
several of its cutting-edge decarbonizing technologies that are
shaping the future of clean transportation. New versions of its
hydrogen fuel cell engines, a high efficiency eAxle, and its
next-generation batteries are among the new products Accelera
unveiled at this year’s Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo on
May 20 in Las Vegas.
“Accelera is leading the charge toward a more sustainable
future, and I’m excited to celebrate the launch of our new
zero-emissions fuel cell, eAxle and battery products,” said Amy
Davis, President of Accelera. “Through constant innovation,
real-world testing in the field and collaboration with customers
and partners to tailor solutions, we continue to improve our
next-generation technologies, helping accelerate adoption and the
shift to zero.”
More powerful fuel cell engines
The latest generation of Accelera's fuel cell technology can be
found in the newly launched FCE300 and FCE150 fuel cell engines.
Both offer increased power density for larger systems, improved
system efficiency and advanced durability. The modular architecture
enables seamless configurations for a multitude of applications and
layouts, while streamlining integration processes for on- and
off-highway mobile and stationary applications.
Accelera’s 300kW fuel cell engine will be on display at ACT Expo
in addition to a Navistar RH International Class 8 heavy-duty truck
equipped with two rail-mounted FCE150 engines and Accelera’s newest
eAxle. This clean-power configuration showcases the connectivity
and versatility of Accelera’s offerings.
eAxle technology advancements
Touting increased energy efficiency, the next-gen 14Xe is
Accelera’s newest and most versatile eAxle. Available with a
3-speed twin-countershaft or a 2-speed planetary transmission, the
14Xe is designed to accommodate increased torque, power and battery
voltage requirements. The new 14Xe also minimizes the need for
wheel-end reductions, making it a more flexible option for
customers.
For an enhanced electric drivetrain with an increased focus on
functional safety and cybersecurity, the 14Xe is equipped with
Accelera’s ELFA 3 V3.2, a high-power inverter. The 14Xe is best
suited for heavy-duty 6x4 applications in a tandem configuration or
as a single application for medium-duty and school bus
applications.
Adaptable and reliable battery innovations
Accelera's BP104E is its newest and most flexible battery
platform. This next-gen lithium iron phosphate (LFP) platform is
highly modular and can adapt easily to different customer needs,
providing superior life performance and fast charging
capabilities.
With a rated energy capacity of 104kWh and a max voltage range
of 830V, the BP104E is engineered to redefine energy storage
standards along with unparalleled performance, reliability and
safety to meet the evolving demands of the transportation sector.
The next-gen LFP chemistry composition and cell-to-pack
architecture also make it more energy dense and cost competitive.
Volume production of this battery is planned for 2027 with locally
manufactured cells in the U.S.
Accelerating the shift to zero emissions
These next-gen products join Accelera’s wide range of innovative
zero-emissions solutions that span the hydrogen and electrification
value chains. Also on display at ACT Expo are the BP97E nickel
manganese cobalt (NMC) battery pack; the BP107E LFP battery pack;
and the 1 CS2002 high powered, remote-mount, direct-drive traction
motor. Many of these products can be easily integrated into
existing commercial vehicles or paired with other Accelera
products, making for a seamless transition to lower- or zero-carbon
applications for customers.
