Accelera by Cummins has unveiled its latest advancements in zero-emissions technologies at the ACT Expo in Anaheim, California. For the second year in a row, Accelera has introduced state-of-the-art decarbonization solutions.

First of all, the advanced light-duty battery is a versatile pack designed for flexible packaging and ease of integration. Conceived for light-duty trucks, off-highway equipment and other commercial applications, the new product stands out for higher energy density allowing for extended range, as well as advanced design. Furthermore, now the battery cells will be manufactured in Mississippi by Amplify Cell Technologies, a joint venture between Accelera, Daimler Truck and PACCAR.

The batteries can be part of a fully integrated powertrain, combining advanced LFP tiered platform batteries, 14Xe axle (pictured above), as well as Powers and Controls Accessory System (PCAS) 3.0. Accelera recently announced a partnership with Isuzu to supply the fully integrated battery-electric powertrain for its F-series medium-duty truck product lineup.

Finally, two major advancements have been introduced to enhance operational and energy efficiency for battery-electric commercial vehicles. The Over-the-air (OTA) software updates aim to reduce vehicle downtime and lowering maintenance costs. Initially offered for the school bus market, this cutting-edge technology ensures efficient software management for fleet operators. Moreover, Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging certification allows vehicles to draw power from the grid and return energy to it, promoting grid stability and energy efficiency.
