COLUMBUS, Ind. -- (Business Wire)
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
KAMAZ for the development of electrified power solutions for a new
product line of KAMAZ battery-powered vehicles.
Currently, KAMAZ is actively developing a new electrified portfolio of
battery-powered trucks and buses, and Cummins continues to expand its
powertrain portfolio by developing electric power systems (fully
electric and hybrid type) for commercial applications.
“Cummins has made strategic moves to bolster our Electrified Power
Business,” said Tom Linebarger, Chairman and CEO, Cummins Inc. “KAMAZ
brings a proven electrified portfolio, which will broaden the range, and
increase the reliability, of our electrified power systems as Cummins
continues to bring the right solutions to our customers at the right
time.”
Based on the long-term productive partnership of the companies, KAMAZ
and Cummins agreed on collaboration aimed to create electrified-power
trucks and buses. Cummins intends to develop and supply to KAMAZ
high-voltage fully electric powertrain prototypes with applications for
city buses and medium range delivery trucks. The MOU also provides for
development and supply of the hybrid transmission prototype designed for
KAMAZ heavy duty trucks.
“Today, our company is actively engaged in developing electrified-power
cars and passenger transport. We seek the wide technical capabilities
and potential of our long-standing partner, Cummins. We see Cummins as
an integral part in implementation of our new projects – there is the
need in high-quality electric transmissions,” said Sergey Kogogin, KAMAZ
CEO. “Through joining our efforts in this field, we’ll be able to offer
consumers a new high-technology product that will take sound position in
the market.”
The prototypes will be tested on KAMAZ city buses, medium range delivery
trucks and heavy-duty trucks. After tests, enhancement and
certification, the partners will consider potential market size in the
product segments and define perspective of their further cooperation.
Cummins KAMA is a 50/50 joint venture between Cummins Inc. and KAMAZ
PTC, producing Cummins ISB series engines since 2006 and ISL series
engines since 2017.
