On The Road With Accelera By Cummins: FCEV

In part 1 of this series, ACT provided in-depth observations on battery-powered cargo trucks and yard tractors. The goal of the series is and was to provide first-hand observations based upon discussions with engineers and ride alongs with prototypes to answer reader questions. What are these vehicles really like to operate? How might they fit into your operations?

Part 2 of this series concentrates on what hydrogen (H2)-fueled internal combustion engine (ICE) alternatives have to offer. What can one expect and what are the unknowns?

Part 3 of this series concentrates on what fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) alternatives have to offer. What can one expect and what are the unknowns? To prepare, we spent time with Accelera™ by Cummins team members who shared with us the technical aspects of FCEV, but moreover, where they see it being applied in the future.”

“This interview was conducted with team members of Accelera who shared with us the technical aspects of FCEV, but moreover, where they see it being applied in the future. This article, in no way, should be considered an endorsement of Cummins and/or Accelera or its EV/alt-fuel products. It is simply observations and information as a result of Cummins’ willingness to share information with ACT’s staff. As is the rest of the commercial vehicle (CV) industry, ACT Research is looking at the road ahead. We’ve taken our expertise and first-hand knowledge from more than 50 players in the market to develop CHARGING FORWARD: 2023-2040 Decarbonization Forecast & Analysis (available now) and NA CV OUTLOOK Plus (available January 2024).”
