Cummins og Navistar International er gået sammen om at udvikle brintlastbiler. De emmisionsfrie lastbiler vil indgå i Werner Enterprises’ flåde af fragtvogne.
Projektet finansieres delvist fra det amerikanske Department of Energys (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) som en del af deres H2@Scale-initiativ, der har til formål at udvikle og opskalere billig brintproduktion, lagring, distribution og forbrug.
I forbindelse med offentliggørelsen af projektet udtalte Amy Davis, Vice-President og President, New Power hos Cummins:
“This vehicle will feature our next generation fuel cell configuration and provides a springboard for us to advance our hydrogen technology for line haul trucks. We are also excited to build on our strong relationship with Navistar, which dates back 80 years, and work together to lower costs and make hydrogen-powered vehicles more accessible for fleets to adopt.”
