Business Wire
Accelera™ by Cummins, the zero-emissions business segment of
Cummins Inc. [NYSE: CMI], is collaborating with BMC Otomotiv, a
leading manufacturer of buses and trucks in Turkey and throughout
Europe, to provide battery solutions for their transit bus
operations. The companies have signed a letter of intent (LOI) for
Accelera to power BMC’s city buses. This marks the first time the
BP97E, Accelera’s latest nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery
pack, will be used in operation in Europe.
The BP97E is a high-energy-density battery pack and is the
latest development in Accelera’s NMC battery platform. Its
single-pack storage capacity of up to 97 kWh makes it an effective
solution for weight-sensitive applications. Its patented platform
design and flexible mounting options make integrating into many
types of electric buses and other applications simpler. Transit
agencies can tailor the energy level needed to serve their
communities through an onboard energy option of up to 582 kWh with
a six-pack battery configuration. This will ensure efficient and
reliable transportation for passengers while also promoting
sustainability.
“The launch of our NMC battery in Turkey and Europe, in
collaboration with BMC, is a milestone for Accelera as we expand
our battery-electric offerings to new regions around the world,”
said Brian Wilson, General Manager of eMobility for Accelera.
“Collaborating with BMC to power their electric city buses
demonstrates Accelera’s ability to deliver innovative,
zero-emissions technologies, and we’re excited to work together to
provide sustainable solutions for cities and towns across
Europe.”
The city buses will be sold in Turkey, BMC’s domestic market,
and will operate throughout Europe. These buses play a crucial role
in large cities, which have high-capacity demands. The project is
already underway, with the BP97E batteries expected to be delivered
in the first half of 2024 and the buses expected to be delivered to
customers in 2025.
Accelera's multi-chemistry battery product portfolio includes
nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries and lithium iron phosphate
(LFP) batteries, which are engineered to suit a variety of electric
commercial vehicles and industrial applications.
