Accelera, a subsidiary of Cummins, has unveiled plans to introduce a battery electric powertrain for Isuzu’s F-series electric trucks in the North American market. This initiative underscores the commitment of both companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide customers with innovative, zero-emissions solutions.
The medium-duty electric truck, slated for a 2026 release, will feature Accelera’s cutting-edge lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology integrated into a specially designed powertrain. While specific technical details remain undisclosed, Isuzu aims to fine-tune its technology to meet market demands over the next two years.
