Isuzu North America Corporation is developing an all-new, zero-emission Class 6 and 7 truck utilizing an Accelera by Cummins powertrain for the United States and Canada. This is the first zero-emissions solution created as a part of the Isuzu Cummins Powertrain Partnership.
“With the start of production of our Isuzu class 5 N-Series EV coming this summer and with the future addition of the Isuzu battery electric class 6 & 7 truck, we will be able to provide zero emission solutions across our product line-up. This will also improve the breadth of our overall offerings providing customers the ability to choose the product and propulsion system that best fits their needs,” says Shaun Skinner, executive officer, Isuzu Motors Limited.
Powered by Accelera’s next generation lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology, the truck will support customers in achieving zero emissions while providing all the benefits associated with a low cab forward chassis. Current plans for the vehicle’s availability are slated for 2026.
“Partnership and collaboration are critical to supporting customers through the energy transition. Together with Isuzu, and our joint commitment to innovation, we will provide customers with safe, reliable zero-emissions solutions,” says Amy Davis, president, Accelera by Cummins.
