Daimler Truck

North America And Cummins Collaborate To Drive

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks Forward In North America

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), a global power and hydrogen technologies leader, and Daimler Truck North
America (DTNA), the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America, are collaborating to upfit and
validate Freightliner Cascadia trucks with a Cummins hydrogen fuel cell powertrain for use in North America.
Freightliner will leverage Cummins’ fourth generation fuel cell powertrain, which provides improved power
density, efficiency and durability.

The joint effort will support both organizations’ goals to reduce
emissions across product offerings and operations. Upon
successful validation, the companies intend to have initial units
available in 2024 for selected customers.
46 “Cummins and Daimler Truck have a strong history of partnership,

and this next step into fuel cell electric vehicles is an exciting
development for zero-emissions transport,” said Amy Davis, Vice
President and President of New Power at Cummins. “Hydrogen
fuel cells are a promising solution for the demanding requirements
of heavy-duty trucking. Our collaboration in this market is an
important milestone for both companies as we work to accelerate
the shift to a carbon-free economy.”

“CO2-neutral commercial transportation must not only be
technically feasible, but also economically viable for our valued
customers,” said Rakesh Aneja, Vice President and Chief of
eMobility at DTNA. “Depending on the customer application and
energy infrastructure considerations, hydrogen-powered vehicles
can absolutely complement battery-powered electric vehicles in
accelerating our carbon-neutral journey. We are pleased to expand
our partnership with Cummins to include hydrogen-powered fuel
cell electric vehicles in our future portfolio. We remain focused
on serving our customers by providing them with a choice of
propulsion-technologies, ultimately resulting in solutions that best
suit their business needs.”
