Amy Davis, who has led the New Power business unit since 2020, will serve as President of Accelera. Davis has served in a number of
          global and business leadership roles during her more than 25 years with Cummins.  In her role as Accelera President, Davis will continue to
          lead the innovation and business development of market-leading zero-emissions technologies and support customers in their journey to net
          zero.

          “The purpose of Accelera is simple – to secure a sustainable future for the industries that keep the world running,” said Davis. “Launching
          this new brand drives additional focus in our business and enables us to stay ahead of the ever-changing zero-emissions landscape. By
          leveraging Cummins’ deep understanding of our customers’ needs and the demands of their applications, Accelera will deliver leading zero-
          emissions technologies necessary to accelerate the shift to zero.”

          In addition to today’s news, Accelera is also announcing the following zero-emissions projects:

          Varennes Carbon Recycling selects Accelera by Cummins to manufacture, supply 90MW electrolyzer
          Accelera by Cummins will supply a 90-megawatt proton exchange membrane electrolyzer system for Varennes Carbon Recycling’s plant
          in Quebec, Canada. The project, which will be the largest electrolyzer project Cummins has announced to date and a key step in advancing
          North America’s green hydrogen-based economy, will help turn non-recyclable waste into bio fuels and circular chemicals.

          Accelera by Cummins and Blue Bird will accelerate production of 1000 electric school buses
          Accelera and Blue Bird aim to power a new fleet of 1,000 electric school buses across the United States over the next 12-18 months.
          Production of the electric school buses will be significantly accelerated, more than doubling the zero-emissions school buses that the pair
          have put into operation since the start of production. With 1,000 new electric school buses on the road, 10,600 metric tons of harmful
          carbon emissions will be prevented annually.

          Cummins’ breakthrough technologies have reduced the company’s product emissions by more than 90% over the past 25 years, and
          Accelera will continue to advance the company’s path toward a zero-emissions future. Recent zero-emissions highlights that Accelera will
                                                                                                               37
          continue to build on include:

          • Completing the acquisition of Meritor, Inc., and Siemens Commercial Vehicle business to advance electric powertrain solutions
          • Increasing global electrolyzer manufacturing capacity with gigawatt-scalable plants in Fridley, Minnesota – its first in the United States –
          and in Spain (now under construction)
          • Powering the world’s largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer in  operation in the world in Bécancour, Canada
          • Powering the world’s first hydrogen refueling station for ships, cars, trucks and industrial customers in Antwerp, Belgium
          • Powering the world’s first megawatt-scale demonstration plant for storing wind energy in the natural gas grid in Windgas Falkenhagen,
          Germany
          • Powering the world’s first fleets of hydrogen fuel cell passenger trains in Germany
          • Deploying four hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered class 8 heavy-duty trucks with several marquis fleet customers in the United States
          • Powering 52 fuel cell city buses in Lingang, Shanghai
          • Powering refuse trucks with FAUN across Europe
