Accelera and Isuzu to Launch Zero-Emissions Battery Electric Powertrain for F-Series Trucks by 2027

Accelera by Cummins and Isuzu Motors announced they will introduce a fully integrated zero-emissions battery electric powertrain for Isuzu’s F-series medium-duty trucks, with production set for 2027. The collaboration is tailored for the North American market and marks a major step in fleet electrification.

The new electric powertrain will include Accelera’s next-generation technologies:
- Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) tiered platform batteries for longer cycle life, enhanced safety, and cost efficiency
- The 14Xe eAxle with the ELFA motor and inverter, backed by nearly 30 years of road experience
- The PCAS 3.0 system, a compact and modular controls package that is 70% smaller than previous versions and more serviceable

The system will be shown at the ACT Expo in Anaheim, California, from April 28 to May 1.

The powertrain will be available in Class 6 and 7 trucks, designed for a range of applications from urban deliveries to regional hauls. Its integration aims to lower the total cost of ownership and support the transition to electric commercial fleets. Many components will be manufactured or assembled in the United States.

Accelera is Cummins’ zero-emissions business segment, and Isuzu is a global leader in commercial vehicles, including the F-series and D-MAX models.
