Introduction to Cummins
Cummins is building on its legacy as a leader in diesel engines by expanding its portfolio of electrified components. Cummins’ expansion of production capacity for its market-leading technologies in battery, traction, electrified accessories, and powertrain controls will enable Cummins to meet customer demand for both traditional and zero-emissions applications. Cummins is using its over 100 years of experience to expand our traditional markets and lead in emerging technology markets, with several thousand units generating millions of user miles of experience.
Overview of Project
Cummins will be launching a new battery cell to pack assembly line in Cummins’ Columbus, Indiana plant (CEP). Cummins will need to prepare the existing manufacturing space to be compliant with all HSE regulations for battery manufacturing including Cummins and government regulations. This project is limited to the facilities design.

Read MoreIntroduction to Cummins
Cummins is transitioning from its legacy in diesel engines to a leading competitor in electrified components. Cummins' market-leading technologies in battery, traction, electrified accessories, and powertrain controls will aid in accelerating the adoption of zero-emissions heavy/medium-duty trucks, buses, and off-highway vehicles (ZEV). Cummins has been building market ZEV experience since the launch of its electrified power business with several thousand units generating millions of miles of experience today.
Overview of Project
Cummins will be launching a new battery cell to stack to pack assembly line in Cummins' Columbus, Indiana plant (CEP). Cummins will need a production line to support a cell to pack assembly with the structure being secured with laser welding. The start of production will follow a phased investment approach to support the known volumes planned at each site. This assembly line will accommodate different size variants of packs that follow the same mechanical structure and process flow.
