Industry leaders collaborate to integrate and
certify Allison eGen Flex® with a Cummins B-Series
engine to meet EPA27 Emissions Standards.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission is pleased
to announce its most recent collaboration with global power
technology leader Cummins Inc., where the companies will integrate
and certify a Cummins B-Series engine with the Allison eGen
Flex® electric hybrid propulsion system for the transit
market. The integration will meet the EPA's "Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles – Phase 3" and provide
a reliable low emission propulsion solution in 2027 and beyond.
"This initiative continues Allison's position at the forefront
of sustainable transportation with our comprehensive portfolio of
propulsion solutions, which includes fully electric axles and
fuel-efficient conventional transmissions that pair seamlessly with
alternative fuels and electric propulsion, in addition to the eGen
Flex electric hybrid solution for the transit industry," said
Rohan Barua, Vice President of North
America Sales, Global Channel and
Aftermarket at Allison Transmission.
eGen Flex offers transit agencies a flexible and efficient path
to reducing emissions while maintaining high performance and
reliability. This system is capable of operating up to 50% of a
bus's typical route in engine-off mode, providing a solution that
is particularly beneficial in reducing emissions in urban areas.
The system's electric-only mode is activated through geofencing
technology and eliminates engine emissions and noise while loading
and unloading passengers and when operating in predefined dense
pedestrian areas and zero-emission zones.
