Cummins Inc., a leading U.S. truck engine manufacturer, and Dutch company Heliox have joined forces to offer electric vehicle chargers in North America.
The partnership will bring two options to the market: the Mobile 50, a mobile 50-kilowatt DC electric vehicle charger that can be plugged into any compatible power source without fixed installation, and the Flex 180, a stationary 180-kilowatt DC charging system that provides fleet customers with optimal flexibility in charging.
This solution features up to three dispensers, offering static, sequential, and dynamic charging options for plug and pantograph. As part of the agreement, Cummins will distribute and sell both electric vehicle chargers to its North American distribution network and provide repairs and planned maintenance.
This collaboration marks a significant step in Cummins’ commitment to transitioning to battery electric vehicles while providing cost-effective charging solutions for fleets.
“We have a storied history of building innovative partnerships that combine strengths to create incremental value for our customers. Our relationship with EV charging partners builds on this legacy, and we are excited to work together to better serve customers who rely on battery electric technology. It’s yet another step in our journey to Destination Zero,” Zach Gillen, general manager of Cummins Sales and Service North America, said in a statement shared by both companies. “Our collaboration with Heliox will deliver a reliable solution to support fleet customers in reaching their sustainability and emissions goals.”
