Allison Transmission Partners with Cummins on New Electric Hybrid Drivetrain to Serve Transit Market Starting in 2027
Allison Transmission has announced a collaboration with Cummins Inc. to integrate and certify a Cummins B-Series engine with Allison's eGen Flex® electric hybrid propulsion system for the transit market. This partnership aims to meet the EPA's 2027 emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles. The eGen Flex system can operate up to 50% of a bus's typical route in engine-off mode, reducing emissions in urban areas. It uses geofencing technology to activate electric-only mode in predefined zones, eliminating engine emissions and noise during passenger loading and in dense pedestrian areas. This collaboration reinforces Allison's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
Allison Transmission ha annunciato una collaborazione con Cummins Inc. per integrare e certificare un motore B-Series Cummins con il sistema di propulsione ibrida elettrica eGen Flex® di Allison per il mercato dei trasporti. Questa partnership ha l'obiettivo di soddisfare i requisiti di emissioni EPA del 2027 per i veicoli pesanti. Il sistema eGen Flex può operare fino al 50% del percorso tipico di un autobus in modalità motore spento, riducendo le emissioni nelle aree urbane. Utilizza la tecnologia di geofencing per attivare la modalità elettrica in zone predefinite, eliminando le emissioni del motore e il rumore durante il carico dei passeggeri e nelle aree pedonali ad alta densità. Questa collaborazione rafforza l'impegno di Allison verso soluzioni di trasporto sostenibile.

Esta asociación tiene como objetivo cumplir con los estándares de emisiones de la EPA para 2027 para vehículos pesados. El sistema eGen Flex puede operar hasta el 50% del recorrido típico de un autobús en modo motor apagado, reduciendo las emisiones en áreas urbanas. Utiliza tecnología de geofencing para activar el modo eléctrico solo en zonas predefinidas, eliminando las emisiones y el ruido del motor durante la carga de pasajeros y en áreas peatonales densas. Esta colaboración refuerza el compromiso de Allison con soluciones de transporte sostenible.
앨리슨 트랜스미션은 커민스 Inc.과의 협력을 발표하며, 커민스 B 시리즈 엔진을 앨리슨의 eGen Flex® 전기 하이브리드 추진 시스템과 통합 및 인증하기로 하였습니다. 이 파트너십은 중장비 차량에 대한 EPA의 2027년 배출 기준을 준수하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다. eGen Flex 시스템은 버스의 일반적인 경로의 최대 50%를 엔진 꺼짐 모드에서 운영할 수 있어 도시 지역에서 배출가스를 줄여줍니다. 이 시스템은 지오펜싱 기술을 사용하여 미리 정의된 구역에서 전기 전용 모드를 활성화하여 승객 탑승 중 및 혼잡한 보행자 지역에서 엔진 배출가스와 소음을 제거합니다. 이번 협력은 앨리슨의 지속 가능한 교통 솔루션에 대한 헌신을 강화합니다.
Allison Transmission a annoncé une collaboration avec Cummins Inc. pour intégrer et certifier un moteur de la série B de Cummins avec le système de propulsion hybride électrique eGen Flex® d'Allison pour le marché des transports. Ce partenariat vise à répondre aux normes d'émissions de l'EPA pour 2027 pour les véhicules lourds. Le système eGen Flex peut fonctionner jusqu'à 50 % du parcours typique d'un bus en mode moteur éteint, réduisant les émissions dans les zones urbaines. Il utilise la technologie de géorepérage pour activer le mode électrique uniquement dans des zones prédéfinies, éliminant les émissions et le bruit du moteur lors de l'embarquement des passagers et dans les zones piétonnes denses. Cette collaboration renforce l'engagement d'Allison envers des solutions de transport durable.
Allison Transmission hat eine Zusammenarbeit mit Cummins Inc. angekündigt, um einen Cummins B-Series-Motor mit Allisons eGen Flex® elektrischen Hybridantriebssystem für den Verkehrsmarkt zu integrieren und zu zertifizieren. Diese Partnerschaft zielt darauf ab, die EPA-Emissionsstandards für 2027 für schwere Fahrzeuge zu erfüllen. Das eGen Flex-System kann bis zu 50% der typischen Route eines Busses im Motor-Ausschaltmodus betrieben werden, wodurch die Emissionen in städtischen Gebieten reduziert werden. Es verwendet Geofencing-Technologie, um den elektrischen Modus in vordefinierten Zonen zu aktivieren und die Emissionen und Geräusche des Motors während des Passagierladens und in dicht frequentierten Fußgängerzonen zu eliminieren. Diese Zusammenarbeit stärkt Allisons Engagement für nachhaltige Transportlösungen.

Insights
This partnership between Allison Transmission and Cummins marks a significant step towards meeting stringent EPA27 emissions standards in the transit sector. The integration of Allison's eGen Flex® with Cummins' B-Series engine creates a hybrid solution that could reshape the market landscape.
The eGen Flex's ability to operate in engine-off mode for up to 50% of a typical route is particularly noteworthy. This feature not only reduces emissions but also addresses noise pollution concerns in urban areas. The geofencing technology for activating electric-only mode in specific zones demonstrates a smart approach to balancing performance and environmental considerations.
For investors, this collaboration signals long-term market positioning for both companies, potentially leading to increased market share in the evolving low-emission transit sector. However, the 2027 timeline suggests a gradual impact on financials, requiring patience from shareholders.
The Allison-Cummins partnership is a strategic response to the EPA's Phase 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for heavy-duty vehicles. This proactive approach, three years ahead of implementation, showcases industry leadership in emissions reduction.
The eGen Flex system's 50% engine-off capability and geofencing features align well with urban emission reduction goals. However, it's important to note that this is a hybrid solution, not fully electric. While it significantly reduces emissions, it doesn't eliminate them entirely.
The initiative's success will likely depend on transit agencies' adoption rates and the system's real-world performance. Policymakers and environmental groups will be watching closely to see if this technology can deliver meaningful emissions reductions in line with climate goals.
This partnership positions both Allison Transmission and Cummins favorably in the evolving green technology market. By addressing upcoming EPA regulations, they're potentially securing future revenue streams and mitigating regulatory risks.
Investors should note the long-term nature of this initiative, with products targeting the 2027 market. This suggests a need for sustained R&D investment, which could impact near-term profitability but strengthen long-term competitive positioning.
The transit market focus is strategic, given increasing urban sustainability initiatives. However, the financial impact will depend on factors like production costs, pricing strategy and market adoption rates. Investors should monitor these aspects, along with any government incentives that could accelerate adoption of such hybrid technologies in public transportation.
Industry leaders collaborate to integrate and certify Allison eGen Flex® with a Cummins B-Series engine to meet EPA27 Emissions Standards.
"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.
