Cummins began developing its electrification capabilities more than a decade ago. Upon the addition of its fully-electric four-mode hybrid powertrains, EDI will broaden Cummins’ electrification expertise and products.

EDI’s portfolio of hybrid-electric drivetrain systems, the EDI PowerDrive series, has travelled more than six million miles in a fleet setting in the United States and China. EDI’s products and diverse customer base will provide a springboard for Cummins into electrified markets.
