Cummins adds that it is also providing an expanded range of offerings as part of an original partnership with Heliox (A Siemens Business).
The agreement with OpConnect, a minority and veteran owned company whose aim is to make the installation and management of EV charging accessible and efficient, will bring with it Cummins Adapta, a digital tool that monitors, manages, and optimizes EV charging operations. This tool was created in partnership with OpConnect to be a valuable asset for any EV charger owner and provides important insights into the performance of their EV Chargers. The agreement brings charging equipment that is network enabled with Cummins Adapta. These chargers are versatile; designed for public spaces, multifamily housing, and commercial fleets. They are rugged and compact, suitable for all weather conditions, available in single and three phase, and compatible with smart software solutions.
The agreement with sustainable development technology company Autel brings a broad range of level 2 EV chargers and level 3 EV chargers that now offer public point of sale systems while still meeting a wide variety of market segments and unique customer needs. The AC chargers range from 9.6 kW to 19.2 kW output power with flexible amperages capabilities. The DC chargers range from 40 kW to 640 kW output power and come in a variety of installation configurations, including mobile, compact, all-in-one, and hi-power distributed systems. Each charger included in the Autel agreement is designed to be an efficient, intelligent solution that customers will find easy to implement and use. The inclusion of these products greatly expands the range of solutions Cummins can offer to EV customers, aligning with Cummins vision to offer customers the right solutions at the right time for them.
The Mobility House
The agreement with The Mobility House, an EV charging technology company focused on shaping the future of energy and mobility, brings a reseller agreement allowing Cummins to offer ChargePilot, a smart charging and energy management system that charges EVs in a reliable, easy, and affordable way, to market. The ChargePilot platform, which manages charging for 2,500+ fleets, allows customers to manage multiple charging stations remotely via a web portal. Customers can distribute and manage available charging power, include charging stations by different manufacturers, track data with automatic cloud backups, and integrate with on-site distributed energy resources from Cummins for microgrid solutions, diesel or natural gas generators, battery energy storage systems, and solar power.
In Cummins’ original unveiling of its Heliox partnership, both a mobile 50 kW charger as well as a stationary 180 kW charger were announced. Cummins says the partnership agreement now includes the expanded full Flex family of charging systems, which includes 180 kW and 360 kW power outputs continuing with both plug and pantograph dispensing options. In addition, the agreement also includes a new single charging platform that offers 30 kW, 60 kW, and 44 kW bi-directional that can be ordered in wall, pedestal, and mobile configurations pending model. Additionally, Heliox and Cummins Sales and Service have solidified to expand aftermarket support for both brands through warranty services activation of Cummins technicians to provide best-in-class services and up time across US and Canada. Cummins says this deeper aftermarket partnership will bring the ability for both Heliox and Cummins to support customer operations and maintenance of EV charging systems through either company.
“In our original partnership announcement, we stated that Cummins has a storied history of building innovative partnerships that combine strengths to create incremental value for our customers, and that has not changed,” said Zach Gillen, vice president of distribution business sales and service North America. “We are excited to work with each of our new partners in the EV charging space to provide a wide range of products and services to better serve customers who rely on battery electric technology today, and support those who are looking to transition to EV technology in the future.”
