Accelera by Cummins and Isuzu Motors Limited announced a fully integrated, zero-emissions battery electric powertrain designed for Isuzu’s F-series medium-duty trucks. Production is set to begin in 2027 for Class 6 and 7 vehicles aimed at the North American market.

The new powertrain combines Accelera’s cutting-edge technologies, including next-generation lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the 14Xe eAxle featuring ELFA motor and inverter, and a significantly more compact and modular Power Controls and Accessory System (PCAS) 3.0. This marks a significant milestone in the decarbonization of commercial fleets, offering enhanced performance, safety, and serviceability.

“For our customers in the U.S. and Canada, we are very excited to expand our product offering… to include an F-Series BEV zero-emissions truck,” said Shaun Skinner, president and CEO of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. “This addition assists us in providing customers more options to meet their medium-duty truck needs and maximize operational efficiencies.”

Amy Davis, President of Accelera, added, “The integration of Accelera’s advanced components into this truck showcases our expertise and our commitment to delivering innovative solutions tailored to our customers’ needs.”

The electric F-Series will feature a newly designed low-cab forward chassis for improved maneuverability and driver comfort. Its flexibility supports a range of applications, from urban deliveries to regional hauling, and even school and transit buses.
