Hyderabad/IBNS: Tata Motors and Cummins Inc on Monday partnered to provide solutions in the hydrogen backed commercial vehicle arena in India.
On Monday, both signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the design and development of low and zero-emission propulsion technology solutions for commercial vehicles in India, including hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, fuel cells, and battery electric vehicle systems.
The MoU was signed in the presence of N Chandrasekaran, Executive Chairman at Tata Sons, and Tom Linebarger, Executive Chairman for Cummins Inc., at the Tata Sons Headquarters, Mumbai.
On this occasion, N Chandrasekaran, said, “We are excited to indigenize the cutting-edge hydrogen technology to offer our customers an expanded portfolio of green and future ready commercial vehicles, accelerate the adoption of sustainable mobility in the country, and to contribute towards India’s ‘net zero’ carbon emission goals.”
