COLUMBUS, Ind. — Cummins Inc. today unveiled its all-electric powertrain demonstration truck.
Based on what appeared to be an International Class 7 cab and chassis, the two-axle Aeos features a production-intent Cummins electric power module — a single, direct-drive motor and battery pack.

Julie Furber, executive director of Cummins’ Electrified Power Business, said the truck is weight-neutral compared with its diesel-powered counterparts but features greater performance and zero emissions. Range with the Aeos’ single 140-kilowatt-per-hour battery pack is 100 miles, which will be able to be stretched to 300 miles with the addition of a second battery.
