UK Government to fund Cummins-led consortium to advance air handling systems for heavy-duty powertrains including hybrid systems and fuel cells
By Jim Gibbins - 1st June 2021
UK – USA-based Cummins Inc, through its UK subsidiary, Cummins Turbo Technologies Ltd of Huddersfield, is to lead a consortium focused on decarbonising heavy-duty powertrains in a UK-government and industry funded project, called TRIDENT. Cummins claims TRIDENT will accelerate British development of air handling technologies by three years. The funding also allows Cummins and its partners (see below) to allocate additional engineers and resources to develop new air handling technologies for hybrid and fuel cell powertrains.
The partners in the project include Holtex Ltd1 and Aeristech Ltd2 and the University of Bath, which has links with the UK government sponsored Advanced Propulsion Centre3 in Warwick.
