The Californian company delivered 151 units of its light duty battery electric trucks to distributor Randy Marion Automotive Group, representing a total value of over USD8m.

It appears that the upgrades at the plant are meant to prepare it for the eventual development of Cummins’ fuel-agnostic engine platform, a series of engines designed to run on fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen and derived from a common base engine.

The prototype truck, which hauled a full trailer in the Swedish town of Älmhult, was installed with Westport’s ‘H2 HPDI’, a high-pressure direct injection system which allows an internal combustion engine to run on hydrogen.
