Cummins & NPROXX to Form JV for Hydrogen Storage Tanks
Read MoreHide Full Article
Cummins Inc. (CMI - Free Report) recently signed an agreement with NPROXX to form a joint venture (JV) for hydrogen storage tanks. Cummins and NPROXX will each own 50% of the new partnership and are expected to close the deal by the end of the first quarter of 2021. The jv will be included as part of Cummins’ New Power business segment.
The JV, which will still operate under the NPROXX name, will provide hydrogen and compressed natural gas storage products to customers for both on-road and rail applications. The collaboration will also bring rapidly-increasing hydrogen capability to Cummins, in order to expand its fuel cell and hydrogen-processing technology capabilities.
Cummins is committed to leading the way in its efforts toward a decarbonized future, which will require multiple power solutions, including advanced diesel, natural gas, electrified power, fuel cells, hybrids and other solutions. The addition of hydrogen storage to Cummins’ existing capabilities in hydrogen production and fuel cells will enable the firm to accelerate the viability and adoption of these technologies in commercial markets.
In 2019, Cummins announced two deals to expand its footprint in the hydrogen sector, including the acquisition of Hydrogenics Corporation. The purchase provided the firm with both proton exchange membrane (PEM), and alkaline fuel cells electrolyzers to generate hydrogen.
Further, Cummins focuses on introducing innovative products and strategies, such as partnerships, in order to record high returns. Besides widening the product portfolio, it collaborated with Hyundai Construction and Isuzu Motors in October 2018. The collaboration with Hyundai is to develop an electric powered mini excavator, while the one with Isuzu Motors will discover opportunities in the powertrain area. It has also invested in LOOP Energy and in the development of solid oxide fuel cells. In addition, Cummins has more than 2,000 fuel cell installations across a variety of on and off highway applications as well as more than 500 electrolyzer installations.
