Engine builder Cummins has acquired Johnson Matthey’s UK automotive battery systems business, a subsidiary that specializes in high-voltage battery systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. Cummins and Johnson Matthey also agreed to collaborate on the development of battery materials for commercial heavy-duty applications.

Last October, Cummins acquired Brammo, which is known for designing and developing low-voltage battery packs. The addition of Johnson Matthey’s high-voltage battery expertise gives Cummins capabilities across the entire range of energy storage options.
