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.

Even if Cummins doesn't turn away from its Diesel heritage, it sounds like they're aiming to set a foothold in the growing market for hybrid trucks and buses in Europe and Asia.
