Cummins, Stellantis get federal dollars to expand electric vehicle, parts manufacturing
Two manufacturing plants in Indiana will join nine other union shops in helping to nearly double the number of electric vehicles made in the U.S. every year. Cummins and Stellantis will receive part of a $1.7 billion federal grant to transform their plants.
Cummins already makes some electric motors. Amy Davis is the president of Accelera, a relatively new department at Cummins that focuses on zero-emissions vehicles. She said by the time the project is done, about half of the company’s Columbus plant will be dedicated to manufacturing parts for these types of cars and trucks.
