Cummins Finalizes Acquisition of Meritor

Cummins Inc. announced that it has completed the acquisition of Meritor, Inc., a global supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking, aftermarket and electric powertrain solutions for commercial vehicle and industrial markets. 

The integration of Meritor's people, products and capabilities in axle and brake technology will position Cummins as a leading provider of integrated powertrain solutions across internal combustion and electric power applications. As demand for decarbonized solutions accelerates, ePowertrains will be a critical integration point within hybrid and electric drivetrains creating packaging and performance differentiation and the opportunity to provide advanced clean mobility products for customers. Cummins intends to deliver market-leading decarbonized solutions to global customers by accelerating Meritor's investment in electrification and integrating development within its New Power business. 

The acquisition of Meritor also adds products to Cummins' components business that present attractive growth opportunities across the Company's range of power solutions and applications. Cummins expects to utilize its global footprint to accelerate the growth of these core axle and brake businesses by serving commercial truck, trailer, off-highway, defense, speciality and aftermarket customers around the world.

Video: CLAAS | 3A – Advanced Automation and Autonomy – for efficient campaigns.

Together with AgXeed and AMAZONE, CLAAS is presenting a visionary concept that combines autonomous field work with digital logistics planning.??

3A stands for the holistic automation of agricultural processes, in which autonomous machines, implements and logistics systems are digitally networked with one another. The aim is to plan, coordinate and dynamically control the entire process chain in advance, for example for sowing, fertilising or plant protection. This results in adaptive, just-in-time organised processes in which resources are available exactly when and where they are needed. ??

The core is interoperable communication between digital platforms such as CLAAS connect and myAMAZONE operations, which is standardised by the AEF Agricultural Interoperability Network (AgIN). 3A illustrates how autonomous and highly automated systems can be combined to form an efficient overall solution.
