NOTE 11. ACQUISITION
In April 2017, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Eaton Corporation PLC and we closed the transaction on July 31, 2017. We purchased a 50 percent interest in the new venture named Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies for $600 million in cash. The joint venture will design, assemble, sell and support medium-duty and heavy-duty automated transmissions for the commercial vehicle market, including new product launches. We will consolidate the results of the joint venture in our Components segment as we have a majority voting interest in the venture by virtue of a tie-breaking vote on the board of directors. We expect to record total assets of approximately $1.2 billion upon consolidation, the substantial majority of which will be intangible assets and goodwill.
