Cummins in China
Cummins’ business relationship with China began in 1975, when Mr. Irwin Miller, then the chairman of Cummins, visited Beijing for the first time to seek business cooperation. In 1979, China and the United States established diplomatic relations, and at the beginning of China’s opening to the outside world, the first Cummins office in China was established in Beijing.

Since then, Cummins has started localized production of engines in China. In 1981, the Chongqing Engine Factory began to license the production of Cummins engines, and in 1995, it established a joint venture engine factory in China with Cummins.

So far, Cummins has a total of 33 institutions in China, including 23 manufacturing companies with more than 12,000 employees, producing engines, generator sets, alternators, filtration systems, turbocharging systems, emission treatment systems, and fuel systems. , hydrogen energy manufacturing, storage and fuel cells and other products; 18 provincial customer support centers, and more than 2,000 authorized dealers.

Cummins has long insisted on forming strategic alliances with large Chinese enterprises to achieve common development. As the first foreign-funded diesel engine company to come to China for localized production, Cummins has been established with leading Chinese companies including Dongfeng Motor, Chongqing Electromechanical, Shaanxi Automobile Group, Beiqi Foton, Liugong Group, and Jianghuai Automobile for more than 40 years. Six engine joint ventures have been established, and 15 of Cummins’ 24 engine series have been produced locally in China.

Cummins is an early foreign power supplier that established a R&D center in China. In August 2006, the engine technology R&D center jointly established by Cummins and Dongfeng was opened in Wuhan, Hubei. In addition to developing the most suitable products for the Chinese market, Cummins China Technology Center is also expanding its cooperation with Chinese partners in the field of research and development. So far, Cummins has 4 R&D centers in China, including Cummins East Asia R&D Center, Wuxi Turbocharging Technology Center, Chongqing High-horsepower Technology Center, and Shanghai Hydrogen Energy R&D Center (opening in 2023).

In 2021, Cummins’ sales in China (including joint ventures) will be US$7.4 billion, and the production and sales of engines will exceed 640,000 units. China has become one of the largest and fastest growing overseas markets for Cummins in the world.

After nearly 50 years of development, Cummins has become an integral part of China’s power industry, and has made its own contribution to the modernization of China’s engine industry through joint ventures, wholly-owned production and technology transfer.
