Cummins understands China market well

Many people have this question, why is Cummins blooming everywhere in China? Dongkang, Xikang, Fukang, Chongkang, Guangkang, Ankang… there are so many “kang”, how much do you know? Let’s take a look today.

The engine is the “heart” of modern automobiles. Founded in 1919, Cummins is a global power leader in the commercial and industrial markets, headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, USA. In 1924, Cummins’ first self-designed direct-injection engine, the F-type engine, began production.
In 1928, the production of U-shaped engines began, marking the official entry of Cummins into the field of automotive power. In 1933, Cummins launched the H-type engine, which later withstood the arduous test of war from the tropics to the Arctic Circle, completely opening the door to the North American commercial truck market.

In 1954, Cummins invented the revolutionary PT fuel injection system. Cummins engines were used in thousands of road construction equipment and heavy-duty trucks during the interstate highway construction boom. By the end of the 1960s, its sales and service network had expanded to 98 countries around the world.
As early as 1941, a large number of military trucks equipped with Cummins engines began to be introduced to China. In 1944, Chongqing sent it a letter of intent for cooperation, but it took 1975 to actually enter the Chinese market. Over the years, Cummins has insisted on forming strategic alliances with large Chinese enterprises to achieve common development.

The next person who became associated with Cummins was Dongfeng.
In 1984, Dongfeng decided to introduce Cummins B/C series medium-horsepower engines. On November 15, 1986, the two parties signed a technology transfer contract. On June 30, 1990, the first Cummins B series engine successfully rolled off the assembly line. In 1996, Dongfeng Cummins DCEC was established, and today its annual production capacity reaches more than 200,000 units.

The third person who became associated with Cummins was Xi’an.
On December 16, 2005, Xi’an Cummins XCEC was established and put into production in August 2007. Xi’an Cummins’ main products are positioned as high-end. The ISM11 and QSM11 series fully electronically controlled diesel engines are considered flagship engines in Europe and the United States and have a wide range of uses.

The fourth person who became associated with Cummins was Futian.
In 2006, Futian and Cummins began to contact each other. On March 26, 2008, Foton Cummins BFCEC was established to mainly produce light, medium and heavy diesel engines. In the field of light commercial vehicles, the installation rate of Fukang products is relatively high, but not in the field of heavy trucks.

The fifth company that became associated with Cummins is Guangxi.
On June 27, 2012, Guangxi Cummins GCIC was established, mainly producing 6.7L and 9.3L engineering diesel engines. Since its products are not involved in the commercial vehicle field, Guangxi Cummins’ presence has not been very high.

The sixth person to become associated with Cummins is Jianghuai.
In May 2018, Cummins acquired the shares of JAC Navistar and Navistar, and officially established Anhui Cummins ACEC. Both parties hold 50% of the shares. It mainly develops, produces and sells light and medium-sized diesel engines, with an annual production capacity of 250,000 units. , the main products are E2.5/E3.0, B4.0/B4.5. On November 29 this year, Anhui Cummins also celebrated its fifth birthday.
