Cummins Celebrates 50th Anniversary in China with Customers
17 June 2025
On June 16, 2025, Cummins gathered with customers and value chain partners to celebrate its 50th anniversary in China with a special customer day event. The event was attended by representatives from more than a dozen joint ventures in China, 200 customer representatives from various industries, leaders from relevant industry associations, media, and Cummins employee representatives, all coming together to review the brilliant 50 - year journey of Cummins in China.
Facing the global energy transition wave and development opportunities, at the event site, Cummins released a series of value - added new initiatives tailored for the Chinese market, covering diversified energy - technology solutions and service innovations to help China's energy transition and open a new chapter of development in China.
In 1975, the first batch of mining trucks equipped with Cummins high - horsepower diesel engines were applied to Chinese iron mines, starting the legendary journey of Cummins in China. In the following years, Cummins has continuously explored cooperation models with local enterprises. From 1981, when Cummins signed its first license agreement, to the 1990s, when it established joint ventures and wholly - owned subsidiaries in cities such as Chongqing, Xiangyang, and Wuxi, and then in 2006, when Cummins established an engine technology research and development center in Wuhan to start local R & D, Cummins has continuously increased its investment in China, tailored efficient and clean - technology solutions for the Chinese market, and exported technology and supply - chain capabilities in the reverse direction to help Chinese innovation go global.
At the event site, users from multiple application fields also gathered together, including truck drivers, mine operators, agricultural machinery users, construction machinery users, engineering vehicle users, data center builders, power customers, express delivery representatives, Antarctic research station builders, ship engine users, and female drivers who participated in Cummins' "Women in Freight" empowerment public - welfare project. They also shared their wonderful stories of growing with Cummins. These wonderful stories are the vivid footnotes of Cummins' continuous empowerment of users in China for 50 years.
Under the global trend of energy transition, China's relevant industries have ushered in a new opportunity for industrial upgrading. Adhering to the "zero - carbon goal" strategy, Cummins has made breakthroughs in traditional power - train emission reduction and zero - emission new - technology research and development, and resonated with China's sustainable development. At the event site, Cummins released a number of key projects covering several key areas:
To help customers achieve value - added upgrades with the "three - pronged" emission - upgrade approach: First, relying on technological accumulation and innovation results, it has taken the lead in completing the technical reserves for National VI/Non - Road Tier V emission standards. Second, it integrates global multi - regional product experience and engineering R & D resources to ensure the smooth implementation of new products. Third, based on the understanding of specific application scenarios and in - depth mining of big data, it realizes customized development and full - series product coverage for all application scenarios.
In terms of product localization, Cummins' high - horsepower engines have achieved comprehensive coverage from the 19 - liter to 60 - liter platform. Facing the constantly changing market environment and user needs, using this localization capability, it will launch a new 30 - liter product platform in 2026, which is tailored for the harsh working conditions of mines and has more outstanding power performance, excellent reliability, and efficient fuel economy. It will bring a brand - new power experience to the mining industry and help mining customers achieve efficient operation and sustainable development.
The latest multi - fuel power - train 3.0 was released. It applies the latest control technology to monitor working conditions in real - time and optimize the coordinated operation of core components such as engines, after - treatment systems, transmissions, and axles through precise algorithms, ensuring that the power - train system always runs in the most efficient area under different working conditions. The multi - fuel power - train 3.0 can use a variety of low - carbon and zero - carbon fuels, including diesel, natural gas, methanol, and hydrogen. Empowered by the intelligent brain 3.0 (CBM 3.0), for diesel power systems, it can achieve a fuel - saving effect of 1.3% - 6%, and for natural gas power systems, it can achieve a gas - saving effect of 1% - 2%.
While continuously making breakthroughs in the traditional energy field, Cummins is also actively promoting the development of electric - drive business and has built core technology capabilities in motor, electric - control, and electric - drive system integration. Relying on its unique advantages in electric - control and power - system integration, Cummins will launch a new generation of electric axles and multi - in - one power electronic products for main drives, providing customers with customized solutions.
Cummins' after - market has upgraded its service system with five core values: "comprehensive, intelligent, fast, professional, and cost - effective." It has more than 2,000 service providers and nearly 20 central warehouses across the country to achieve full - network and full - life - cycle coverage. It provides customers with 24 - hour, full - process one - stop services through digital means and intelligent platforms. It relies on intelligent logistics to achieve second - level response, minute - level dispatch, and hour - level parts delivery. It has more than 5,000 certified technicians and more than 120 resident experts to ensure professional services and help customers save money, effort, and worry. With the five core values as the core and the global service layout as the support, Cummins will help customers achieve long - term development at home and abroad.
