Recently, a batch of buses equipped with Cummins X11 Euro 6 engines was successfully delivered to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and is set to be exported to the European market. To date, the cumulative export orders for X11 Euro 6 engines in the bus market have exceeded 1,000 units.

It is reported that after arriving in Europe, these buses equipped with Cummins X11 Euro 6 engines will be used for intercity transportation operations by ALSA, a leading bus operator in Spain.

ALSA Buses in Spain

One of the leading bus operators in Europe, ALSA not only covers the entire territory of Spain with its domestic routes but also operates international routes connecting over 300 destinations in 16 countries, including Europe and Morocco.

Entering the European Market

Precision Customization of Power

The European market has always been the focus of fierce competition among leading global bus brands. Moreover, the Euro 6 emissions standard sets extremely stringent limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions.

As an important partner for Chinese bus manufacturers, Cummins has continuously innovated over the years, enriched its bus product portfolio, and introduced domestic Euro 6 engines. With its outstanding emissions performance, excellent reliability, and significant cost - effectiveness, Cummins has helped Chinese OEMs enter the high - end European market, competing with international bus brands from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, and achieving a series of breakthroughs.

The X11 Euro 6 engine delivered this time is a flagship product developed by Cummins, based in China and oriented towards the global market. At the beginning of product development, Cummins assembled engineering teams from China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, fully integrating global R & D resources and working closely with domestic OEMs. The engine was customized for the unique needs of buses, with features such as air conditioning integration, dual 240A generator drive system, and a large - capacity metal flat - bottom oil pan. These features significantly enhance the overall vehicle noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance and effectively reduce vehicle energy consumption.

Exceptional Quality and Service

Empowering Chinese Bus Partners

Since entering the European market in 2020, the X11 Euro 6 engine has won high recognition from users for its outstanding performance and reliable quality.

In countries and regions such as Israel, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Cyprus, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Turkey, and Australia, buses equipped with the X11 engine are active in key areas such as intercity transportation and tour passenger transport. They provide strong support for local transportation development with their efficient power output and reliable operation.

In the journey of expanding overseas markets, Cummins, with its profound technical expertise, has deeply cooperated with Chinese bus OEMs. From accurately interpreting the strict standards of regulations and certifications, to carefully refining the outstanding performance of engine performance, and to deeply integrating the performance optimization of the entire vehicle powertrain, Cummins has worked hand - in - hand with Chinese OEMs to create more competitive Chinese bus products.

In addition, relying on its extensive global service network, Cummins has also carried out all - round cooperation with Chinese bus companies in key areas such as service outlet construction, personnel training, spare parts supply, and service process optimization. This collaboration provides solid support for Chinese buses to travel globally.
