Rooted in China and create brilliance together
Cummins’ business ties with China began in 1975 when Mr. Irwin Miller, then chairman of Cummins, visited Beijing for the first time to seek business cooperation. In 1979, when China and the United States established diplomatic relations, China’s opening up to the outside world began, and the first Cummins office in China was established in Beijing.
In 1981, Chongqing Engine Plant began to license the production of Cummins engines, and in 1995, it jointly established a joint venture engine factory in China with Cummins.
So far, Cummins has a total of 37 institutions in China, including 26 manufacturing enterprises with more than 13,000 employees, producing engines, generator sets, alternators, turbocharging systems, emission treatment systems, fuel systems, hydrogen manufacturing, storage and fuel cells and other products. 18 provincial customer support centers, and more than 3,000 authorized Cummins and joint venture 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 established six engine joint ventures with leading Chinese companies including Dongfeng Motor, Chongqing Electromechanical, Shaanxi Automobile Group, Beiqi Foton, Liugong Group, and JAC Motor for more than 40 years, and 19 of Cummins’ 24 engine series have been produced locally in China.
In August 2006, Cummins and Dongfeng jointly established an engine technology R&D center in Wuhan, Hubei Province. In addition to developing the most suitable products for the Chinese market, Cummins China Technology Center is also expanding cooperation with Chinese partners in the field of research and development.
Cummins’ sales in China (including joint ventures) will be $6.5 billion in 2024, and China has become one of Cummins’ largest and fastest-growing overseas markets 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.
