2025-09-18

On June 16, 2025, Cummins gathered with customers and value chain partners to celebrate its 50th anniversary in China with a special Customer Day. Representatives from over a dozen joint venture partners in China and 200 customer representatives from various industries, along with leaders from related industry associations, media, and Cummins employees, came together to review Cummins' glorious 50-year journey in China. In the face of the global energy transformation wave and development opportunities, Cummins proactively announced several new value enhancement initiatives tailored for the Chinese market, covering diverse energy technology solutions and service innovations to support China's energy transition and open a new chapter for development in China.
The President of the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, Su Zimeng; the Deputy Secretary-General of the China Automobile Industry Association, Li Shaohua; and leaders from main engine manufacturers such as Dongfeng Motor, BAIC Foton, Shanxi Automobile, LiuGong, Jianghuai, and Chongqing Machinery and Electric attended the event. They narrated their firsthand experiences, reflecting on Cummins' 50-year commitment to China, its sincere cooperation with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain, and its contributions to the vigorous development of various sectors in China, including transportation, engineering infrastructure, mining, telecommunications, and power, as it expanded globally.

In 1975, the first batch of mining trucks equipped with Cummins high-power diesel engines was put into operation in China, marking the beginning of Cummins' legendary journey in the country. In the years that followed, Cummins continually explored collaborative models with local enterprises. Starting in 1981, Cummins signed its first licensing agreement; by the 1990s, joint ventures and wholly-owned subsidiaries were established in cities such as Chongqing, Xiangyang, and Wuxi. In 2006, Cummins opened an engine technology research and development center in Wuhan, initiating local R&D operations. Subsequently, Cummins has increased its investment in China, tailoring efficient and clean technological solutions for the Chinese market while also exporting technology and supply chain capabilities, supporting China's innovation to reach a global scale.
Nathan Stoner, Vice President of Cummins and Chairman of Cummins China, stated: 'For 50 years, Cummins has evolved from being an engine manufacturer to a diversified power solutions provider, covering the entire industrial chain of engines, electricity, components, and new energy power, while providing comprehensive aftermarket support. Cummins resonates with the development of the Chinese economy, actively participating in the process of industrialization in China, establishing strong cooperative relationships with Chinese enterprises, and creating a model of win-win collaboration. We extend our gratitude to our partners who have journeyed with us, as together with Cummins, we transcend mountains and seas to build trust.'

Fifty years of knowing the mountains and seas, together creating the most beautiful life.
Driven by innovation and centered around the customer, the mission of 'Driving the World Forward to Achieve a Beautiful Life' is deeply ingrained in Cummins' DNA. Rooted in China for 50 years, Cummins' products and services are spread across the country: from the high plateaus of the 'Roof of the World' to the bustling cities, and the vast fields; from the majestic oceans to the desolate poles. Cummins Power has always been by the side of Chinese users, safeguarding and creating a better and more beautiful life together.At the event, users from various application fields gathered together, including truck drivers, mining operators, agricultural machinery users, construction machinery users, engineering vehicle users, data center builders, power customer representatives, express delivery representatives, Antarctic research station builders, marine equipment users, and female drivers who participated in the Cummins 'Freight Road Female Empowerment' public welfare project, all shared their wonderful stories of growing alongside Cummins. These compelling stories are vivid testimonies of Cummins' continued empowerment of users in China over the past 50 years.
Under the global trend of energy transition, relevant industries in China are ushering in a new opportunity for industrial upgrade. Adhering to the 'zero carbon target' strategy, Cummins is making breakthroughs in both traditional power emission reduction and new zero-emission technologies, resonating with China's sustainable development. At the event, Cummins announced several major projects covering multiple key areas, including:


- Using the "three driving forces" of emission upgrades to help customers achieve value upgrades: first, relying on technological accumulation and innovative achievements to take the lead in completing the reserve of advanced technologies for National VI/Non-Five emissions standards; second, integrating global multi-regional product experience and engineering R&D resources to ensure the smooth launch of new products; third, based on an understanding of specific application scenarios and deep data mining, achieving customized development, a full range of products, and comprehensive application coverage.
- Regarding the localization of products, Cummins' high-horsepower engines have achieved comprehensive coverage from 19 liters to 60 liters. In response to the ever-changing market environment and user demands, utilizing this localization capability, a brand new 30-liter product platform will soon be launched, specifically designed for the harsh conditions of mining operations, featuring superior power performance, outstanding reliability, and high fuel efficiency. It is set to be launched in 2026, bringing a new power experience to the mining industry and aiding mining customers in efficient operation and sustainable development.
- The latest multi-fuel powertrain 3.0 has been released, which uses the latest control technology to monitor operating conditions in real-time. Through precise algorithms, it optimizes the coordination of core components such as the engine, after-treatment system, transmission, and rear axle, ensuring that the powertrain system always operates in the optimal efficiency zone under different conditions. With the empowerment of the intelligent brain 3.0 (CBM 3.0), the diesel power system can achieve fuel savings of 1.3% to 6%, while the multi-fuel powertrain 3.0 is compatible with various low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels such as diesel, natural gas, methanol, and hydrogen. The natural gas power system achieves a gas savings effect of 1% to 2%.
