Cummins entered China.

The cooperation between Cummins and China began at 1975. At that time, Mr Owen Miller, chairman of Cummins, visited China for the first time and became one of the first American entrepreneurs to seek business cooperation in China. Under the far-sighted guidance of Irving Miller, Cummins has been increasing investment and deepening cooperation with local strategic partners for more than 30 years, becoming a leading enterprise in the diesel engine industry in China.

From 65438 to 0979, at the beginning of China's reform and opening up, the first Cummins China office was established in Beijing. 198 1 year, Cummins signed a license agreement with China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, becoming one of the earliest foreign-funded enterprises to carry out localized production in China. Since then, Cummins has been committed to establishing strategic cooperative relations with large enterprises in China, including Dongfeng Motor Corporation.

Cummins has invested more than 240 million US dollars in China. As the largest foreign investor in the diesel engine industry in China, Cummins has 65,438+04 joint-venture and wholly-owned manufacturing enterprises in China, producing engines, turbochargers, filters, exhaust systems, fuel systems, alternators and generator sets. Cummins 17 series engine products have been produced in China according to the strict quality standards of Cummins worldwide.

Cummins has established an after-sales service network consisting of 10 regional service centers and more than 230 authorized dealers and service providers in Chinese mainland. By the end of 2006, more than/kloc-0.0 million Cummins engines were put into use in China.

Cummins is full of confidence in Chinese mainland's economic development, so it set up Cummins East Asia Headquarters in Beijing on 1997 to manage Cummins business development in Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Mongolia. It is one of the first multinational companies to set up regional headquarters in Beijing.

China has become one of the fastest growing overseas markets of Cummins in the world. In 2006, Cummins turnover in China exceeded US$ 654.38 billion for the third consecutive year, making it one of the largest and fastest growing overseas markets of Cummins in the world.

In 2005, Cummins Global Board of Directors held its first meeting in China, and announced that it would invest 300 million US dollars in the next five years, and the business volume in China in 20 10 would reach 3 billion US dollars.

After more than 30 years of development, Cummins has become an indispensable part of the engine industry in China, and has made its own contribution to the modernization of the engine industry in China through joint venture/sole proprietorship production and technology transfer.

Dongfeng: Building an Evergreen Foundation with Technology As the largest independent engine enterprise in the world, Cummins is undoubtedly a typical enterprise with an evergreen foundation. Since its establishment more than 80 years ago, it has continuously invested in diesel engine technology, which has kept its technological leading edge in this field and played a significant role in promoting the development of the industry.

Synchronous creation is wonderful.

As the largest joint venture company of Cummins abroad, Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company has taken "technology" as the top priority in establishing its core competitiveness from the first day of its establishment. Relying on the rich technical resources of the parent company, Dongfeng Cummins adopted the technology introduction strategy of "aiming at high-end and keeping pace with the world". At the fastest speed, the most advanced technology and products will be developed and manufactured locally and shared with domestic users. Twenty years ago, when Dongfeng first came into contact with Cummins and introduced Cummins B series products for licensed production, the domestic diesel engine industry was still blank in many key technologies such as supercharging and intermediate cooling. These technologies were first used in Dongfeng Cummins engine before promoting the development of the whole industry. Taking the electronically controlled engine as an example, Dongfeng Cummins not only started to produce products meeting Euro III emission standards in 2003, but also produced engines on the same platform as Cummins products in European and American markets, that is, products meeting Euro III, Euro IV and Euro V emission regulations, which means that the products are backward compatible and the replacement cost of new products is lower and more convenient.

Analyze and guide the design

At the same time, in order to make Cummins technology better adapt to the vehicle application environment in China, Dongfeng Cummins has carried out adaptive development. "Our product development is based on an in-depth understanding of China automakers and end users." Dongfeng Cummins related technical personnel said. Based on this R&D concept of analysis guiding design, Dongfeng Cummins first collects users' usage information and needs from marketers, and then feeds them back to the R&D department for in-depth analysis, summarizing users' deepest needs, and finally helps the design department to develop reliable engines that meet various application environments. Such an engine is bound to be closer to the market, partners and end users. In order to cooperate more closely with the automobile factory, Dongfeng Cummins also participated in the product design test of the automobile factory and discussed the best power solution with the automobile factory. This kind of strategic cooperation and mutual binding product developers can further optimize vehicle configuration, reduce product failure rate and improve product performance for engine manufacturers, which will undoubtedly shorten the running-in period of vehicles and engines and greatly improve the research and development progress of new products.

Improve independent research and development capabilities

On the basis of technology introduction and innovation, Dongfeng Cummins has not slowed down the pace of independent research and development. China is moving from a big automobile consumption country to a big automobile manufacturing country and a big R&D country, and Dongfeng Cummins is gradually growing into an enterprise with certain R&D originality. In 2005, Dongfeng Company and Cummins Company began to cooperate to develop a new generation 13 L heavy truck engine in China. The intellectual property of this product, which responds to the development trend of heavy-duty truck market in the future, is completely owned by Dongfeng Cummins, which is an important step for Dongfeng Cummins to move towards independent innovation. Before R&D's 13 L heavy truck engine, Dongfeng Cummins also built capacity in R&D before many joint ventures, and established the first joint venture engine R&D center with Cummins of the United States in Wuhan. The center will not only shorten the time for R&D to respond to local demand, but also undertake some tasks of Cummins global R&D.. It has enhanced the R&D strength of Dongfeng Cummins, and Dongfeng Cummins has taken an important step from a simple manufacturer to a company integrating manufacturing, R&D, marketing and service. The high-end positioning of technology and products has made Dongfeng Cummins occupy a favorable position in the market, and long-term technical accumulation has also laid a solid foundation for Dongfeng Cummins' "evergreen foundation".
