Cummins has grown from a small US factory into a global multinational corporation. Currently, Cummins can independently develop, produce and produce light, medium, heavy and large-horsepower engines ranging from 2.8 to 95 litres, with power ranging from 49 to 4,200 horsepower. According to statistics, in 2014 Cummins sold nearly a million engines worldwide. And through the decades of globalization, Cummins's current rational global presence no longer depends solely on the performance of the North American market. This veteran engine manufacturer is making great strides toward the world.
Under the premise of not owning a complete vehicle brand, independent development and operation have been able to achieve such amazing results so far. What does it depend on?
Based on the North American market to become an absolute heavy truck leader
North America is the most developed region in the global transportation network. The logistics industry is mature and has a strong truck culture. Truck manufacturers are all in love with the development and manufacturing of various trucks. They are particularly demanding in terms of power. In recent years, heavy truck companies such as Mercedes-Benz and Volvo in Europe have continued to explore this market. So in this area, the market for commercial trucks, especially the heavy trucks, is fiercely competitive. Cummins's heavy-duty truck engine is the core product of its competition and is responsible for the task of "treating difficulties and overcome difficulties" in this market.
In the North American market, trucks are divided into 8 levels according to the total weight. Among them, the 4-7 level is the medium-card level, the 7-8 level is the heavy-duty level, and the 8-level heavy truck refers to the commercial trucks whose body weight exceeds (including) 15 tons. According to the latest statistics in 2015, Cummins's market share in North America's Tier 8 heavy trucks accounted for about 40%, and the market share of Tier 6 cards in Tier 6-7 reached more than 70%, and this figure has a further rising trend.
At present, there are four major manufacturers of heavy trucks in the North American market: Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, NAVISTAR, and PACCAR. They produce and sell a variety of well-known heavy truck brands. Cummins and the four companies have a good cooperation, providing a variety of heavy-duty engines for their heavy-duty truck products, including ISB, ISL, and ISX products, with emissions ranging from 6.7 to 15 litres, and power ranging from 185 to 600 hp.
Cummins participated in the development of "super truck"
As early as the 1980s, Cummins once stood out in the U.S. heavy truck market. Its market share was close to 70%. Later, as truck companies continued to launch their own branded engines, market share declined. However, in recent years, Cummins heavy-duty engines have been favored by North American truck manufacturers. This is due to Cummins’ long-term focus on the heavy-duty truck market. It has also worked with various partners on R&D and design to improve power performance while ensuring compliance with stringent emission regulations. At the same time, it also greatly reduces fuel consumption, coupled with its traditional durability advantages, making truck manufacturers more willing to adopt this independent engine brand, rather than blindly pursue their own proprietary brand engine products. The Cummins heavy-duty engine in the North American market has exceeded 7 million units.
In addition, in recent years, Cummins and Peterkat’s Group’s Peterbilt have jointly launched the “Super Truck†project. The project was initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy to improve the transportation efficiency of the 8-level heavy trucks. The Cummins-Peterborough Super Truck uses the Peterborough 579 heavy truck, which has excellent aerodynamic efficiency. The engine is based on the industry-leading ISX15 from Cummins, which converts waste heat into power to the crankshaft and uses electronically controlled software to optimize fuel consumption based on road conditions. In the actual driving condition test, the average fuel consumption of the towing trailer of the project is 22 liters/100 km. Compared with the benchmark trucks in 2009, fuel economy increased by 75%, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 43%, and 24-hour freight efficiency increased by 86%. In addition, Cummins has also worked with Eaton to optimize the new generation of automatic transmissions to improve the fuel efficiency of heavy trucks.
As an independent engine supplier, Cummins has long been the driving force of choice for almost all North American truck brands, gaining a leading position in North American heavy truck market.
Actively develop emerging markets and practice globalization strategy
Cummins has also been actively exploring overseas markets while achieving success in the North American market. Up to now, Cummins' engine production line has spread throughout North America, Europe, South America, China and India, and its business scope covers more than 190 countries and regions in the world. In 2014, nearly half of Cummins’ sales came from overseas markets. At present, China has become Cummins’ largest overseas market. In 2014, its sales reached US$3.9 billion and its engine reserves exceeded 2 million. In addition, Cummins is currently the largest engine manufacturer in India.
In China, Cummins has established Dongfeng Cummins, Xi'an Cummins and Foton Cummins joint ventures with Dongfeng Motor, Shaanxi Automobile Group and Foton Motor to produce ISZ, ISM and ISG heavy-duty engines, covering 11-liter to 13-liter heavy truck platforms. With large heavy-load torque, high fuel economy, strong power, good controllability, low noise, and average overhaul mileage of more than 1 million kilometers, it has become an important power option in China's high-end heavy truck market and export market.
New ISG engine ready to go
The Cummins ISG heavy-duty engine officially put into production at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. in June 2014 is Cummins' latest heavy-duty engine platform in the world. It combines the input of global customers with Cummins' top-level research and development capabilities and advanced technologies. The Cummins patented technology achieves a perfect blend of fuel economy, handling and reliability, and meets a wide range of global market needs and emissions standards at different stages.
In addition, the classic Cummins B, C, and L series engines that have become increasingly popular all over the world have also achieved major success in China. The Cummins ISB and its ISD series of platform products, as well as the Cummins C and L series engines, have been the main force of Dongfeng commercial trucks. Power configuration. In the field of light commercial vehicles, Cummins has also launched the ISF series, which was launched in 2009 and is currently being assembled on many domestic light commercial vehicles such as Foton, Jianghuai, CNHTC, Nanqi, and Kairui, with annual sales exceeding 100,000. Taiwan, where nearly half of its sales come from overseas markets, has become one of the most important tools for exploring Cummins' global market.
Global technology development leads the industry
Cummins has always been adhering to the "technology pioneer, driving the green future" concept. Since its inception, it has been leading the upgrade of diesel engine technology and has won several industry first and more than 1,500 effective patents. Many of the fastest speeds, best endurance, longest maintenance, and maximum power records in the diesel engine field were created by Cummins, and they were broken in succession.
As an independent engine manufacturing company, Cummins is able to adhere to today and achieve considerable market success, and is inextricably linked to its constant investment in innovation. Currently, Cummins can independently develop and produce all subsystems including core systems such as engine fuel systems, control systems, intake systems, exhaust gas treatment systems, and filtration systems. In 2014, Cummins invested 720 million U.S. dollars in engineering research and development and has 8 heavy engine technology research and development organizations in 17 technology centers worldwide. These R&D centers integrate resources during the product development process, greatly improving R&D efficiency, and developing localized localized products and technologies for different markets.
It is Cummins's efforts in innovation that have made it a global leader in diesel and alternative fuel engine technology. Cummins ultra-high pressure fuel injection technology, Cummins emission treatment technology, Cummins turbocharger technology, Cummins Filtration system, etc. have all played a positive role in upgrading the global engine technology.
