Cummins in China
The history of Cummings and China dates back more than half a century to the 1940s. On March 11, 1941, the President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, signed the Lease Act to provide wartime assistance to 38 countries, including China. The "Lending Act" includes military defense patrol boats equipped with Cummins engines and military trucks.
At the end of 1944, a Chongqing company sent a letter to Cummins Corp. seeking to establish commercial ties and conduct localized production of Cummins engines in China. Irvine Miller, general manager of Cummins Engine Co., expressed great interest in this letter in his reply. It is hoped that Cummins will build a factory in China after the Sino-Japanese War. For reasons known to all, Mr. Miller's idea can only wait until the 1970s 30 years later. With the gradual relaxation of Sino-U.S. relations, it is expected to become a reality.
Cummins invests more than US$240 million in China.

Cummins was one of the earliest Western diesel engine companies to produce engines locally in China. In 1981, Cummins began to license engines for production at the Chongqing Engine Plant. In 1995, Cummins' first Chinese joint venture engine plant was established. So far, Cummins has a total of 21 institutions in China, 14 wholly-owned and joint venture companies, and more than 5,400 employees, producing engines, generator sets, alternators, filtration systems, turbocharging systems, exhaust systems, and Products such as processing and fuel systems have a service network consisting of 12 regional service centers and more than 300 authorized dealers.
Cummins has long established a strategic alliance with large Chinese companies to achieve common development. As the earliest foreign-invested diesel engine company to come to China for local production, Cummins has established four engine joint venture plants with leading companies of commercial vehicles in China, including Dongfeng Motor, Shaanxi Automobile Group and Beiqi Foton, for more than two decades. Cummins 15 Eight of the eight engine families have been produced locally in China.
Cummins was the first foreign-owned diesel engine company to establish an R&D center in China. In August 2006, the engine technology R&D center set up by Cummins in cooperation with Dongfeng Corporation was officially opened in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
In 2007, Cummins sold more than US$1.7 billion in China, which was a 50% increase from 2006, accounting for nearly 10% of Cummins’ global sales, including joint ventures. China has become Cummins’ largest and fastest growing overseas market. .
