Since entering the mining industry in 1926, Cummins has built a nearly century-long legacy in the global mining industry, anchored by reliable products and close partnerships. For over a century, from helping early mining equipment overcome power bottlenecks to continuously upgrading technology alongside the global mining industry's intelligent transformation, Cummins has consistently aligned with the industry, earning the trust of mining companies worldwide with its stable performance and forward-thinking innovations.

1975 marked a pivotal year for Cummins' deep penetration into the Chinese market. Its engines entered China for the first time, powering a piece of mining equipment. This not only marked a new chapter in the brand's development in China, but also became a vital link for the exchange of mining power technology between China and foreign countries. In the decades that followed, Cummins maintained its roots in China, gaining a deep understanding of the complex operating conditions and development needs of local mines. It continuously promoted the localization of its technology and products, gradually transforming itself from a "foreign power provider" to a "partner in China's mining development."

Cummins' mining power portfolio in China has undergone a significant evolution, with a comprehensive upgrade in its domestically produced high-horsepower mining power capabilities. From its industry-leading mining engine portfolio, covering displacements from 19L to 60L and power ranges from 600-3000hp, to its comprehensive after-sales and service system spanning the entire equipment lifecycle from R&D to operation, maintenance, and retirement, Cummins is empowering Chinese mining operations to achieve new heights of greater efficiency, sustainability, and profitability with integrated solutions. Amidst increasingly stringent emission standards, this product line flexibly meets multiple environmental requirements, from China III/Tier 2 to China V/Tier 4F, aligning with policy guidance while reducing environmental investment costs for mining companies.

Customized Development

To address extreme operating conditions such as plateau hypoxia, low temperatures, and complex oil quality, key components are reinforced for strength and durability. This ultimately reduces engine fuel consumption by an average of 10%, significantly reducing the mine's fuel costs. Combined with a long-life split-flow centrifugal filter, maintenance intervals are extended to an average of 1,000 hours, effectively reducing equipment downtime and improving overall mine efficiency, ensuring "fast response, stable output, and non-stop" power in extreme environments.

World-Leading High-Horsepower Engine Factory Standards

Combining high-precision cylinder block machining, complete engine assembly, testing, and painting—with 0.004mm precision machining capabilities and a flexible production line—the base boasts an annual production capacity of 23,000 units. Furthermore, it can deliver globally within 18 days with predictable delivery, precisely responding to urgent local customer needs with "China Speed." Notably, the core components produced at the base not only meet domestic engine assembly needs but are also exported overseas under stringent quality control standards, bringing "Made in China" power to the global stage.

Local Intelligent Innovation: A Completely Closed R&D Loop

Through three local technical centers—the Cummins Power Systems Chongqing Technical Center (responsible for high-horsepower technology R&D and system integration), the Chongqing Cummins High-Horsepower Engine Technical Center (focused on high-horsepower engine testing), and the Cummins Alternator Wuxi Technical Center (responsible for the full-process R&D and delivery of electric motor products), Cummins has achieved a localized closed loop from "innovation conception - design and development - testing and verification - on-site delivery." This enables faster problem solving and more flexible technical response, precisely matching the personalized needs of the Chinese market and customers. Furthermore, driven by the "dual carbon" goals, Cummins is actively developing green power solutions. With successful case studies in methanol power and hybrid mining solutions, these solutions help mining customers achieve their carbon reduction goals smoothly without sacrificing product performance and reliability, promoting the green transformation of the mining industry.

Global Service, Non-Stop Operations

We create integrated high-horsepower service solutions centered around the five key values of "Fully Intelligent, Fast, Specialized, and Economical." In China, Cummins has deployed 28 service locations, over 100 on-site technicians, and 60 mobile service vehicles to provide personalized service at the front lines of mining operations. Nineteen pre-positioned warehouses stock over 30,000 commonly used parts, and 37 high-horsepower engines offer 24/7 immediate replacement service, minimizing equipment repair time. Furthermore, with over 500 self-operated locations and over 10,000 authorized service providers in over 190 countries worldwide, Cummins offers comprehensive technical support and service guarantees to Chinese OEMs exporting to overseas markets, ensuring the peace of mind of domestically produced mining equipment in the global market.
