On the 8th of this month, Cummins Fuel System (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. officially commenced operations in the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone. This marks a significant milestone as it is Cummins' first production facility outside of North America. The initial phase of the Wuhan plant involved an investment of $10 million, focusing on the manufacturing of diesel engine fuel system components such as common-rail fuel pumps, CELECT injectors, and fuel pumps.
Wuhan has become a strategic location for Cummins’ expansion in China. Alongside the new fuel system plant, the city also hosts the Cummins Distribution Service Center and the East Asia Research and Development Center, reinforcing its role as a key hub for the company’s operations in the region.
Ray Am-lung, Vice President and General Manager of the Fuel Systems Business Unit at Cummins Inc., emphasized the importance of advanced fuel systems in optimizing engine combustion and reducing emissions. “With China set to implement the Euro III standard in 2008 and Euro IV in 2011, the Wuhan plant will provide our Chinese partners with cutting-edge technologies that meet evolving environmental regulations and customer expectations,†he stated.
Hua Jinsheng, vice president of Cummins Inc. and president of the East Asia Region, highlighted the strategic value of the Wuhan plant. “Integrating clean power technologies with global standards to serve local customers is central to our China strategy. The fuel system products from Wuhan will work in tandem with Cummins’ joint ventures, such as Dongfeng Cummins and Xi’an Cummins, ensuring continued market leadership for Cummins engines in China.â€
The Wuhan plant is the third major component company established by Cummins in China, following Cummins Turbo Systems (formerly Holcerth) and Cummins Filtration (formerly Fleetguard). In 2008, the Cummins Emissions Processing System Beijing plant will also open, making Cummins the first foreign diesel engine manufacturer to introduce four critical engine subsystems—filtration, air intake, fuel, and aftertreatment—into the Chinese market.
Cummins has over 80 years of expertise in fuel system development and production. The Fuel Systems Business Unit serves both Cummins and Scania heavy-duty diesel engines, with production facilities located in Indiana, Texas, Juarez, Mexico, and now Wuhan, China.
This expansion underscores Cummins’ long-term commitment to the Chinese market and its dedication to delivering innovative, environmentally responsible solutions.
