Cummins China Technology Center 10 years old!
In August 2006, the first Sino foreign joint venture diesel engine technology research and development center was officially launched in Hubei, Wuhan, which aroused great concern in the industry at that time. Cummins East Asia R & D center. 10 years later, it ushered in 10 years of birthday with countless fruits.
In charge of China and Russian business vice president Cummings Cao Side (Steve Chapman) group, general manager Cummings vice president and chief technology officer Peng Lixin Cummings, China District Dongfeng engine company bear Zhenhong and deputy general manager Huang Naixu and other guests today gathered to celebrate the outstanding achievements made by the development of East Asia in 10 years.
Cummings East Asia technology R & D center is Cummings's seventeenth research and development organization in the world. After 10 years of development, it has grown into the second largest R & D base outside the U. S. technology center. A total investment of nearly $one hundred million, the technical team has more than 300 people, a total of 24 including the use of test bench into emission test, and the control center, including the pilot laboratory, applied mechanics, material science, chemical analysis, cold start, advanced test and development platform and laboratory, vibration and noise. Provide technical services such as product design, verification and release, technology and product development, product support and product life cycle management, and vehicle system integration.
Cummings attaches importance to localization development, because the purpose of Cummings technology research and development is to develop the most appropriate technology is the key". Reviewing the history of Cummings in China for more than 40 years, the process of technological development can be divided into two stages. In the first stage, Cummins introduced the mature technology platform in Europe and America into China directly, and then realized localization production. In the second stage, Cummins aims at the change of Chinese market, understands the needs of Chinese customers, develops the applicable power, and creates a new platform. One of the most important vectors for the second phase is Cummins East Asia Research and development center. Since 2006, the R & D center undertakes the most work of Cummings in China in the local platform development and optimization, from the engine to the key parts, and to power products, product technology platform for the development of East Asia R & D center the extensive coverage of the automobile, engineering machinery and electric power market. Cummins East Asia R & D center to participate in the development of the market demand for the most typical products, including Dongfeng Cummins ISZ heavy engine, and Foton Cummins ISG heavy engine and other fist products.
Cummins East Asia R & D center is also an important force in China's emission reduction environmental protection technology. The engine test bench can support the euro V and euro VI standard and non highway third, the fourth phase of emission test, light heavy horsepower bench can be in Europe, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia and Brazil emissions certification, to provide a pass for Chinese host plant to enter the international market". Cummins East Asia R & D center is committed to developing power technologies that meet both stringent emission regulation requirements and user performance requirements such as fuel economy. Since 2006, R & D center has developed light, medium and heavy-duty diesel engines for Cummings and joint ventures to meet state 3, country 4 and country 5 emissions, and is carrying out technical support for the national 6 diesel engine. At the same time, Cummings Chinese in the innovation and development of the industrial use of exclusive power, the one and only the power products are tailored for loaders, excavators, bulldozers and forklift; low cost and high performance to meet the market and invested in 5 emissions of natural gas products.
As the first Sino foreign joint venture and cooperation engine technology center, Cummins East Asia R & D center is also the most critical carrier of R & D cooperation between Cummins and Dongfeng Automobile and other Chinese partners. Including ISZ, ISG and construction machinery exclusive power L9.3 and other products, have condensed the chain innovation of Cummings and partners in technology. The technical development strategy by the end user oriented, collaborative global technology resources, the East Asian Development and China OEM customers can correctly grasp the needs of users of the pulse, complete platform for the development of high efficiency and high quality, and lay a solid foundation for the success of the product market. At the same time, Cummins East Asia R & D center as an important incubator for advanced engine technology, has become an important force to promote technological progress and industrial upgrading of related industries in china.
In addition to the traditional diesel engine, R & D center also developed related technologies and products, including new energy, hybrid power, natural gas (CNG) and other alternative fuel engines and other forward-looking power technology. At the same time, R & D center is also committed to the promotion of Cummings advanced technology and development experience in china.
