In August 2015, Cummins announced that Jennifer Rumsey , former vice president of engineering technology for the Cummins Engine Division , was appointed as the chief technology officer of Cummins. This signified that Rong Zhanning became the first company to hold the top position in engineering technology since Cummins was founded. Female manager. In early 2016, at the Cummins East Asian Technology R&D Center in Wuhan, China, the China Truck Network reporter saw Rong Zhanning and conducted an in-depth interview on Cummins' technology and R&D in China. Win-win cooperation, strengthen the local production model Since entering the Chinese market for more than 40 years, Cummins has become an integral part of China's commercial vehicle power sector. Cummins is not only providing one-way domestic market with suitable products, but more importantly, it is deeply rooted in the Chinese market by manufacturing centers and technology centers. China's commercial vehicle power and equipment manufacturing industry has developed steadily. With regard to the business model of Cummins in China, Rong Zhanning summarized it in two stages: Initially, Cummins introduced a very mature and successful product platform in the world to China to achieve localized production. In China, we have formed a joint venture and cooperation alliance with different OEMs and achieved very great achievements. With the development of time and continuous ploughing of China's commercial vehicle power market, Cummins' business in China has developed to a new stage. Cummins will develop a brand-new product platform suited to the actual needs of Chinese users based on the specific needs of the Chinese market and users. These new platforms include ISZ 13L , jointly developed by Cummins and Dongfeng, and ISG 11L and 12L , which are jointly developed with Futian. These are the representative achievements of Cummins International Technology Co., Ltd. and joint venture partners with China for new product research and development. “This business model will be based on localization technology, combined with Cummins global technology development, can better adapt to the needs of OEMs and end-users to develop new models. In addition, based on certain success in the Chinese market, These products will also supply the global market in the future." Rong Zhanning concluded. It is difficult to achieve a firm footing in China's commercial vehicle power market without deep technical reserves and a strong local team. Rong Zhanning highly affirmed the role of the East Asia Technology Center: "An important part of Cummins' global technological resources and technological capabilities is the Cummins East Asia Technology Center, which has played a crucial role in developing products for the Chinese market." According to Yu Haoyue, general manager of Cummins East Asia Research and Development Center, Cummins East Asia Research and Development Center is not only Cummins’ 17th R&D institution in the world, but also a key link in Cummins’ global technology chain, and it is also a fruit of Cummins’s localization of technologies in China. Continuously digest and absorb the essence of Cummins technology, and its technical capabilities have been continuously improved. Currently, Cummins East Asia Research and Development Center has become Cummins's second largest research and development organization in the world after the headquarters of Columbus Technology Center. Cummins has made 90% of its technical support from the East Asia Research and Development Center. Today, the East Asia R&D Center is entering a new phase of technical cooperation and creatively adopting leading international technologies to provide professional and efficient technical support for the development and matching of low-emission, high-performance, high-quality engines and key components. At the same time, the R&D center is also committed to the promotion of Cummins advanced technology and development experience in China, sharing Cummins' advanced R&D resources and product platform, helping China's technical team to grow rapidly, and strengthening its technical innovation with partners and key OEMs. Cooperation. Leading the market segments in all regions of the world For a long time, Cummins's power products have won the recognition of customers with high quality and technology leadership. Cummins's technological superiority in the field of engines is undoubtedly an important part of its core competitiveness. However, there is no doubt that the international market competition is not just about quality and price. As the world's largest independent engine manufacturer, how to meet the differentiated market demand is also a key issue that Cummins needs to think about. “Cummins is a globally operating company and has a deep understanding of the global commercial vehicle power market. Each market segment has its own needs and needs its own technology, and Cummins attaches great importance to the needs of each market segment. "It is not difficult to read from the expression of Rong Zhanning, and it is important to pay attention to the needs of each market segment, and adopting different technical routes for different markets is one of the secrets that Cummins has long been leading the global commercial vehicle power market. Taking the sustainable technology that meets the most demanding emission regulation requirements as an example, Cummins first introduced the SCR technology (selective catalytic reduction technology) to meet European Union standards (Euro 6), and then introduced the cooling exhaust gas recirculation technology; For the U.S. market, Cummins first introduced cooling exhaust gas recirculation technology and then introduced SCR technology. The two are different in the order of introduction of the technology route. "As China's emission standards continue to escalate, Cummins continues to strengthen the certification and testing of its products." Peng Lixin, Cummins vice president and chief technology officer of Cummins China, said that it is less than two years from the implementation of the country's four emission standards, environmental protection The ministry and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the implementation details of the State Five emission standards. Beijing is also striving to start implementing the Sixth National Emission Standard in 2016. In the face of increasingly stringent domestic emission standards, Cummins responded more freely. After all, products with higher emission standards have been fully validated in the European and American emission regulations markets, and Cummins has operated in China for 40 years. The market and user needs are well understood. At the same time, as the only independent power manufacturer in the world that possesses all the engine key component technologies, Cummins's component technology advantages and system integration capabilities, including emission treatment systems, are second to none. For China's increasingly stringent emission standards, Cummins has joined the "transient" testing of products and the certification and testing of in-service vehicles. These testing methods will continue to increase with the upgrade of emission regulations. Rong Zhanning said: "After the implementation of the National IV emission standards, Cummins's products have adopted SCR technology. By the end of the six-year period, Cummins has introduced exhaust gas recirculation and particulate trap technology to cope with the continuous upgrading of China's emission standards. †“For China, Cummins has an unparalleled advantage in that Cummins has a very strong business foundation in China and has a very strong East Asia research and development center with very strong technical capabilities. These conditions can all help Cummins adapt to the changes in the Chinese market. Regional differences, the development of a technology and product platform to meet the needs of the Chinese market.†Rong Zhanning added. Cummins' forward-looking positioning: power solutions provider Looking at the current domestic passenger car market, new energy passenger cars represented by pure electric buses are undoubtedly a major industry hotspot. The power types in the passenger car sector are changing. The direction of technological development and national policies are also tilting toward the new energy sector. Traditional power buses are not Then the only choice for users to purchase vehicles. In response to this industry status, how does Cummins respond? "The positioning of Cummins is not just a diesel engine manufacturer but a power solution manufacturer. Although diesel engines are still dominant in the market, Cummins has been exploring different technical routes and carrying out some forward-looking technical reserves. ." In response to the above problems, Rong Zhanning told the China Truck Network reporter that according to Cummins's judgment, natural gas engines will have a bright future in the Chinese market. Cummins has launched two domestically produced natural gas L8.9G and B6.7G in the Chinese market in the past two years. The engine platform has a good feedback from the market, and the development and introduction of natural gas engine products will continue in the future. Faced with the ever-changing market structure, judging the situation and actively seeking change are the necessary capabilities of an international company. While actively promoting natural gas power, Cummins has a very clear understanding of the entire commercial vehicle power market. "Cummings observed that the prices of new energy vehicle power batteries are gradually decreasing, and Cummins is also actively exploring and researching new energy power. At this stage, diesel is still a very important part of the Cummins product line, but Cummins is also exploring. Different technical routes for each market segment,†said Rong Zhanning. Forty years ago, when China’s door to opening up was not fully opened, Cummins came to China to seek cooperation and became one of the earliest foreign companies to “test water†in China. Forty years later, Cummins has established 30 organizations in China, including 19 manufacturing companies, and has a service network of 12 regional service centers, 33 customer support platforms, and more than 2,000 authorized dealers. China has become Cummins’ largest overseas market. The powerful East Asian technology R&D center also highlights the importance of the Chinese market in Cummins’ global development strategy. Based on the above, Cummins's development prospects in China are in a period of time. The corporate values ​​of “being better, faster, and always leading in an innovative spirit†will also drive Cummins to introduce the most advanced products and technologies to the Chinese market simultaneously. Products that meet the needs of Chinese users continue to infuse vigorously the development of China's auto equipment manufacturing industry. About Jennifer Rumsey: Rong Zhanning joined the Cummins Engine Division in 2000 as the head of engineering technology. Over the years, she has held senior positions in various functional departments of the Engine Division and the Components Division, including advanced technology development, new product development, and product engineering. Under her leadership, Cummins has made remarkable achievements in the development of automotive engines and industrial engines. It has not only further expanded its technological advantages in emission upgrades in mature markets such as North America and Europe, but also successfully launched a new one in the Chinese market. The series of new engine products and the establishment of a powerful global technology center in China and India have effectively promoted the industrialization of Cummins in Asia.
