After half a month of testing, with the support of professional equipment and testing methods from China Automotive Research Institute, the results of the 17th Truck Energy Efficiency Test were announced on December 18th, revealing the "energy-saving champions" of each group of trucks. Among them, 90% of the champion models are equipped with Cummins engines.
Cummins engines, with their strong advantages in the fuel and gas fields, have been awarded the title of "energy-saving engine", which is also a precious gift to Cummins' upcoming 50th anniversary celebration in China.
In 2024, the commercial vehicle industry is undergoing profound changes, with "oil to gas" becoming the annual focus. Faced with the common goal of reducing energy costs, reducing service expenses, and optimizing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of vehicles, Cummins, with its 50 years of deep accumulation in the Chinese market, has not only witnessed every transformation and upgrading of the truck industry, but also actively participated in it.
At the 2024 Commercial Vehicle New Drive Model Summit, Suo Guotao, Chief Engineer of Cummins China Engine Division, shared the reasons why Cummins power is more energy-efficient.
With TCO as the core, we aim to promote energy conservation and reduce consumption Cummins regards Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as an important indicator comparable to reliability and durability. Through unremitting efforts in energy consumption indicators, Cummins aims to help customers achieve higher operational efficiency and lower usage costs, thereby assisting customers in success.
With a century of technological accumulation, we adhere to technological innovation. With Cummins' century long technological accumulation, Cummins not only improves the thermal efficiency of the engine body, but also actively applies various new technologies, tools, and digital means to reduce energy consumption, ensuring Cummins' leading position in the field of energy conservation.
Rooted in China and rooted in the market. Cummins' localization strategy in China has achieved significant results, and its East Asia R&D center in Wuhan has become the largest R&D base outside of North America. This is not only a sign of Cummins' successful localization, but also provides strong support for Cummins products to adapt to the Chinese market.
In the future, Cummins will continue to be committed to technological innovation and work together with upstream and downstream of the industry chain to further reduce energy consumption of Chinese trucks and achieve green and sustainable development.
