Cummins today launched two new diesel generator sets, namely Cummins Power 1.9MW and 2.7MW, in Chongqing. It also announced the microgrid hybrid technology path. By accelerating the localization pace of large-capacity units and technological innovation, it aims to further expand the coverage of domestic models and enrich the generator set product matrix. Provide data center users with more environmentally friendly high-power backup power supply solutions.
The new generation of products
The power has been significantly enhanced and the performance has been comprehensively upgraded
Further progress in environmental protection
The new products released this time continue Cummins' century-old technological accumulation and outstanding product quality, and on this basis, achieve a performance leap. They belong to the company's full range of units that comply with emission regulations - including models on platforms such as 19L/38L/50L/60L, and have been fully manufactured locally.
DCP 1.9MW generator set
60L Legendary power, hardcore quality
The DCP 1.9MW generator set is equipped with a QSK60 engine - a 60-liter displacement Cummins Legend power platform. The entire machine is made of high-strength alloy steel. Tens of thousands of units of the same family products have been delivered globally, and its hardcore quality has been tested over time.
The main power consumption is 1.9MW, precisely matching the continuous power supply demand of the data center. 32 units can be connected in parallel within 8 seconds, and the transient response capability is superior to the G3 index, truly achieving "zero-perception" power protection.
The product simultaneously meets the EPA Tier 2 and China's non-road National III emission standards, and has passed the dual certifications of CE and UKCA, ensuring global project compliance without worries. It has been tested to operate stably under extreme conditions such as high altitude, high temperature and high humidity, and has provided continuous and stable power for all scenarios including data centers, factories, communications, commercial and infrastructure projects.
DCP 2.7MW containerized generator set
Modularization, prefabrication, and mobility
The DCP 2.7MW containerized diesel generator set produced by Cummins Power is a fully integrated power generation system. With over 30 years of experience in data centers, we have made the containerized power system a "standard module. From the container shell to the "smart brain" control, it is integrated as a whole. We have accumulated over 10 years of experience in the operation and maintenance of large data centers.
The commonly used capacity of the unit is 3400kVA and the standby capacity is 3750kVA. The transient response meets the G3 communication standard, and the emissions simultaneously comply with China's non-road National III and EPA Tier 2 standards. It truly achieves stability upon plugging in and operates smoothly and efficiently 7×24.
Modular containers can be directly transported by six-axle or seven-axle trucks without the need for special transportation permits. Stackable design, high power capacity per unit area, make it can be quickly and flexibly delivered and installed t in batches, saving space, time and effort. It is the preferred product for the deployment of super-large data centers.
Locally developed"
Be close to the needs of users
Cummins' local R&D and intelligent manufacturing is not just a slogan, but a complete closed loop accumulated over 30 years in China: from customer demands, local engineering decisions, to intelligent manufacturing, supply chain and service maintenance, all are completed in China. The factory operates in accordance with the globally unified "zero defect" quality management system. At the same time, it integrates the full-chain digital control of Industry 4.0 and 5G, ensuring that each unit possesses world-class quality and Chinese speed.
Meanwhile, the Chinese R&D team makes independent decisions and can provide sustainable delivery for rapid iteration based on the different needs of data centers. The local supply chain ensures the timely availability of components, and in combination with over 30 service centers across the country, it provides more stable, efficient, flexible and well-matched power solutions for data centers.
During Cummins Power's over a century of operation, what we are most proud of is not the number of units we have sold, but every time we have turned the "impossible" into the "industry standard". We will continue to strengthen our localized R&D and manufacturing capabilities, achieve a strategic upgrade of "in China, for China, and for the world", and provide users with more valuable choices.

Long-term technological layout, winning in the future
The power demand for backup power in data centers is increasing day by day, and there is an urgent need to overcome the problem of power supply fluctuations.
Recently, NVIDIA released a white paper on 800V high-voltage direct current power supply, putting forward higher requirements for energy storage devices of AIDC. It is necessary to configure energy storage devices of different durations to stabilize energy consumption and control the power change rate through rapid real-time power compensation, thereby alleviating significant step changes. How to further address the issue of power supply fluctuations in data centers is also a difficult problem that the industry needs to overcome.
In response to this trend, Cummins Power has taken this opportunity to release its long-term technological development blueprint. Wang Tao, the chief engineer of Cummins China's Power Systems Division, stated that the team will not only accelerate the localization pace of high-power units but also introduce a microgrid hybrid technology path. By integrating the developed generator sets and energy storage products, and through advanced energy management and control technology, they will provide hybrid power solutions for AIDC. This solution can provide stable and reliable power supply for IT equipment, further enhancing the reliability and durability of the generator set. At the same time, it can also reduce the peak power of the power supply and distribution system, appropriately lower the equipment capacity, and save the initial investment.
Cummins always stands side by side with its customers - whatever they need, we develop and manufacture, providing efficient, reliable and prompt solutions to safeguard the "last line of defense" for the power supply in the digital world.
