Last June, Cummins and Taiyuan Heavy Machinery Group Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as Taiyuan Heavy Machinery) signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Beijing. The two sides have initiated comprehensive cooperation in areas such as diversified energy and power chains, global market resource sharing, and innovative business models.
To more accurately grasp the market direction and leverage the strengths of both sides, the leaders of both sides gathered again in Taiyuan in early April 2026. Zhan Li, General Manager of Cummins East Asia Distribution Division, Wang Leijie, Strategic Director of China Region, Fan Xiaolu, General Manager of the Main Engine Factory Division of East Asia Distribution Division, and other relevant leaders had an open and practical exchange with Wu Jianhua, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Vice Chairman and General Manager of Taiyuan Heavy Machinery, as well as the heads of relevant departments of Taiyuan Heavy Machinery, on the cooperation results and future cooperation priorities of both sides.
Walking hand in hand for over two decades
The cooperation continues to deepen.
The cooperation between the two sides began at the beginning of this century. Cummins has evolved from an initial parts supplier to a fully cooperative strategic partner today. Both sides have always adhered to mutual trust, mutual benefit, and complementary advantages. Over the past 20-plus years, they have achieved extensive cooperation accomplishments
Since the strategic cooperation was launched, both sides have continuously made positive progress in product development, market expansion and service support.
In the field of complete machine applications, the cooperative models have been continuously expanding, covering various application scenarios such as wide-body mine cars and aerial work platforms.
In terms of product portfolio, the cooperation has gradually extended from a single engine product to key systems such as axles, making the solutions more complete.
In terms of emission and regulatory compliance, the product portfolio has achieved comprehensive coverage from T0 to National IV and Euro V, supporting the business development of Taiyuan Heavy Machinery in both domestic and international markets.
Take excavator products as an example. Among the models over 13 tons, most of the models of Taiyuan Heavy Machinery are equipped with different models of Cummins engines as standard. In terms of service support, both parties have continuously optimized the response mechanism, achieving a response to pre-sale demands within one hour, resolution of minor faults within 24 hours, and completion of handling of major faults within 72 hours, providing stable and efficient guarantees for the customer's operation.
We not only deliver products, but also create additional value through services. Cummins' one-stop service, which is comprehensive, intelligent, fast, specialized and cost-effective, and centers on customer needs and continuously evolves, dedicated to creating long-term value.
