With the continuous advancement of the country's The dual-carbon policy strategy and the continuous strengthening of circular economy policies, remanufacturing, as an advanced manufacturing model that is green and low-carbon, is becoming an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. closely follows the policy orientation, deeply integrates into the overall situation of China's circular economy development, and relying on Cummins' global power technology advantages and the solid foundation of the Xiangyang automotive industrial cluster, has embarked on a high-quality development path of policy alignment and local deep integration.

Strategic leadership
Four year of hard work for a single achievement
Remanufacturing is not merely renewal, but rather a process that uses industrialization and standardization methods to rejuvenate old engines. As a core business segment that both Dongfeng Company and Cummins have given high attention to, Dongfeng Cummins Remanufacturing has always been positioned as "factory-level remanufacturing". It not only aims to ensure that the product performance is comparable to that of new machines, but also provides warranty services at the same high standards as new machines, safeguarding the overall value of customers throughout their entire lifecycle.
Relying on the global power technology advantages of Cummins and its zero-carbon target strategy, Dongfeng Cummins has established a full-chain local service network covering old parts recycling, re-manufacturing production, and product sales. By the end of 2025, the annual production capacity of re-manufactured engines of Dongfeng Cummins has expanded to 3,000 units. Over the past four years, Dongfeng Cummins' re-manufacturing business has successfully completed the strategic upgrade from "business restart" to "business scale expansion".

High-quality manufacturing with complete chain quality control
As the core production base for remanufactured power products, Dongfeng Cummins always focuses on market demands, with rapid delivery capabilities and comprehensive quality control as its core, to build a modern assembly workshop that integrates efficient production and meticulous manufacturing. From part processing to complete machine delivery, it has established a production system that covers the entire chain of "manufacturing - assembly - testing - delivery".
In response to the increasingly diverse market demands, Dongfeng Cummins has implemented a process-based and modular production model, completely resolving production bottlenecks. For batch orders and emergency repair orders, Dongfeng Cummins has established a special production scheduling mechanism, scientifically coordinating production capacity and shortening the entire process time from assembly, inspection to delivery. Whether it is regular batch supply or sudden after-sales maintenance needs, it can respond quickly and deliver promptly, fully demonstrating the role of the "main force" in production supply assurance.
In the field of remanufacturing, quality is the foundation upon which everything is built. Dongfeng Cummins strictly adheres to high-end manufacturing standards and has established a complete chain quality control system from components to complete machines: Recycled components first undergo multiple pre-tests such as flaw detection, cleaning, and size verification to eliminate substandard parts; During the assembly process, workers strictly follow precise process requirements such as torque and clearance, and complete the assembly using professional tools; After the finished products are off the line, they undergo unified bench testing and durability simulation tests. Only when all indicators are qualified can they be stored.
Meanwhile, Dongfeng Cummins strictly implements the quality traceability management system. The production information of each remanufactured engine is fully recorded throughout the process, enabling issues to be traced and responsibilities to be identified. As the remanufacturing team of Dongfeng Cummins puts it: "What we deliver is not an 'improved old machine', but a brand-new power product that has undergone factory-level remanufacturing."
From regular batch supply to emergency repair response, from the automotive market to non-road construction machinery, Dongfeng Cummins' remanufactured products, with their flexible adaptability to various scenarios, effectively meet the differentiated needs of end customers. A batch after another of qualified products is delivered on time, providing efficient services and earning trust through quality. The good track record of performance has further enhanced the brand market competitiveness of Dongfeng Cummins' remanufactured products.

Breaking through in the no-road field
Project sets a benchmark
The remanufactured racing tracks are not limited to the automotive market.
In the non-road machinery sector, a large number of equipment such as mixers and rollers that have been in service for many years are facing the dual pressures of emission upgrades and power loss. The traditional major repair schemes are time-consuming and costly, and the equipment availability rate is difficult to guarantee. Dongfeng Cummins, relying on its mature remanufacturing technology system, has launched a set of low-cost and highly reliable remanufactured engine solutions, creating tangible cost reduction and efficiency improvement value for customers.
Compared with traditional major overhauls, Dongfeng Cummins' remanufacturing has significantly improved the equipment's availability rate. While ensuring that the power performance is on par with new machines, it has also greatly reduced the operating costs for customers, vividly demonstrating the company's commitment to caring for customers throughout the product's entire life cycle.

Green Growth – Win-Win Future
The core competitiveness of remanufacturing lies not only in technology, but also in its contribution to green development.
Focusing on the mainstream application scenarios in the domestic commercial vehicle aftermarket and the construction machinery sector, the factory-level remanufactured engines of Dongfeng Cummins have obvious advantages in terms of environmental protection and economy. Compared with new engines, they can significantly reduce manufacturing costs, providing customers with a more economical option. Through recycling, the smelting and manufacturing costs of metal raw materials are reduced, significantly lowering energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with the sustainable development concept of empowering green manufacturing with technology and creating more value through recycling.
Adhering to the factory-level remanufacturing concept, Dongfeng Cummins offers the same quality guarantee for remanufactured products as for new machines. Through high-precision testing and long-term thermal cycling tests, the product quality and reliability have been fully verified. This not only effectively eliminates customers' concerns about the performance and durability of remanufactured engines, but also contributes the "Dongfeng Cummins strength" to China's circular economy development with tangible environmental benefits.
Remanufacturing is not only a crucial link between resource conservation and industrial upgrading, but also an important fulcrum for Dongfeng Cummins to implement its green and sustainable development philosophy. Guided by the company's "312+" strategy, Dongfeng Cummins will continue to deeply engage in remanufacturing business, further optimize the product range and enhance the adaptability to specific markets. At the same time, it is actively exploring industrial integration development. From old parts recycling to remanufacturing production, it is fulfilling the commitment of "full product life cycle service". Standing at the new starting point of the company's 30th anniversary, Dongfeng Cummins is injecting an endless "core" impetus into China's high-quality circular economy development with more efficient, reliable and green power products.
