Foton Cummins no-road power units made the debut at the BICES, collaborating with partners to promote the industry's transformation and upgrading.
On September 23rd, the highly anticipated China (Beijing) International Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines and Mining Machines Exhibition was grandly held at the China International Exhibition Center. Foton Cummins, in collaboration with leading enterprises in the construction machinery sector, showcased a number of star equipment equipped with Foton Cummins power, highlighting its comprehensive strength in the non-road field.
Foton Cummins showcased its F4.5 engine at the exhibition. With its professional reliability, powerful efficiency, and outstanding fuel-saving performance, it meets the application requirements of the construction machinery industry and helps the industry achieve transformation and upgrading.
Full-scenario coverage
Foton Cummins power supplies energy to various equipment
Foton Cummins no-road engines, with their outstanding adaptability and reliability, have become the preferred power source for many mainstream construction machinery brands.
At the Liugong booth, the 890T wheeled loader equipped with the Foton Cummins X12 engine is regarded as the "heavy-duty star". This equipment is designed for heavy-duty working conditions such as ports and mines. Relying on the powerful 500-horsepower engine of Foton Cummins X12 and its extremely long maintenance cycle, it achieves efficient operation while maintaining fuel economy and ease of operation, demonstrating the stable output advantage of Foton Cummins no-road engines under harsh working conditions.
Another model of Liugong 915FW wheeled excavator is equipped with Foton Cummins F4.5 engine, featuring flexibility, efficiency and low-noise operation. It is suitable for agricultural and forestry operations, etc. The Foton Cummins F4.5 engine is equipped with the new D6 turbocharger from Cummins, achieving a significant improvement in fuel economy. The combination of low-noise design and comfortable cab configuration also takes into account both operation efficiency and operator experience, making it the preferred power solution for small and medium-sized engineering scenarios.
"Foton Cummins no-road business has always adhered to the strategy of global technical resources and local scenario customization. It aims to bring in Cummins' global experience and advanced technologies, while also addressing the actual pain points of Chinese customers in complex working conditions. This is the core logic for our establishment in the Chinese market." Foton Cummins' Customer Support Director Gao Xiaofeng explained at the exhibition site. From mining heavy-duty equipment to municipal machinery, Foton Cummins always focuses on working condition requirements rather than simply providing products.
Precise matching and customized development
Responding to complex working conditions in China with technology
Currently, the construction machinery industry is accelerating its transformation towards green, intelligence and efficiency. Foton Cummins precisely aligns with this trend. From the environmentally friendly design that meets the national IV emission standards, to the efficient power output compatible with intelligent electronic control systems, and to the customized adjustments for different working conditions, Foton Cummins has always focused on technological innovation as its core, providing customized solutions for all scenarios for equipment manufacturers.
"Many customers believe that the higher the engine horsepower, the better. However, in reality, precise matching is the key - ensuring that the power precisely fits the equipment's operating conditions, neither wasting performance nor compromising efficiency and reliability. This is the starting point of all our product development efforts." Feng Zhongkang, the deputy chief engineer of non-road products at Foton Cummins, emphasized this when explaining the technical concept. "Taking the Foton Cummins X12 and F4.5 engines as examples, the former focuses on the balance between power reserve and environmental protection for heavy-duty scenarios, while the latter emphasizes flexibility, efficiency, and low consumption compatibility for small and medium-sized equipment, covering a wide range of needs from large-scale mining equipment to municipal work equipment, forming a full-scenario power matrix. This customized for scenarios research logic not only helps partners enhance their market competitiveness, but also drives the entire construction machinery industry towards the direction of "low consumption, green, and efficient".
In response to the complex working conditions in China, Foton Cummins has gone to great lengths in customizing the engine design. Sun Yunlong, the business director of Cummins Foton, said: "The working conditions in China are extremely complex. From the high-altitude areas in the northwest to the humid and hot regions in the south, a one-size-fits-all power solution is not suitable. Every customized design of our engines is based on thorough research and repeated verification of data from different scenarios of operation." For example, for the high-altitude and cold environment in the northwest, Foton Cummins optimizes the engine's turbocharging system to ensure torque does not decrease at high altitudes; for the high-temperature and high-humidity environment, it increases the area of the radiator and upgrades the waterproof and anti-corrosion components to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
Deepen collaboration
Work together with partners to build a new ecosystem
During the exhibition, numerous industry clients showed great interest in Foton Cummins engines and engaged in in-depth discussions regarding product performance, compatibility, and service support.
Gao Xiaofeng, the Director of Customer Support for Foton Cummins, mentioned in discussing future plans: "Through cooperation with partners such as Liugong, XCMG, Sany, Lingong, and Zoomlion Heavy Industry, we aim to enable more industry customers to appreciate the hard power of Foton Cummins' no-road engines not only the advantages in parameters, but also the in-depth understanding of actual operation scenarios. In the future, we will continue to deepen collaborative R&D with construction machinery manufacturers, and launch more targeted solutions for specific fields such as mining, infrastructure, municipal services, and logistics."
This China (Beijing) International Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines and Mining Machines Exhibition not only showcases the technical strength of Foton Cummins no-road engines, but also vividly demonstrates its customer-centered philosophy. As the construction machinery industry undergoes accelerated transformation, Foton Cummins will continue to use technology as its pen and cooperation as its ink, and keep exerting efforts on the path of promoting the green and efficient development of the industry.
