Strong Joint Expansion of Agricultural Machinery Segmentation Market

        The cooperation between Liugong and Cummins has a long history, as early as the early establishment of Guangxi Cummins, Liugong began to cooperate with it. In recent years, Guangkang Engine has been equipped with large tonnage loaders, crawler excavators, mining dump trucks, and forklifts in Liugong. With strong power, good fuel economy, and excellent after-sales service capabilities, it has won praise from users and rapidly grown into a satisfactory power brand.
         In 2022, in order to meet the needs of users in the Chinese market, Cummins launched a new product that meets the four emissions of non road countries. These products have the characteristics of reliability, durability, energy conservation, high fuel economy, and convenient use. They are completely developed and produced locally, and have been widely recognized by Chinese users in practical applications. During the four stage product development process, Cummins fully considered the special application conditions in China and tailored emission solutions for Chinese users. It not only achieves low emissions, but also takes into account the relatively relaxed requirements of Chinese non road users for fuel quality, achieving efficient production.

          As the only Cummins engine production base in the world that focuses on non road fields, Guangkang fully relies on Cummins' advanced global technology platform to combine Cummins' advanced technology, mature management experience, Chinese user usage habits and complex working conditions in the development process of non road country IV products, enabling it to better meet the needs of OEM manufacturers. Loaders and excavators are the traditional advantageous markets of Guangkang. While serving traditional advantageous customers well, in order to promote sustainable development of the enterprise, Guangkang actively expands some segmented markets, such as agricultural machinery, air compressors, and other power markets.

              Agricultural machinery and engineering machinery have both differences and similarities. Agricultural machinery, like engineering machinery, has a complex operating environment and high requirements for power performance. The power of agricultural machinery is usually designed with low speed and high torque, while engines for engineering machinery pay more attention to power output, usually using high-power engines. Both agricultural and engineering machinery focus on product reliability and stability, with high requirements for fuel economy and environmental protection. As an advocate and practitioner of diversified power solutions, Cummins has accumulated rich experience in engineering machinery, shipbuilding, industrial power generation units, and other fields, which provides the possibility for it to expand the agricultural machinery market.

Joint research points to the high-end agricultural machinery market

         The Liugong LT3604 articulated heavy-duty tractor exhibited this time is equipped with an L9 plus engine developed by Guangxi Cummins. This engine meets the requirements of National IV emissions and has the characteristics of being more reliable, fuel-efficient, and intelligent. Inheriting Cummins' century long experience and leading global engine technology, this super power is tailored for Chinese users based on the characteristics of heavy-duty equipment properties and application conditions. Compared to the third national product, its overall compatibility is better, its power density is higher, it is stronger in the same displacement, more fuel-efficient, and has better instantaneous response. At the same time, Cummins remote digital online upgrade technology is adopted, with functions such as online intelligent diagnosis, remote calibration, and remote experts. It can adapt to various harsh working conditions and has been repeatedly verified for nearly 10000 hours, proving to be an excellent, stable and reliable product.
When it comes to why we chose to cooperate with Cummins, Tang Tao, Vice President and Tractor R&D Director of Agricultural Machinery Research Institute of Guangxi Liugong Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd., stated that the reason why Liugong Agricultural Machinery joined hands with Guangkang is based on the good cooperation foundation in the field of engineering machinery between the two parties before; Secondly, this engine has mature application experience in loaders.

           It is reported that this tractor is mainly used in large farms and deep plowing conditions, with an engine power of 272kW. Its advantages not only lie in stability, reliability, and fuel efficiency, but also in not selecting oil, with high work efficiency. This is certainly a good choice for users. At the same time, this engine has a high level of intelligence and is equipped with a GPS remote control system, which has functions such as remote fault diagnosis, remote calibration and upgrading. This will undoubtedly bring great convenience to future unmanned or autonomous driving.

            In order to meet the different needs of our customers, cummins will also launch products with horsepower ranging from 200 to 364 horsepower in the agricultural machinery market in the future, providing customers with more choices. With the official release of Liugong 360 horsepower articulated tractor LT3604, it marks a crucial step in the cooperation between Liugong and Guangxi Cummins in the field of agricultural machinery, and also indicates that Cummins Industrial Power has officially entered the agricultural machinery market. We believe that Guangxi Cummins will bring us more surprises in the field of agricultural machinery power in the future!
