Does Cummins use Chinese parts?

The Chinese government does not allow foreign companies to own any business outright in their country. They do allow companies to have facilities as long as a Chinese business controls at least 50% ownership. It is for this reason that Cummins has joined such companies as :

Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company

Chongqing Cummins Engine Company

Xi’an Cummins Engine Company

Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company

Guangxi Cummins Engine Company

These joint venture companies own and operate factories all over China. Some parts produced are used in new Cummins engines manufactured in China and the USA. Other parts made there are marketed as Cummins OEM parts. Both are manufactured to strict Cummins specifications and meet all warranty related requirements.

So, the next time you see a Genuine Cummins box or bag with English AND Chinese writing on them rest assured you are indeed buying a Cummins Original Equipment Manufactured part.
