Cummins in China

The history of Cummings and China dates back more than half a century to the 1940s. On March 11, 1941, the President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, signed the Lease Act and provided wartime assistance to 38 countries, including China. The "Lending Act" includes military defense patrol boats equipped with Cummins engines and military trucks.

At the end of 1944, a Chongqing company sent a letter to Cummins Corp. seeking to establish commercial ties and conduct localized production of Cummins engines in China. Erwin Miller, general manager of Cummins Engine Co., expressed great interest in this letter. It is hoped that Cummins will build a factory in China after the Sino-Japanese War. For reasons known to all, Mr. Miller's idea can only wait until the 1970s 30 years later. With the gradual relaxation of Sino-U.S. relations, it is expected to become a reality.

Cummins invests US$310 million in China. As the largest foreign investor in China’s diesel industry, Cummins’ business relationship with China began in 1975. Mr Cummins’s chairman, Irvine Miller, visited Beijing for the first time. One of the earliest US entrepreneurs to seek commercial cooperation in China. When China and the United States established diplomatic relations in 1979, China’s opening to the outside world began. The first Cummins China office was established in Beijing.

Cummins was one of the earliest western diesel engine companies to produce engines in China. In 1981, Cummins started to produce engines in the Chongqing engine plant. In 1995, Cummins' first Chinese joint venture engine factory was established. So far, Cummins has a total of 26 organizations in China, including 15 wholly-owned and joint ventures, and employs more than 7,000 employees. They produce engines, generator sets, alternators, filtration systems, turbocharging systems, and exhaust systems. Post-processing and fuel systems and other products have a service network of 12 regional service centers and more than 300 authorized dealers.

Cummins has long established a strategic alliance with large Chinese companies to achieve common development. As the earliest foreign-funded diesel engine enterprise to come to China for local production, Cummins has established four engine joint venture plants with leading companies of commercial vehicles in China, including Dongfeng Automobile, Shaanxi Automobile Group and Beiqi Foton, for more than two decades. Cummins 18 Of the 11 engine series, 11 have been produced locally in China.

Cummins was the first foreign-owned diesel engine company to establish an R&D center in China. In August 2006, the engine technology R&D center set up by Cummins in cooperation with Dongfeng Corporation was officially opened in Wuhan, Hubei Province.

Cummins's sales in China exceeded US$2.3 billion in 2008, a 33% increase over 2007, and China has become Cummins’ largest and fastest growing overseas market.

A folding bicycle is a bicycle designed to fold into a compact form, facilitating transport and storage. When folded, the bikes can be more easily carried into buildings and houses or on public transportation (facilitating mixed-mode commuting and bicycle commuting), and more easily stored in compact living quarters or aboard a car, boat or plane.

Folding mechanisms vary, with each offering a distinct combination of folding speed, folding ease, compactness, ride, weight, durability and price. Distinguished by the complexities of their folding mechanism, more demanding structural requirements, greater number of parts, and more specialized market appeal, folding bikes may be more expensive than comparable non-folding models. The choice of model, apart from cost considerations, is a matter of resolving the various practical requirements: a quick easy fold, compact folded size, or a faster but less compact model.
