[edit]History

An early Cummins diesel in a 1950Indianapolis 500 roadster

Founded in Columbus, Indiana, in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, for its

namesake Clessie Lyle Cummins, the fledgling firm was among the first to see the

commercial potential of the engine technology invented two decades earlier by Rudolf

Diesel.

After a decade of fits and starts, in 1933, the company released the Model H, a powerful

engine for transportation that launched the company's most successful engine family. J.

Irwin Miller, became general manager in 1934 and went on to lead the company to

international prominence over the next four decades. By marketing high-quality products

through a unique nationwide service organization, the Company earned its first profit in

1937. Three years later, Cummins offered the industry's first 100,000-mile warranty.

By the 1950s, the US had embarked on a massive interstate highway construction program,

with Cummins engines powering much of the equipment that built the roads and thousands

of the trucks that traversed them. Truckers demanded economy, power, reliability, and

durability, and Cummins responded. By the late 1950s, Cummins had sales of over $100

million and a commanding lead in the market for heavy truck diesels.

As Cummins continued to grow its business in the US, the Company began looking beyond

its traditional borders. Cummins opened its first foreign manufacturing facility

in Shotts, Scotland, in 1956 and by the end of the 1960s, Cummins had expanded its sales

and service network to 2,500 dealers in 98 countries. Today, Cummins has more than 5,000

facilities in 197 countries and territories.

Cummins, led by J. Irwin Miller, forged ties to emerging countries such

as China, India and Brazil, where Cummins had a major presence before most other US

multinational companies. Cummins has grown into one of the largest engine makers in both

China and India, and for the past three years approximately half of the Company’s sales

have been generated outside the US.

Cummins was the only company in the industry to meet the 2010 Environmental Protection

Agency standards for NOx emissions with the release in early 2007 of its new 6.7-litre turbo

diesel for the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty pickup.

In 2008, Cummins was a named defendant in a class action suit relating 1998-2001 model

year Chrysler Dodge Ram trucks, model 2500 or 3500, originally equipped with a Cummins

ISB 5.9 liter, diesel engine built using a pattern 53 Block.[4] The case has been settled but

some qualified Chrysler owners may receive $500 for repairs to the block, which was alleged

to crack and create a coolant leak.

[edit]Business Units

[edit]Cummins Engine Business

Manufactures and markets a complete line of diesel and natural gas-powered engines for

on-highway and off-highway use. Its markets include heavy-and medium-duty truck, bus,

recreational vehicle (RV), light-duty automotive and a number of industrial uses including

agricultural, construction, mining marine, oil and gas and military equipment.[3]

For the general public, the most visible Cummins product may be the 5.9-liter in-line six-

cylinder engine used in the Dodge Ram light duty pickups starting in 1989.[5]

In 2007, a 6.7-liter version of the Cummins straight six engine became optional on the

Dodge Ram pickup (standard with the class 4 and class 5 chassis).[5]

[edit]Cummins Turbo Technologies

The Holset Engineering Co. was a British company that produced turbochargers, primarily

for diesel and heavy duty applications

In 1973 the company was purchased by Cummins after briefly being owned by the Hanson

Trust. Holset now operates facilities in China, India, Brazil, the Netherlands, the United

Kingdom, and the United States.

In 2006, the division officially changed its name to Cummins Turbo Technologies to be

identified more closely with its parent company. The turbocharger products still use the

Holset brand name.

[edit]Cummins Power Generation

In 1986, Cummins began acquisition of Onan and completed it in 1992. Since then, Onan

has evolved into Cummins Power Generation, a division of Cummins. The Onan name

continues to be used for modern versions of their traditional engine-driven generators for

RV, marine, commercial mobility, home standby, and portable use.

[edit]Cummins Emission Solutions

Exhaust and emissions after-treatment company Nelson Industries was purchased in 1999

due to the increasing importance of exhaust after-treatment systems for meeting future

emissions standards. The division officially changed its name to Cummins Emission

Solutions to be identified more closely with their parent company.

Who We Are

Cummins has been associated with the Indian subcontinent for five decades. The stage was set

way back in 1962, when a partnership between Kirloskar and Cummins crystallized into a 100-

acre manufacturing campus in Pune. Within a span of three years from commencing operations,

the business venture started to generate profits. Thereon, the partnership continued to flourish,

till up till 1997, when the Kirloskar’s sold their ownership; resulting in Cummins Inc. increasing its

stake to 51% and the rest being traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange. This led to the formation

of Cummins India Limited, a consolidated subsidiary of Cummins Inc.

Today, Cummins India Limited has grown to become the country’s leading manufacturer of diesel

and natural gas engines. It is only one of the eight legal entities (including four joint ventures) of

the Cummins Group in India, signifying Cummins’ increasing presence in the country.

Comprising of four business units - Industrial Engine, Power Generation, Distribution, and

Automotive, Cummins India Limited is also the largest entity of the Cummins Group in India.

The Industrial Engine Business caters to the industrial sector with its broad spectrum of diesel

engines ranging from 18 HP to 3500 HP. The range is designed to power varied market

segments such as Construction, Mining, Compressor, Marine, Rail, Agriculture, Pumps, Oil &

Gas, Power Generation and Defense.

The Power Generation Business addresses standby and prime power needs through the design

and manufacture of pre-integrated generator sets, transfer switches, paralleling equipment and

controls.

The Automotive Business integrates Cummins’ diesel and natural gas engines with related

technologies such as filtration, exhaust, turbo, fuel and coolant systems and lube oil to serve the

commercial vehicle segment in India.

The fourth business, Distribution operates under the brand name ‘Cummins Sales and Service

India’. Acquired in 1967, with the objective of providing products, packages, services and

solutions for uptime of Cummins equipments, it has since been engaged in the business of sale

of engines, and providing after-market support to customers in India, Nepal and Bhutan.

In 1987, the joint venture Fleetguard Filters Pvt. Limited was formed between Cummins

Filtration Inc. and Perfect Sealing Systems Pvt. Ltd. More than two decades later, the entity with

three manufacturing locations - Pune, Hosur and Jamshedpur continues to manufacture air, fuel,

oil and water filters for Cummins and other engine manufacturers.

In 1989, another joint venture was started between Crompton Greaves & Newage, to form CG

Newage Ltd. Crompton sold its holding to Cummins in 2002. In 2006, Cummins took over

completely and the entity began operating under the name of Cummins Generator

Technologies India Limited.  Three manufacturing facilities, each in Pune, Ahmednagar and

Ranjangaon manufacture alternators ranging from 5 to 2000 kVA. Aligned with the Corporation’s

initiatives towards a cleaner and healthier environment, the plant in Ranjangaon set up in 2007,

is the first green plant in India.

Another joint venture, Tata Cummins Limited, was formed between Cummins Inc. and Tata

Motors in 1993 to produce mid-range engines for Tata Motors’ commercial vehicles. With a

manufacturing plant at Jamshedpur and a second plant at Phaltan in Maharashtra, Tata

Cummins Limited remains a significant contributor to Cummins’ profitable growth in India.

Valvoline Cummins Limited, started in 1998, is a 50:50 joint venture between Cummins India

Limited and Ashland that manufactures automotive lubricants, transmission fluids, gear oils,

hydraulic lubricants, automotive filters, specialty products, greases and cooling system products.

The entity is headquartered in Delhi, with a manufacturing facility at Panvel.

In 2002, Cummins Infotech was merged into KPIT Infosystems to form KPIT Cummins

Infosystems Limited, a global IT consulting and product engineering partner to manufacturing

and financial services organizations. The Company is headquartered in Pune.

Cummins Research Technology India Limited was started in Pune in 2003 as part of a global

effort to perform low-cost, high-quality engineering work. It was the first, and so far the only,

Cummins research center to be built without physical laboratories. The facility uses the latest

computer technology to support design and analysis for Cummins worldwide.

Cummins Technologies India Limited was formed in 2008. Under it are 5 divisions- Cummins

Turbo Technologies, Cummins Emission Solutions, ReCon Parts India , Cummins Business

Services and Cummins Fuel Systems India.

In 1995, the Tata Group and Holset (a Cummins-owned company) collaborated to form a joint

venture, Tata Holset Limited, to produce turbochargers at a plant in Dewas. When Cummins

rebranded its entities in 2006, Tata Holset Ltd. became part of Cummins Turbo Technologies.

Today it has facilities in Pune, Dewas, Pithampur and Rudrapur.

Cummins Emission Solutions is engaged in the design, integration, manufacture and distribution

of exhaust after-treatment systems and components for ‘on and off-highway’ medium, heavy and

high horsepower engine markets.  Working with technology partners, the business provides

these solutions for Cummins and other engine manufacturers, while applying its expertise in

providing a range of products from packaging to integrated systems.

ReCon Parts India began in 2008 with manufacturing facilities in Pithampur and Ranjangaon. It

offers reconditioned engines and components, including fuel pumps, injectors, cylinder heads,

turbochargers, cam followers, water pumps, and other parts. It also has a plant in Phaltan.

Cummins Business Services is based in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. The entity handles shared

services like payroll, travel and customer care. It has branches around the world, including in

India.

Today Cummins in India has expanded its businesses across markets and geographies,

spanning 200 locations in the country. The Company has 20 state-of-the-art manufacturing

facilities across the country. The Group has also commenced production at its 300-acre Megasite

project in Phaltan, Maharashtra that will allow all future projects to operate from a single location.

Employing close to 14,000 individuals, the Group has reported combined sales of approximately

Rs.10,500 crores in 2011.
