Engines for China

摘要

Following on from the signing of a joint venture agreement between Cummins and Liugong in October 2011, production at Guangxi Cummins Industrial Power Company (GCIC) is now well underway. One of the two models it produces is the 9.3 litre L9.3 for 5 tonne capacity (about 3 m~3 bucket capacity) wheeled loaders. Although this 162 kW engine is fairly simple, with its mechanical fuel pump and Tier 2 emissions compliance, it is a unique engine designed specifically for this application - you will not find a 9.3 litre engine elsewhere in the Cummins range. The factory passed its milestone of producing its 10,000th engine in June this year, and the immediate target is to be running at 50,000 engines per year for the Chinese excavator and wheeled loader sector. These engines are for use by Liugong, but also for sale to other OEMs through Cummins' national sales network.
