WUHAN, China — Cummins broke ground last week on its first fuel systems plant outside North America. Cummins Fuel Systems – Wuhan will be the company’s 13th production facility in China and is expected to begin production early next year.

Wuhan also is home to a regional Cummins service center and a technical center joint venture owned by Cummins and Dongfeng Motor Company. Cummins plans to invest approximately $10 million in the plant, which will assemble Cummins Common Rail (CCR) fuel pumps and CELECT injectors/fuel pumps primarily for the China market.

Cummins Fuel Systems designs and manufactures new and replacement fuel systems primarily for heavy-duty on-highway diesel engine applications. Much of the current production goes to the company’s engine business, with Scania being Cummins’ primary outside customer. Cummins currently designs and machines fuel systems in Columbus, IN, and has an assembly operation in Juarez, Mexico.

The Wuhan facility will help Cummins meet the growing demand for its products in China and other emerging markets.
