On March 26, 2008, Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. (BFCEC), the first Sino-foreign joint venture of Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. (referred to as Foton Motor), was officially established and was held at the headquarters of Foton Motor in Changping, Beijing. Grand ceremony. After the completion of this engine joint venture, the annual production capacity will reach 400,000, which is currently China's largest engine manufacturer.

With the establishment of this large-scale engine manufacturing company in Beijing, together with the existing 100,000 production bases of Foton Aoling Power, the Beijing region already has an annual production capacity of 500,000 engines. According to the planning of Foton Motor, the world’s largest engine production base with an annual output of 1 million vehicles will be built in Beijing in the future. With the establishment of the Foton Cummins Engine Joint Venture, this pattern has taken off.
Foton Motors is China's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles and a full range of product-covered commercial vehicles. Cummins is the world's largest independent engine manufacturing company. Together, the two companies will build a world-class light engine operating organization. Experts in the industry pointed out that this cooperation is extremely beneficial to both parties. Fukuda can use Cummins to successfully enter the markets of developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea to accelerate the internationalization of enterprises, and Cummins completed its strategy in China through Futian. The layout achieved a full range of local production of heavy, medium and light diesel engines.
The world's top engine China took the lead in production
According to reports, the cooperation between Foton Motors and Cummins began in 2004 when Cummins was used as an engine supplier to provide part of the heavy-duty power for Foton Euro V buses and Auman heavy trucks. On July 26, 2005, the two parties signed a letter of intent to cooperate in the establishment of a light-duty diesel engine production company. On March 6, 2006, a feasibility study for the establishment of a joint venture company was signed. On October 19, the two sides formally signed a joint venture agreement. On April 16, 2007, Cummins Powered Auman ETX, Euro V, and Omar were simultaneously offline and formally launched globally.

According to the plan, Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. will aim at building a “green environmental model factoryâ€. The factory building will adopt new materials and standardized advanced design. The construction will be in line with Cummins global plant standard requirements, and fully take into account environmental protection, safety and human care. And other factors. The factory is located on the north side of the headquarters of Foton Motor Company in Changping District, Beijing. It covers an area of ​​171,698 square meters, and the factory building area is 92,096 square meters. It is expected to be completed in September 2008. The first batch of 3.8L engine products will be available in May 2009. To achieve mass production, 2.8L engine products will be mass-produced in September 2009.
It is worth noting that the 2.8-litre and 3.8-litre models that will be put into production are all new products that have never been put into operation in any place including the United States. They are Cummins’s investments in Europe and the United States. The high-performance light diesel engine developed in the international market can meet Euro IV and above emission standards. 
A key step in the internationalization strategy
As we all know, the engine is the heart of the car, but also the core technology of the automotive industry. The automotive industry has a famous saying - those who get the engine have the world. With the establishment of the Foton Cummins Engine Joint Venture, Foton Motor finally has an engine position that matches its leading position in the automotive industry, which will greatly enhance the quality and image of Foton Auto's products.
In addition, for Foton Motors, the successful joint venture with Cummins not only received two of the world's top light diesel engines, improved its own power system, but more importantly obtained the “pass†to enter the developed markets. Futian Automobile Co., Ltd., which has been committed to the international management of the company, has a long-term strategic significance.
Due to technical barriers in emissions and other aspects, most of China's auto exports are currently concentrated in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America where the auto industry is underdeveloped. The Cummins engine to be put into production can meet Euro IV and above emission regulations, and Cummins has an after-sales service network in 190 countries and regions around the world. This will help Futian auto products accelerate their entry into developed markets in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. pace.

Foton Motors has enriched and improved its power layout through a joint venture with Cummins, which will at least guarantee the competitive advantage of Futian in China and even the world commercial vehicle market in the next 20 years. What is more significant in the industry is that the world-class competitiveness of Foton Motor is obtained under the premise of maintaining the autonomy of the brand, which has a strong demonstration effect on how the independent brands of the Chinese auto industry can achieve their internationalization strategy.

In 2007, Cummins sold more than US$1.7 billion in China, accounting for nearly 10% of Cummins’ global sales, including joint ventures, and increased by 50% compared to 2006. China has become Cummins’ largest and fastest-growing company in the world. overseas market.
The responsible person stated that with the continuous rise in oil prices and the intensification of the global warming effect, the adoption of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly diesel engines has become one of the mainstream trends in the development of the international automobile industry, and the Chinese government has accelerated the “energy saving reduction†in recent years. Pai work, which provides a broader market for green diesel engines, Beijing Futian Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. was born in this context.
