On May 25, 2026, Cummins held the ceremony of Cummins Mining Centennial Journey in China & Delivery of Domestic QSK60 Mining Engines at Chongqing Cummins Engine Company Limited, its global intelligent manufacturing base for high-horsepower engines. At the event, Cummins and XCMG Group jointly delivered the first domestically built QSK60 mining engine to the Yimin customer. This marks a new phase for Cummins in local manufacturing and delivery of high-horsepower mining power solutions in China, and further demonstrates its long-term commitment to deepening its presence in China’s mining market.

Besides XCMG Group, representatives from major OEMs including Northern Heavy Industries, Sany Heavy Machinery, LiuGong Group and CNGC, as well as numerous mining clients, attended the event. It reflects the industry partners’ keen attention to Cummins’ local manufacturing and collaborative development of mining power products.

Century-old heritage

Starting from early cooperation with local OEMs, to adapting to China’s diverse and harsh mining operating conditions and optimizing product matching and service support systems, Cummins has witnessed and deeply participated in the leapfrog development of China’s mining equipment and power industry.

 

Xiao Yunbo, Dean of XCMG Mining Research Institute, and Gao Xiaofeng, General Manager of Industrial Market, Cummins Power Systems China, jointly delivered the first domestically-produced QSK60 mining engine to Yimin.

 

First Delivery | Advanced Domestic Manufacturing Capabilities

The delivery of the first domestically produced QSK60 mining engine is far more than a routine product handover. It fully embodies the realization of Cummins' localized capabilities for high-horsepower engines. Combining China's manufacturing strengths with globally unified standards, Cummins has established a complete capability system encompassing collaborative R&D, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management and service support.

 

Yuan Jun, General Manager of Cummins Power Systems Business Unit China, stated:

Today’s delivery embodies Cummins’ century-long heritage in mining power applied to the Chinese market. Committed to long-term investment, Cummins keeps enhancing its strengths in manufacturing, application engineering, supply chain and after-sales services to cater to local customer demands, and continuously upgrades mining power solutions. The delivery of the QSK60 engine is a testament to the synergy of all these capabilities.

More importantly, this milestone is not an isolated breakthrough, but a phased achievement from joint efforts with OEMs, mining customers and industry chain partners to build a full-value ecosystem for the mining sector. Covering product definition, application development and equipment matching, as well as delivery guarantee, aftermarket services and full-lifecycle operation support, Cummins works alongside partners to shift the focus from mere engine delivery to comprehensive customer value delivery. We strive to deliver more reliable, efficient and resilient total solutions for the industry.

Su Zimeng, President of China Construction Machinery Association, stated:

This event marks a new achievement from the coordinated development between world-leading power technologies and China’s mining equipment industry. The Association will continue to act as a bridge, improving industry services, guiding standards and promoting exchanges and cooperation. Together with member enterprises, customers and all partners, we will fully deliver the goals and tasks set out in the 15th Five-Year Plan for the high-quality development of the construction machinery sector.

 

In his view, the continuous improvement of local manufacturing and mass delivery capabilities will further strengthen the resilience of the industrial and supply chains, boost customer response efficiency, and inject new momentum into the high-quality development of the mining equipment and power industry.

 

Manufacturing Upgrade · Solid Delivery Commitment

The QSK60 engines delivered this time are manufactured by Chongqing Cummins. As a key global production base for Cummins high-horsepower engines, Chongqing Cummins has steadily built core manufacturing capabilities for the QSK60 model. It has launched an independent production line for 60L cylinder blocks and upgraded the assembly lines for V-type engines.

A new 3000kW test bench has been put into service. Meanwhile, MES, AI visual inspection and quality big data platforms have been deployed, forming an integrated manufacturing system covering cylinder block machining, complete engine assembly, factory testing and quality control. This helps continuously improve manufacturing proficiency, quality assurance and delivery stability to fully meet customer expectations.

 

Service Collaboration · Safeguard Value

Zhan Li, General Manager of Cummins East Asia Distribution Business Unit, commented:

Mining customers focus not only on equipment performance, but also on stable operation, reduced unplanned downtime and sustained value creation.

To address such needs, Cummins has established a comprehensive service network in China featuring on-site mine support, pre-positioned spare parts, rapid equipment restoration, digital monitoring and global collaborative assistance.

We have over 100 resident mine technicians, 28 service stations, 60 service vehicles and 19 parts depots, ensuring prompt response and adequate spare parts supply for mining clients. Leveraging digital tools and Cummins’ global service network, we integrate international service standards with local rapid response capabilities to deliver stable, reliable and efficient operational support.

On the day of the event, guests toured Cummins' high-horsepower intelligent manufacturing base and technology R&D center to gain deeper insights into its capabilities in engine manufacturing, engineering development, supply chain management and service support in China.

Going forward, Cummins will continue to partner with OEMs, mining customers and all industry stakeholders. Committed to greater reliability, higher efficiency and sustainable development, we will keep optimizing and upgrading mining power solutions for China.
