Dongfeng: Cummins, the world's largest independent engine company with evergreen foundation, is undoubtedly a typical enterprise with evergreen foundation. Since its establishment more than 80 years ago, it has continuously invested in diesel engine technology, maintained its technological leading edge in this field, and played a significant role in promoting the development of the industry.
Synchronous manufacturing is wonderful.
Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, as the largest joint venture company of Cummins abroad, has taken "technology" as the top priority in establishing its core competitiveness from the first day of its establishment. Relying on the rich technical resources of the parent company, Dongfeng Cummins adopted the technology introduction strategy of "aiming at high-end and keeping pace with the world". At the fastest speed, the most advanced technology and products will be developed and manufactured locally and shared with domestic users. Twenty years ago, when Dongfeng first came into contact with Cummins and introduced Cummins B series products for licensed production, the domestic diesel engine industry was still blank in many key technologies such as supercharging and intermediate cooling. These technologies were first used in Dongfeng Cummins engine before promoting the development of the whole industry. Taking the electronically controlled engine as an example, Dongfeng Cummins not only began to produce products that meet Euro III emission standards in 2003, but also produced engines on the same platform as Cummins products in European and American markets, that is, products that meet Euro III, Euro IV and Euro V emission regulations, which means that the products are backward compatible and the replacement cost of new products is lower and more convenient.
Analysis and guidance design
At the same time, in order to make Cummins technology better adapt to the vehicle application environment in China, Dongfeng Cummins has carried out adaptive development. "Our product development is based on an in-depth understanding of China automakers and end users." Dongfeng Cummins related technical personnel said. Based on this R&D idea that analysis guides design, Dongfeng Cummins first collects users' usage information and needs from marketers, and then feeds them back to the R&D department for in-depth analysis, summarizing users' deepest needs, and finally helps the design department to develop reliable engines that meet various application environments. Such an engine is bound to be closer to the market, close to partners and close to end users. In order to cooperate more closely with vehicle manufacturers, Dongfeng Cummins also participated in the product design test of vehicle manufacturers and discussed the best power scheme with them. This kind of strategic cooperation and mutual binding of product developers can further optimize vehicle configuration, reduce product failure rate and improve product performance for engine manufacturers, undoubtedly shorten the running-in period of vehicles and engines and greatly improve the research and development progress of new products.
Improve independent research and development capabilities
On the basis of technology introduction and innovation, Dongfeng Cummins has not slowed down the pace of independent research and development. China is moving from a big automobile consumption country to a big automobile manufacturing country and a big R&D country, and Dongfeng Cummins is gradually growing into an enterprise with certain R&D originality. In 2005, Dongfeng Company and Cummins Company began to cooperate to develop a new generation 13 L heavy truck engine in China. The intellectual property of this product is completely owned by Dongfeng Cummins, which responds to the heavy-duty development trend of the truck market in the future and is an important step for Dongfeng Cummins to move towards independent innovation. Before 13 L heavy truck engine R&D, Dongfeng Cummins also set up the first joint venture engine R&D center in Wuhan with Cummins of the United States before the capacity construction of several joint venture companies. The center will not only shorten the time for R&D to respond to local demand, but also undertake some tasks of Cummins global R&D.. The R&D strength of Dongfeng Cummins has been enhanced, and Dongfeng Cummins has taken an important step from a simple manufacturer to a company integrating manufacturing, R&D, marketing and service. The high-end positioning of technology and products has made Dongfeng Cummins occupy a favorable position in the market, and long-term technology accumulation has also laid a solid foundation for Dongfeng Cummins' "evergreen inheritance".
