Xi'an Cummins Engine Co. Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture between Cummins Inc. and China's Shaanxi Automobile Group Co. Ltd., officially began production of the Cummins ISM 11-liter heavy-duty engine on Thursday.
The ISM is one of the flagship engines of Cummins' heavy-duty product line. In addition to proven fuel economy and dependability, the ISM meets the toughest emission standards worldwide, including EPA 2007 and Euro IV. With a power range from 335 to 440 horsepower, the ISM is a power choice for heavy-duty vehicles with gross vehicle weight between 26 and 44 tons - including trucks, long-distance coaches and double-decker buses.
The market for heavy-duty trucks in China with payloads greater than 15 tons is expected to be around 200,000 units by 2010. With $24 million initial investment from both sides, XCEC's projected production capacity is 50,000 units by 2010.
