In-line six-cylinder Cummins ISG series of heavy-duty engines, currently a total of two models ISG11L and ISG12L to the market, the power segment 310-512 horsepower (228-382 kilowatts), to meet a wide range of global market demand and different levels of emissions standards. Designed and developed by the Cummins U.S. team and coordinated with the efforts of global technology and market teams, the ISG engine is a research and development achievement that makes full use of the strengths of all parties and deeply interprets the needs of local markets and customers. During the 5-year R&D process, the ISG engine passed 60,000 hours of bench testing and more than 6 million kilometers of road tests. It was developed under this globally linked design model through the most advanced technology. The highly adaptable product platform meets different requirements of different target markets and regions for engine performance and cost. The ISG series engines are specially designed to meet various global emission standards and will be available in 2014 to meet the Euro IV, China IV and Euro V emission standards. The same platform can be upgraded to Euro VI emission standards.

The ISG series of engines uses a number of Cummins patented technologies. These innovative advantages are reflected in all aspects of engine development and application:

Reduce the number of parts by 50%, make the overall structure more streamlined, higher reliability, and more convenient maintenance;

Increased brake efficiency by 25-50% over conventional cylinders, safer driving, longer brake life, and lower maintenance costs

The industry's highest fuel injection technology, more effective to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, helpless hot start to help the engine easily start in 7 seconds, -35oC extremely cold conditions;

Intelligent speed control technology to achieve the best fuel efficiency; efficient intake and exhaust system to improve air operating efficiency, further reduce fuel consumption, highly integrated lubrication and cooling system, reduce pressure loss;

Seiko cylinders ensure lighter weight, higher cargo carrying capacity, and organic integration of key components with the complete machine to achieve minimum noise;

Fleetguard's two-stage ultra-long fuel filter uses top NanoNetTM nano media to effectively block impurities down to 5 micron in fuel, while Fleetguard's innovative oil filter uses StrataPoreTM built-in powerful synergistic slow release additive to extend the use of oil to 10 10,000 kilometers;

Cummins' unique system integration capabilities and selective catalytic reduction technologies complement each other, improving fuel efficiency significantly reducing carbon emissions;

Provide advanced fault early warning and remote diagnosis services to ensure engine health and minimize downtime, minimize fuel consumption and ensure safety, and build advanced fleet management systems with users.

“We are honored to cooperate with Foton Motor, a leading company in the Chinese automotive industry, in engine development and application. The common vision and common commitment to innovation and the environment have laid a solid foundation for the cooperation between Cummins and Foton Motor. Based on the success of the lightweight engine platform, our cooperation has now expanded to the production of heavy-duty engines.” Tom Linebarger, chairman and chief executive officer of Cummins Inc., said: “ISG is a revolutionary platform. G' represents innovation, and its birth marks the first time Cummins has created an innovative green heavy-duty power for the Chinese market."

Cummins and Foton Motor started cooperation on the ISG engine project as early as 2010. Thanks to the full understanding of the needs of users, ISG heavy-duty engine platform established the concept of providing customers with value and meeting the actual needs of customers at the beginning of design. It is the crystallization of Cummins' proprietary technology and advanced production processes.

The ISG series engines are produced in Beijing's newly-built heavy-duty plant, Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. The new factory has a total investment of 2.2 billion yuan and covers an area of ​​66,000 square meters. At present, the installed capacity is 60,000 units. According to the market development, the production capacity can be increased to 120,000 units. From the CMM tri-coordinate measuring instrument installed in the cylinder liner station to the pollution-free and recyclable varnish technology used in the newly developed spray painting system, it is not difficult to see that the new factory has advanced production equipment, clean production environment and first-class process level. Cummins operating system (COS) is used to perform strict quality control at every step, using advanced production technology and on-line inspection equipment to ensure that customers are provided with high-performance power products.

At the site of the Cummins ISG mass production off-line ceremony, Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. held a global launch event for the FTL Daimler Auman GTL Super Edition. This new heavy truck is equipped with ISG heavy-duty engines, achieving five breakthroughs in fuel economy, safety, reliability, comfort and comprehensive operating costs. In the pre-fitting test, the technical staff of the two parties worked closely together to integrate Futian Automotive's deep understanding and awareness of truck users with Cummins cutting-edge technology into the production of the products, bringing an extraordinary value experience to the users.

“Fukuda Motors and Cummins successfully established the ISF light engine platform and led the light commercial vehicle market since the establishment of the joint venture company in 2008. Today, Cummins ISG heavy-duty engines and Auman GTLs were developed on the basis of the vehicle platform developed jointly by Foton Motors and Cummins. We can focus on the growth market with heavy-duty trucks and lead the future of heavy trucks with new breakthrough technologies.” Wang Jinyu, general manager of Foton Motor stated: “The end result is a significant improvement in the user experience. Foton Motor Co., Ltd. through joint ventures and cooperation with Cummins and Daimler Combine the advantageous resources of the three parties to create a gold value chain that satisfies the customer's most concerned values ​​and interests.

At the same time, Foton Motors and Cummins signed an agreement on the LNG clean energy technology innovation project, focusing on the future, to prepare for the establishment of future technological leadership and emission upgrade advantages. This future-oriented heavy-duty engine platform has a wide market prospect and the application scope is expected to further expand into the non-road, power, and clean energy fields. On April 8 this year, a joint venture between Cummins and Foton Cummins has signed a development contract for the fourth phase of non-road use (EPATier4Final/EUStageIV) and the Euro 6 emission standard engine for road use.
