Cummins India to produce more efficient engines for CE industry

Cummins India
Cummins India is all set to start the production of its state-of-the-art 4.5-litre engine system for wheeled equipment at its Pune plant. Cummins is known for designing, manufacturing and marketing diesel and natural gas engines. It has been collaborating with the construction equipment industry in India for more than 45 years.

The construction equipment vehicle (CEV) BS-IV-certified engines were approved by the International Centre for Automotive technology (ICAT) in October 2020. The Phaltan manufacturing plant in Pune will manufacture electronically-controlled Cummins B4.5 engines spanning 121-200 hp (90-149 kW) power range. For now, the company is putting up an annual production capacity of 30,000-50,000 engines at the plant which is designed to accommodate future expansion.

Apart from the CE industry, the company is also considering to supply this engine to the power-gen industry and heavy-duty trucks.
