The in-depth cooperation with Cummins in Euro VI technology will enable Foton Motors to face the competition in the global market more calmly, and Cummins will be able to expand its technological leadership advantage.
On June 9, after the first anniversary of the mass production of the Foton Cummins ISF series, Cummins and Foton Motor continued to promote this series to the Euro VI standard in Beijing.
Currently, Foton Cummins is located in Beijing's Shahe factory, which is the only production base for this engine in the world.
This has exceeded the technical specifications for the design of this engine. Cummins' ISF series diesel engines have fully considered the upgrade capability at the beginning of design, but only Euro III, Euro IV, and Euro V share the same platform for development. With strong inheritance, only critical components such as electronic control systems will be injected through the fuel system injection pressure. The upgrade can meet Euro V standards without the need for complex structural adjustments. This time, the ISF engine can meet Euro VI emission regulations after a certain improvement. For example, the post-processing control system and the engine control system are integrated to allow the engine and post-processing to work together to optimize the electronically controlled injection and exhaust gas circulation.
Foton Cummins plans to start trial production in mid-2013 and mass-produce it at the end of 2013. Foton Motors' Ouma, New Sap, and Mongolian Pike will start with the Euro VI engine. This investment is about 680 million yuan. A few weeks later, Cummins announced that it authorized Cummins Kama, a Russian joint venture company, to use the Cummins Euro VI emission standard technology. Cummins Carmaker is a joint venture company established by Cummins Engine Company and Kamaz Diesel Plant in 2006 with a capital contribution of 50:50. The company produces 185-300 hp B-series diesel engines per month and sells them to the Kamaz diesel engine factory and other Russian automakers.
At this point, it takes about three years since the European implementation of the Euro VI emission standards was officially implemented, and most of the competitors in the emerging markets are still working hard to overcome the Euro III emission technology.
It is precisely this situation that has made Cummins, the world's leading and only independent multinational engine supplier, experience leading and confused stages over the past 10 years. Its technology is leading, but the cost of R&D is also astonishing. In emerging markets, some local companies have tried to adopt a non-technical route to meet the requirements of lower emission regulations and to win with low cost, making Cummins, which has always been considered a leading technology, and other companies at a loss. Their chances can only be extended to a longer-term future. At the European V and Euro VI standards after Euro IV, only common rail technology can currently achieve reliable volume production and use. In these areas, what chasers are lacking is the R&D and production experience that money cannot bring. This time, through early deployment, Cummins can regain its leading edge.
As the other party to the strategic cooperation, Futian did not waste this opportunity. In accordance with the European regulations, the European Union VI emission regulations were formally implemented in 2014. The time taken by Foton Cummins ISF to introduce Euro VI technology is also consistent with this.
On June 24, Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. (Fukuda Motors) signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Moscow City Government of the Russian Federation at the Moscow City Hall. The Foton Motor Europe Automotive Division and the Russian Foton Motor Company were formally established. This is the first step of Foton Motor’s “5+3+1†global promotion strategy for 2011-2015.
The cooperation between the two parties includes the positioning of the Russian Foton Motor Company as the European regional operation center of Foton Motors, with overall responsibility for the sales, research and development and investment management of Foton Motors in the European region; and investing in the construction of an annual output of 100,000 vehicles in the Russian Federation in 2012. The production base of the car covers the full range of Futian products such as light trucks, medium cards, heavy trucks, buses, CMBs, MPVs, pickup trucks, and SUVs. The products radiate throughout Europe.
Fukuda will complete the construction of five major developing countries in Russia, Brazil, Mexico, India, and Thailand by 2015; and realize the development of the regional markets of the three developed countries of the European Union, North America, and Japan.
The layout does not come in slow motion. Fukuda just laid the groundwork for the site in Weifang Hi-Tech Park a few days before advancing Euro VI domestic production. In the future, it may produce the Mongolian Parker model. From the time point of view, it should be the Euro VI model for export.
