Cummins in China

The history of Cummings and China dates back more than half a century to the 1940s. On March 11, 1941, the President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, signed the Lease Act and provided wartime assistance to 38 countries, including China. The "Lending Act" includes military defense patrol boats equipped with Cummins engines and military trucks.

At the end of 1944, a Chongqing company sent a letter to Cummins Corp. seeking to establish commercial ties and conduct localized production of Cummins engines in China. Erwin Miller, general manager of Cummins Engine Co., expressed great interest in this letter. It is hoped that Cummins will build a factory in China after the Sino-Japanese War. For reasons known to all, Mr. Miller's idea can only wait until the 1970s 30 years later. With the gradual relaxation of Sino-U.S. relations, it is expected to become a reality.

Cummins invests US$310 million in China. As the largest foreign investor in China’s diesel industry, Cummins’ business relationship with China began in 1975. Mr Cummins’s chairman, Irvine Miller, visited Beijing for the first time. One of the earliest US entrepreneurs to seek commercial cooperation in China.
