Cummins 195 HP Engine Debuts as Anhui Cummins Reaches 10,000 Units

The launch of the Cummins 195-horsepower engine marked another significant step in the company's commercial vehicle powertrain expansion, while the event also celebrated production of the 10,000th next-generation 2.5L/3.0L engine at Anhui Cummins Power Co Ltd Held in Hefei, Anhui Province, the ceremony highlighted both a new product introduction and an important manufacturing achievement. The latest engine has been developed specifically to address demanding transportation requirements across Southwest China, where mountainous terrain and high-altitude operating conditions place greater demands on vehicle performance and efficiency.

Engine Developed for Mountainous and High-Altitude Operations

The newly introduced 195-horsepower 2.5L engine has been engineered to support specialized transport applications across regions including Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing. These areas are characterized by challenging mountain roads and elevated operating environments. To improve vehicle capability under such demanding conditions, the engine has been optimized for transportation routes situated at higher elevations, helping operators maintain reliable performance where conventional powertrains typically experience reduced output.

Enhanced Performance and Fuel Efficiency

For transport operations conducted at elevations exceeding 2,000 meters, the engine delivers nearly 20% greater power output together with approximately 15% higher torque. In addition to improved performance, the powertrain incorporates Cummins' CBM intelligent fuel-control algorithm, which is designed to optimize fuel consumption under varying operating conditions. This combination enables commercial vehicle operators to achieve stronger climbing capability while supporting improved operational efficiency across demanding logistics routes.

Production Milestone Reflects Rapid Commercialization

The event also recognized the production of the 10,000th next-generation 2.5L/3.0L engine manufactured by Anhui Cummins. Development of this engine family reached a major milestone with its first successful ignition in March 2023. Following continued engineering validation, the engines entered low-volume production and began their initial market rollout during the second half of 2025. Reaching the 10,000-unit production milestone within a relatively short period demonstrates the successful commercialization of the new engine platform.

Collaboration Between Cummins and JAC Motors

According to the company, the rapid market introduction and manufacturing growth of the next-generation 2.5L/3.0L engine family were achieved through close cooperation between Cummins and JAC Motors. The partnership enabled accelerated product development, production ramp-up and market deployment, contributing to both the successful launch of the new 195-horsepower engine and the achievement of the latest manufacturing milestone.
