New Cummins ISG-Powered Foton GTL Truck to Hit the Market
Beiqi Foton Motor Co. Ltd. (Foton), China’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, and Cummins, the world’s largest independent diesel engine manufacturer, have jointly introduced a new truck model powered by the Cummins ISG engine in Cummins Technical Center in Columbus.
The G Series will initially be manufactured at the Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co. (BFCEC), a 50-50 joint venture between Cummins and Foton.
The joint venture between Foton and Cummins successfully introduced the Cummins ISF light-duty engine platform in 2008, which has grown to be a leading power in the light-duty commercial vehicle market.
The ISG heavy-duty engine platform is an in-line 6-cylinder engine, and is available in 11-liter and 12-liter models to meet a broad variety of global market requirements and emissions standards.
Design and development of the engine have been led by a team in the United States, and supported by global technical and marketing resources with deep knowledge of local market and customer needs.
