Columbus-based Cummins, Inc. has signed a deal with Beijing Public Transport Holdings Ltd. to supply 1,400 diesel and natural gas engines to power transit buses in China's capital city, reports Inside INdiana Business.
Cummins says this is the largest order of Euro IV diesel engines in the Chinese bus market. The order is part of the transport company's fleet upgrade to prepare for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games being held in Beijing.
China began adopting European on-highway emission standards in 2001 and the countrywide environmental standard is now Euro II. Beijing leads the country in terms of emission compliance with Euro III being the current standard, and the capital city will move to Euro IV in 2008.
Cummins is the largest supplier to China's nationwide Euro III/IV diesel bus engine market and is the largest supplier in the country's natural gas transit bus engine sector.
