Business Wire
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) and Isuzu Motors Limited (hereinafter
“Isuzu”), a leading global truck manufacturer headquartered in
Japan, are launching a new 6.7-liter engine jointly developed by
the two companies, designed for use in Isuzu’s new medium-duty
truck lineup. The “Isuzu DB6A” will power on-highway truck
applications built for the Japanese market and will be available
for the Asia Pacific markets and other global markets later this
year. The engine will be assembled at Isuzu’s engine plant in
Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
“Today marks an important milestone for both Cummins and Isuzu,
as Cummins enters the Japanese on-highway market for the first time
in our 105-year history,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO of
Cummins. “I’m proud of the strong partnership our two companies
have built, and I’m excited to leverage our collective strength and
scale to expand our impact and continue meeting the evolving needs
of our customers.”
Isuzu and Cummins signed the Isuzu Cummins Powertrain
Partnership in May 2019 to realize the efficient development of
next-generation powertrains. The two companies agreed to
collaborate globally in the medium-duty diesel powertrain segment,
and the newly developed DB6A is the first engine to be incorporated
into the FORWARD medium-duty truck as a result.
In 2022, Isuzu North America Corporation Commercial integrated
the Cummins B6.7™ into its FTR and FVR trucks for customers in the
United States and Canada.
As Cummins continues to be a global leader in diesel and to
innovate and advance future power sources for commercial vehicles,
this collaboration paves the way for future opportunities to
harness the technology and products of each company to drive global
growth.
The two companies formally unveiled the new engine with a
ceremony at Isuzu’s Tochigi Plant in January.
“We need to invest in both internal combustion engine and
electrification to achieve carbon neutrality. I am convinced that
Cummins is the best partner in such a challenging time. Isuzu and
Cummins leadership has established strong mutual trust and respect
of each other since the first day of our partnership. I am
confident that our strategic partnership will continue and expand
over future generations of respective leadership,” added Masanori
Katayama, Chairman and Representative Director, Isuzu Motors
Limited.
