On September 23, at the 17th China (Beijing) International Construction Machinery, Building Materials Machines and Mining MachinesExhibition (BICES 2025), Cummins officially launched its brand-new low-carbon power solutions for the off-road market. The lineup includes next-generation excavator hydraulic-matched intelligent control systems, 3.9–15L hybrid power systems, and the 19L methanol industrial engine, empowering China’s construction machinery industry with innovative technologies and fostering a sustainable local ecosystem.

Marking the 50th anniversary of Cummins in China, 2025 represents both an upgrade of five decades of technological innovation and market practice in construction machinery, and a pivotal step in implementing the “Destination Zero” strategy in China. Since the introduction of the first high-power engine in China in 1975, Cummins has continuously provided comprehensive multi-power solutions, integrating global technological expertise with deep insights into the Chinese market. Over the past 50 years, the evolution from traditional fuel to low- and zero-carbon power systems, and from single applications to diversified power solutions, has positioned Cummins at the forefront of technology, delivering reliable and green power to China’s construction machinery sector.

Cummins’ new low-carbon solutions for the off-road market provide a variety of power options for the construction machinery industry. Engines from 3.9L to 15L have been developed with hybrid capabilities, including range-extended, P1, and P2+P2.5 architectures. Tailored for excavators, wheel loaders, mining trucks, rotary drilling rigs, and front cranes, these solutions integrate engine, motor, and battery into a deeply controlled system, significantly improving fuel efficiency and extending battery life. They deliver continuous, efficient, and low-emission performance even in extreme conditions such as high-altitude, cold regions, and heavy-duty operations.

Cummins also launched the 19L methanol industrial engine, developed and manufactured by Cummins Chongqing. This represents a major breakthrough in multi-fuel engine platforms in terms of displacement and fuel options.

A series of core components specifically designed for off-road applications were also showcased, supporting diverse operational needs while ensuring high efficiency and stable equipment performance.

At the exhibition, Cummins, together with domestic industry experts and users along the construction machinery value chain, officially inaugurated the Non-Road Powertrain Academy. Following the successful implementation of the Commercial Vehicle Powertrain Academy, this initiative marks another step in Cummins’ ecosystem development within the off-road sector.
