Recently, the third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) "China-US Rail Transit Industry Roundtable" was held in Beijing. Seven leading international rail transit equipment and core component enterprises, including Cummins, together with representatives of relevant railway and supply chain enterprises and institutions such as China Railway Construction Corporation, the China Association of Metros, and the Rail Equipment Technology Professional Committee of the China Communications and Transportation Association, jointly explored cooperation opportunities in the "third-country markets" across the three major fields of freight railways, high-speed rail, and urban rail transit.

International Synergy, Deepening Cooperation

Based on the unique advantages and structural needs of the rail sectors in different regions, this meeting aimed to further connect international industrial chains through close collaboration among enterprises in the rail transit market, drive the global circulation of complete vehicles, core components, and technical services, and help maintain the stability of global industrial chains. At the same time, it created conditions for promoting multilateral technology sharing. In particular, in the course of the Belt and Road Initiative and global market development, the cooperation models of participating enterprises possess inherent inclusiveness and synergy, which is conducive to realizing technology transfer and sharing and building a win-win cooperation framework among multiple parties.

Value Empowerment, Winning in the Global Market

As a global leader in power solutions, Cummins actively participates in international cooperation on rail transit equipment and is committed to promoting the sustainable development of the industry:

01 Setting a Benchmark for Green Power

Cummins continues to develop high-performance, low-emission engine platforms to help enterprises meet China's low-carbon requirements for rail transit equipment, and has provided efficient power solutions in multiple hybrid and energy-saving rail projects in the Chinese market.

02 Empowering Third-Country Market Development

In projects such as the maintenance and construction of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway in Tanzania and the maintenance of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway in Indonesia, Cummins power systems have provided reliable support for vehicles under multi-party cooperation, helping Chinese technical standards "go global" and achieving "green upgrades" of rail transit equipment in multiple countries.

Cummins products have been applied in major third-country projects of multiple domestic enterprises. Representatives of participating enterprises also expressed their expectation to explore more cooperation opportunities with Cummins in the investment, construction, and operation of overseas high-speed rail, freight, and other projects in markets where US companies have advantages, such as Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

Cummins will continue to deepen technological innovation in areas such as green power solutions, full life-cycle equipment management, and intelligent control, injecting reliable momentum into the development of rail transit in international markets.
