FOTON’S JOINT VENTURE WITH CUMMINS
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. Because of the success of the ISF engine range Cummins has advanced engine development at the factory to include both the ISG and X ranges of engines. The investment in the plant from both Cummins and Foton has resulted in an engine plant that is the most technologically advanced in the Cummins network worldwide.
Foton’s Aumark truck is equipped with the Cummins ISF2.8 (BJ1051) or ISF3.8 (BJ1079 and BJ1099) engines. The engine was designed for light commercial vehicles. The result is an advanced four-cylinder lightweight diesel engine which is electronically controlled, features high-pressure, direct injection and Cummins patented Variable Geometry Turbo technology. Meeting Euro V standards means a world standard engine supplied with every Foton sold in New Zealand.
