On April 6, 2017, Zhou Aicheng, Project Leader of Cummins ISZ; Sun Bin, Design Director; Lü Lanlan, Materials Engineer; and Gong Yuzhen, Procurement Manager of DCEC, paid a special visit to ASIMCO Camshaft. The ISZ is a 13-liter heavy-duty truck engine. To meet the requirements for emission upgrades and weight reduction, the Camshaft has been reduced from its original 21.5 kg to 11.5 kg while still complying with China VI standards. The main purpose of this visit by Cummins experts was to jointly discuss with ASIMCO Camshaft the material, structure, and technical challenges of the Camshaft for this project, with the aim of significantly improving engine performance. During the visit, Cummins experts and ASIMCO’s camshaft technical team also exchanged views on future trends in new materials and technologies for camshafts. Both sides agreed that modular camshafts represent one of the future development trends, and that modular camshafts are a key new product our company is currently focusing on in R&D. Ultimately, the Z project has designated modular camshafts as an alternative solution for this project. The first batch of Alpha prototypes for the Z project will be delivered on June 15, 2017. The Cummins experts expressed their sincere gratitude to ASIMCO Camshaft for its support on the new project, particularly noting that the efficient technical exchanges between the two parties in the early stages have ensured steady and timely progress of the project.
