From August 12 to 19, 2013, a three-member ASIMCO Camshaft team, led by Technical Director Dai Hongxing, visited the CEP plant of Cummins Inc. in Columbus, Indiana, USA, to discuss the Viking project. The Cummins Viking project falls under the company’s Light-Duty Diesel (LDD) engine line. This engine model features eight cylinders arranged in two banks of four in a V configuration, with a displacement of 5.0 liters, making it a high-end V8 automotive engine. The project is a significant initiative for Cummins in the light-duty engine segment. During this visit, the ASIMCO Camshaft team held face-to-face discussions with Cummins representatives, including Rod C. Wilson, Director of Procurement for the LDD project, and Paul E. Gray, Procurement Manager, reviewing the project’s progress, exchanging updates on the current status, and discussing the next steps to prepare for mass production in 2014. In addition, the team toured the LDD engine assembly line at the CEP plant and explored opportunities for expanding other business areas. They also visited two other medium-duty engine plants—CMEP and RMEP—and engaged with the procurement departments there regarding camshaft-related business.
