AirCare: Uniqueness of Cummins Corporate Set

Occasionally it can be difficult to spot the disparity between a genuine Cummins generator set and a non-genuine set. However, it is the little details that make a huge distinction.

Non-genuine generator sets may be suitable with a Cummins engine but they are not built using the same procedures or materials to Cummins precise specifications.

Can anybody tell if the generator of particular industry is Genuine?

Non-authentic generator set is a sure risk.

The production of generator sets entering the South Pacific region suited with cheap cloned and counterfeit parts has been causing a serious threat to consumers.

A number of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in China are using Cummins based engines in generator sets and sell the merchandise to the South Pacific region as Cummins generator sets supported by Cummins’ genuine warranty.

Birol Guler, General Manager of Cummins Power Generation in the South Pacific, says that these engines are designed for Chinese domestic applications only.

Further, Cummins asserts that a generator fitted with a Cummins engine does not guarantee the generator is built to Cummins’ exact specifications. The use of non-genuine components in generator sets can result in poor dependability, even malfunction.”

As these non-authentic parts look as if the original, many buyers are hoodwinked into discernment that they are acquiring the authentic Cummins generator set.

Cummins has examined a number of non-authentic parts and discovered they do not function to the same standard as authentic Cummins parts.

Some producers may assert their parts will work in a Cummins generator set, but the fact is only authentic Cummins parts are developed to meet the original factory specifications while using the up-to-date materials, component designs and manufacturing techniques.

Only generator sets produced at Cummins factories are with complete backing of worldwide warranty and supported by Cummins’ extensive parts and service network in the South Pacific.

Counterfeiting is a worldwide issue

Corporations invest significant amounts of time, resources and effort creating their products to guarantee excellent performance, meet strict safety regulations and are built of superior materials. This may not be present in illicit, fake and copied products.

Cummins Power Generation is dyed-in-the-wool to safeguarding consumers by guiding them to the exact channels to procure authentic.

The only reason why a particular is counterfeited is its trust that has been established worldwide in terms of excellent quality, performance and dependability.

Other Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) across China use Cummins based engines, export this equipment to the South Pacific region, and promote the product as Cummins generator sets supported by Cummins genuine warranty. It is interesting to note that these engines are designed for Chinese domestic applications only.

Cummins wants to clarify the facts around product warranty and support coverage for Cummins engines used in Power Generation OEM equipment from China:

Warranty coverage barely covers the base engine as manufactured and transported from the Cummins engine manufacturing plants.

Owners of generator sets with a base Cummins engine needs to contact their supplier(s) for all warranty outside of base engine.

Cummins takes no accountability for workmanship and interfacing between the engine and off engine components. Rather, this is the equipment manufacturer/supplier’s obligation.

Cummins South Pacific can only perform repairs on engines if the generator set meets a particular country’s Design standards and Electrical Compliance.

Cummins South Pacific can only guarantee parts accessibility and trained technicians for authentic product.

Acquiring from Cummins or an authorized dealer guarantees full factory warranty for industries’ complete generator set. Only Cummins branches and authorized dealers are given the permission to trade Cummins product and guarantee full warranty and after-sales support.

PowerCommand® control is unique to a Cummins generator set. It is a microprocessor-based monitoring, metering and control system designed to harmonize with the demands of today’s engine driven generator sets. The incorporation of all control functions into a single control system offers improved dependability and workmanship unlike orthodox generator set control systems.

Non-authentic generator sets come in different colors with second-rate build quality and materials. These generator sets may not meet Cummins or ISO standards. Thus, they are not supported with Cummins’ worldwide warranty. Furthermore, parts and service for those non-authentic gensets may not be held or supported by Cummins.

John Bortolussi, director of engineering for Cummins South Pacific says that using non-authentic parts can result in speedy degeneration, poor dependability, high oil consumption and even generator set malfunction.
