DARLINGTON, UK – Cummins announced Friday that its factory in Darlington, England had recently produced its 1.5 millionth Mid-Range engine. The site employs around 1,500 people and manufactured 66,000 engines in 2021.
The Darlington plant opened in 1965, originally building V6 and V8 diesel engines. Production switched to Mid-Range engines in 1985 following an $18 million factory upgrade.
The Mid-Range engines are the B and C Series products, the forerunners of the ultra-clean low emission products manufactured today. They power a wide range of truck, bus, construction, agriculture, military, and marine applications around the world.
The 1.5 millionth engine is destined for Hyundai Construction Equipment in South Korea, which has been an important partner of the Cummins off-highway business for over 30 years.
