Cummins in Daventry manufacture high horsepower engines that range in size from 500 to 3500 horsepower and from 38 to 91 litre (remember that the average engine size is between 1 and 2 litres) The manufacturing process includes machining of the cylinder block, assembly of the engine, and then each engine is put through a test programme to ensure it meets Cummins’ high standards.

The engines can be used in numerous applications including Power Generation, Construction, Marine & Rail Locomotives. It is not commonly known that a Cummins engine is used to supply the London Eye with backup power in the event of a power failure.
