The two MRCs provide the latest cutting-edge technology to meet industry needs, including dynamometer testing to full power for some of Cummins’ largest engines, and rebuilds ranging from 19 litres to 95 litres. Apart from the wide engine size range, the main advantage for customers is zero hour rebuilds and a strip-and-quote service.
“Our aim with our global MRC network is to be closer to our customers,” says Minenhle Mlotshwa, AME NRP Assistant Product Manager. The South African MRC previously operated in Kelvin, Sandton before relocating to the new PowerHub facility in Waterfall City in Midrand, Johannesburg South Africa. The Dubai MRC commenced operations in 2012 and conducted the first-ever QSK95 engine rebuild globally in 2016, Cummins’ largest engine.
The two MRCs ensure that Cummins has a healthy swing engine bank in the region. They also facilitate stockholding of the correct genuine New and Recon® components for scheduled rebuilds, in addition to maintaining an inventory of fast-moving items for common engine platforms. “This guarantees that we are able to service our customers in the AME region and meet all of their requirements,” says Mlotshwa.
The key focus for Cummins is to establish top-level relationships with its customers that focus on technical expertise and service and aftermarket support. “It allows us to grow our rebuild business, while at the same time investing in quality equipment and continuous training of our staff and technicians,” says Mlotshwa.
Commenting on the impact of Covid-19 on the business, she says that Cummins has continued to experience strong market demand, even throughout the pandemic. “We work closely with our customers to understand their rebuild cycles in order to anticipate future demand and plan accordingly,” concludes Mlotshwa.
