Caminet History
Cummins, which of course many call it Cummins or Commons, officially started its activity more than a century ago, in 1919, in the state of Indiana, USA. Kelsey Cummins, the owner of this brand, who had experienced various jobs in the field of work and commercial vehicles before establishing Cummins, launched his brand at the age of thirty. Kelsey Cummins was really a prodigy! Although he had only 8 grades of education, at the age of 11 he was able to build a steam engine and use it in his father's farm. In 1915, he built a prototype of a gasoline engine to impress Mr. Irwin, the investor of the Cummins brand.
Cummins finally produced its F series engine two years after the establishment of its company in 1921 by registering the design of the direct fuel injection system in its diesel engines. After this series, Cummins introduced its U series engines, which were more advanced and more efficient than all its previous products.
The Second World War should be considered one of the most important events in the heavy and semi-heavy vehicle industry, because many companies produced various products during the war years! To produce and deliver to the Allies from destroyers, tanks and even ships. This also caused this company to continue its rapid growth.
Cummins finally established another plant outside the United States in 1950 to expand its production and, of course, more. England was the first destination outside the home of Kelsey Cummins until finally the brand officially entered Europe
