#china #cummins #engine China's "Fake" Cummins Engines Are SHOCKING America — Here's Why A Chinese engine with Cummins on the valve cover looks like a knockoff—until you look at who owns the factory. We follow Dongfeng Cummins and Beijing Foton Cummins from their licensing agreements to the ISG platform and America's lightweight X12. Then we look at the real counterfeit parts, Weichai's certified peak-efficiency claims, and the Foton tractors carrying Cummins-designed engines into Mexico and New Zealand.

Peak engine efficiency is not average road fuel economy; the fuel-cost comparison is illustrative.
