QSK95 arrives in Japan

Cummins has secured a deal with a Japanese data centre for emergency power generation.

The product selected is QSK95, the biggest generator ever imported into Japan in Cummins’ 60 years of business there. Globally, Cummins data centre generators are in high demand due to the growing size of data centres. Rated at up to 3.5 MW, Cummins Power Generation’s new high-horsepower QSK95 Series generator sets provide enhanced reliability, lower fuel costs and a reduced installation footprint. The QSK95 generator sets are Cummins most powerful diesel generator sets to date, offering up to 3.5 MW 60 Hz and 3.75 MVA 50 Hz. They are engineered with the highest kilowatt per square foot ratio in their class, resulting in a smaller footprint that achieves a 20% improvement in power density. While the new generator sets boast more power, they also offer best-in-class fuel economy — over 8,000 hours of operation, the QSK95 can achieve fuel savings of more than $400,000.

Powering the waves

The latest 34m Australian Navy hydrographic vessel is powered by twin Cummins QSK19M marine diesel engines rated at 560kW@180rpm.

The vessel was built by Profab Engineering, in Palmerston North, New Zealand. The 19-litre QSK19 with the Cummins modular common rail fuel injection system is a standout for reliability and durability. It can get up to 800 hp, has improved idle stability and the engineering to withstand the toughest conditions marine operators face.

Congratulations to the team in New Zealand and everyone involved.

SSRT selects Cummins

Sungshin Rolling Stock Technology Ltd (SRST) in South Korea is buying 17 X15 S-IIIA locomotive engines from Cummins.

SRST, established in 1990, manufactures bogie assemblies for passenger trains. The X15 S-IIIA units will be delivered in Q2 2022. Brian Yoon, Engine Sales Manager, Cummins Service and Sales Korea (CSSK), said Cummins competed against another supplier that offered a lower price, but the sales team had built a trust relationship with SRST, so Cummins was selected as the preferred supplier. Brian said the sales team, led by Robert Yoo, Engine Account Manager CSSK, encouraged SRST to consider aspects other than price, and highlighted Cummins’ service and technical support capabilities.

Case studies

Cummins employees have been instrumental in referring candidates to the recruitment department this year. Let’s hear from them about why they referred candidates and what made them recommend the candidate to Cummins.

“I worked with Daniel Johnson while conducting field service work for a customer. He was referred to me by his boss, who said he is their best mechanic. I got to know Daniel in a personal capacity and built a good friendship. When I heard we were looking for more technicians, I knew Daniel would be a massive benefit to the business.” – William Jones, TechnicianMechanical, Tomago. “I’ve known Shayden personally for quite some time and he started off in a light vehicle trade. Understanding the benefits of working at Cummins, such as upskilling and the performance management plan, I felt this would be a good company for him to join. I decided to recommend Shayden to Cummins as he desired to work for an employer that would offer him the development and skill set needed for a career in mechanics.” – Michael Murphy, Technician-Mechanical, Laverton. Let’s hear from the referred candidates about their experiences with the recruitment process and Cummins so far. “The recruitment system works well; they could answer all my questions. Everything was slipstreamed. My experience with Cummins has been great, the team I work with is fantastic and access to information is great.” – Daniel Johnson, Mechanical Technician, Tomago, Newcastle. “The recruitment process was pretty straight forward, they covered everything, and I don’t see how they can improve. The process has been a positive learning for me.” – Shayden Barrett, Mechanical Technician, Laverton.

Call to action

In recent months we have seen an influx of roles in areas such as Laverton, Tomago, Perth and Port Hedland. If you are a Cummins employee who knows anyone in your network who would be interested in an opportunity at Cummins, we want to hear from you. Make candidate referrals via the ERP portal, referrals.cummins.com.

Once a submission is made, the system will contact the referrer and the referral candidate via email to notify them. Referred candidates go through the same selection and assessment process as candidates who have not been referred. If a referral candidate is selected for hire, the recruitment department will notify their HR representative and the employee who made the submission.

Thank you to all for your fantastic referrals and partnership with ERP.
