JAMESTOWN, N.Y.–Cummins recently rolled an important milestone off of its assembly at the Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP), in Jamestown, New York: the two millionth engine produced at that facility. The Columbus-based engine company acquired the more than one-million-square-foot plant in 1974, using it initially to manufacture engine components.
Since building its first engine in 1981, production at JEP in recent years has typically exceeded 100,000 engines annually. Jamestown is home to the production of Cummins heavy-duty engine technologies, including the X15, ISX12, X12, ISM11 diesel engines and ISX12N natural gas engine, as well as the ISX15 diesel engine and ISX12 G natural gas engine.
Two valued Cummins customers, Navistar and Penske Truck Leasing, are the recipients of the historic two millionth engine.
