Senior Technical Advisor Cummins Scania Fuel System Joint Venture

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.Intro

Scania has a Joint Venture with Cummins Engine Company to develop and manufacture common rail fuel systems. Today this fuel system, known as XPI, is the predominant system used on both Scania and Cummins heavy duty diesel engines. The main product development site for the XPI system is located in Columbus, Indiana, USA and since 2017 a product development and product support office has been in operation at Scania in Södertälje. This office has created closer cooperation between Cummins and Scania and more efficient collaboration with other European customers and suppliers.

The Södertälje office has grown both in personnel and capability over the last few years and we are now roughly 30 employees, working in 3 separate groups. We work in a truly global environment with daily contact and collaboration with colleagues in the USA, India and China and with suppliers and other Cummins teams located worldwide. Being located at Scania has further developed our collaboration with the Scania R&D organization, allowing us to jointly develop and tailor future fuel systems for customers within the Traton organization. The Team are currently focused on designing and developing the next generation of fuel pump and fuel injector which will play an important role in meeting coming targets for emissions both in Europe and worldwide.
