Cummins Otokar partnership celebrates 20,000 coach and bus engines

Cummins and Turkish bus manufacturer Otokar are celebrating a 16-year partnership and the delivery of more than 20,000 engines into coach and bus applications.

A celebratory plaque presented by Cummins to Otokar marked the occasion at the Cummins engine plant in Darlington. The first installation took place in 2006 and now approximately 90% of buses produced at Otokar’s Sakarya manufacturing facility in Türkiye are fitted with Cummins Euro VI F2.8, B4.5 and B6.7 diesel or L9N natural gas engines.

“We are excited to celebrate this key milestone with Otokar,” says Cenk Yavuz, Türkiye Territory Manager at Cummins. “Since supplying our first engine, the Euro IV ISB4.5 for the Sultan midi-bus in 2006, we have worked in partnership to ensure our products meet Otokar’s needs for high performance, reliability, simplicity and easy maintenance. As Otokar’s business continues to expand, we look forward to working with them on future projects.”

Adds Kerem Erman, Assistant General Manager, Commercial Vehicles, Otokar: “The Turkish bus market grew 8% by units last year and we increased our market share substantially. One out of every two buses sold in Türkiye was Otokar branded, many of which were Cummins powered.

“A long-term partnership with our suppliers, reliable aftersales support, spare parts availability and warranty support are very important for us. We have a great relationship with Cummins – it is a trusted partner to Otokar and its Euro VI advanced diesel and natural gas engines have been instrumental to our success.”

For 13 years Otakar has been a leading bus supplier in Türkiye, selling products in lengths between 6.6m and 21m to more than 50 countries, with capacity ranging between 46 and 146 passengers. Cummins engines power its low-emission diesel and ultra-low-emission natural gas vehicles, which include the Kent, Territo/SHD, the Vectio/Doruk, and the Sultan/Navigo ranges.

The manufacturer recently extended its product line with Centro, a 6.6m minibus motivated by a 143hp (104kW) Cummins F2.8 Euro VI engine. It also recently received orders for high volumes of its Cummins powered natural gas Kent C compressed natural gas city bus from Ukraine, Romania and Azerbaijan for delivery this year.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
