NEW ALBANY, Ohio — Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (NADAQ: CVGI), a leading supplier of fully integrated system solutions for the global commercial vehicle market, today announced it has been awarded its first wire harness business with Cummins Emission Solutions (CES), a division of Cummins Inc.
CES and CVG’s Electrical Systems group signed a Letter of Intent calling for CVG to supply CES’s 2013 “On Highway” program with wire harnesses. CVG products will be used as part of after-treatment systems provided by Cummins to power on-highway trucks.
Under the agreement, CVG will supply CES facilities in both North America and China with production expected to begin in late 2012. CVG will produce the CES products in its Agua Prieta, Mexico and Shanghai, China facilities.
“This is a great beginning to a meaningful, long-term relationship between CVG and Cummins,” said Kevin R.L. Frailey, president/GM of Electrical Systems for CVG. “The cooperation between both companies’ engineering teams in the USA, Mexico and China has been highly productive. We see a great opportunity for us to work together on this and future projects,” Frailey stated.
W. Gordon Boyd, the president who is responsible for CVG’s China facilities, said, “Cummins is clearly a pioneer in helping Chinese and other global customers achieve their fuel efficiency and emissions goals. We are proud to have been chosen by CES to work with them on these products.”
