The Centum difference
Power density and flexibility
Superior power efficiency in a smaller footprint, configured specifically for your application, to ensure you get the exact power you specify.
Alternative fuels
As part of the Cummins commitment to decarbonization and emissions reduction, the Centum Series is approved for use with paraffinic fuels (EN15940), including hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which offers the potential to reduce greenhouse gas without sacrificing performance
High altitude/ Ambient capability
Centum Series generator sets deliver power dependably, even in hot and humid climates, high altitudes and aggressive environments.
Transient performance
Fast recovery from large load swings leads to less power disruption and a more stable power supply for consistent, predictable operations.
Onboard diagnostics
Cummins maximizes uptime with advanced monitoring, diagnostics and predictive analytics, which no competitor can match.
Serviceability
designed for easy service and backed by one of the most efficient distribution networks in the industry — owned, trained and operated directly by Cummins. Innovative design also reduces the costs of maintenance and replacement parts.
With a complete spectrum of power ratings from new, higher-efficiency engines, you get exactly the right power you need for your unique requirements — without compromise.
Robust configuration flexibility ensures that each Centum system will meet or exceed local emissions regulations without sacrificing performance.
Centum Series generators are engineered to meet your power needs and your budget — optimizing the specification process.
Centum efficiently delivers the power you need in a smaller footprint, lowering both installation and fuel costs. Every aspect of your Centum Series generator is a business advantage.
The Cummins commitment
The Centum Series represents much more than a new approach to power generation. It’s a new standard for the next 100 years of power. You’ll also get the rock-solid dependability Cummins is known for, encompassing the design, build, install and service by Cummins expert engineers and technicians.
Cummins Inc. has extended its portfolio of Onan marine generator sets with the introduction of the MDC (Marine Diesel Cummins) Turbo and Onan QSB7E ranges.

Generators failing to start are not an option for mission critical facilities. Whether for public health, national security or business continuity reasons, the reliability of the generators and standby power systems is crucial to the continued operation of these facilities. More than 3,500 Cummins Inc. generator sets are installed in mission critical applications across the South Pacific, So
Picture this: You’re getting ready for the big game, your pregame playlist is in full effect…but then the music just stops. It’s a good thing sports fans aren’t superstitious, because this could be seen as a bad omen! Not only that, but if you lost power because you were running sound from your vehicle—draining its battery—your unlucky day is just beginning. What’s the alternative? Ideally, a s
Recently Cummins Power Generation expanded the release of Centum™ Force, our latest offering of fully integrated containerized generator sets, to 50Hz markets across the globe. To mark the occasion, Ignacio Gonzalez, Cummins Executive Director - Powergen Markets EMEIA, joined Jordan O’Brien, Editor at Electrical Review and Kayleigh Hutchins, Editor at Data Centre Review for an excit
The electricity grid is the largest machine humanity has ever made. It operates on a supply-side model – the grid operates on a supply/demand model that attempts to balance supply with end load to maintain stability. When there isn’t enough, the frequency and/or voltage drops or the supply browns or blacks out. These are bad moments that the grid works hard to avoid. The electricity grid consis
