YEARS OF “KEEP IT MOVING” 

FOREWORD 

This special edition culminates our “Keep It Moving” campaign which begun in Q3 2006 till 2008. It pays 

tribute to you—our customers, end-user of our products and Delivery Partners—for your encouragement, 

contribution and patronization of our merchandise. We hope you will enjoy reading the contents. 

“Keep it Moving” focuses on ASSURANCE, PERFORMANCE and INNOVATION. It was timely when we 

launched because the company went through a branding strategy. It gave us a good opportunity to 

introduce our new company identity as Cummins Filtration over Fleetguard. We were able to espouse on 

the themes by customizing our marketing initiatives with South East Asia and South Asia regional flavors. 

These are reflected in our newsletters, posters, marketing merchandises, promotions, seminars and 

product campaigns. You might have seen and been part of it. We hope through this magazine you will 

get to see the efforts and acknowledgements from the bigger Customer-Cummins Filtration Singapore in 

South and South East Asia. 

On the commercial fronts, we have seen these efforts contributed to our business growth and those of 

our Delivery Partners. We could not have achieved this by ourselves. For the end-users, we would like to 

believe you, too, have gained from the assurance, performance and innovation of the goods and services 

that we and our Delivery Partners have provided. 

Moving forward, we have seamlessly made the transition into our corporate “Get Real” campaign. This 

theme is becoming more relevant with the challenging year we all expect to see in next year’s business. 

We have gone through such times before and have emerged much stronger. You, our valued customers, 

our resourceful people, our stable business models and structures and our advanced quality products 

have helped to ride us out in the past. Nothing changes except more focus, diligence and discipline in 

doing our work. As you develop your strategic plan to overcome these challenging times, I wish you will 

continue to associate with the companies and products with a proven record. 

During this celebrative period, we at Cummins Filtration Singapore wish that you have a happy time with 

your family and more progress in your business going into 2009. 

Thank you.

Bangkok port and Laem Chabang port are two of the biggest international ports in Thailand and most of the terminal tractors in use, such as 

Ottawa, Kalmar, Sumittomo, Mitsui Paceco, Clark, Kramer, Belotti Ferrari etc, are powered by Cummins Engine. Cummins Diethelm Limited 

(CDL) took the opportunity to educate the authority to focus on improving the fuel system. The fuel system is the key of the factor to engine life 

where contaminated fuel will shorten life of the engine and increase higher operating cost. 

A project was launched to protect the fuel system by installing Fuel Pro on the equipments. Khun Suriya, Technical Sales Representative of CDL 

who is cover Laem Chabang ports offered the units of Fuel Pro on trial to customer for demonstrating the performance. After the Fuel Pro was 

installed to the machine and put to work about a month, the contamination was drained out to show to the customer. 

Customer was convinced of the outstanding performance of Fuel to protect his fuel system, when contaminants and water was drained out. 

Those would be most detrimental to engine should they be allowed to flow into the engine. The customer commented, “It not only protect my 

fuel pump and injectors but also save a lot of my operating cost!”.

CF Singapore Warehouse Move 

APRIL - On March 3, 2008, Cummins Filtration Singapore (CFS) new 

Distribution Centre (DC) was opened to serve our customers. The 

new CFS DC is equipped with many features designed to serve our 

customers to an even higher standard. 

Poised to take advantage of the strong business outlook in Asia, it 

provides an additional capacity for adding value-added services and 

customized solution to meet our aggressive 5 years growth plan. It 

delivers productivity within a CFS constraint resources and yet in a 

safe and conducive working environment. 

The new CFS DC is located in a recently completed multi-storey 

logistic hub. The new premise is located on the 5th floor at 46A 

Tanjong Penjuru, accessible by even a 40 footer container trucks. It is 

a stone throw away from the previous location. 

Expanded to more than double the space at 46,000 sq ft., it has a

MARCH - We would like to thank our customers for their patience 

during the period of 22nd to 29th February 2008 when shipments and 

collection were put on hold to facilitate the final phase of shifting into 

our new and bigger warehouse - physically moving and stock taking 

of the inventories. The new premise is a stone throw away from the

co-operation from our staff” said Helen Siah, Manager-Operation. 

“I like the new warehouse which is cleaner, more spacious and 

brighter” expressed Vani, CFS Warehouse Assistant. 

Chua, CFS Warehouse Supervisor added, “It even comes with a view, 

and I enjoy the sea breeze while overlooking the entire south coast of 

Singapore. That cheers me up when doing routine work.”

Cooling System : As Easy As 1,2, . 

South East Asia Newsletter - June 200 


Beware! New Faces of Fake Filters 

Counterfeit activities had been uncovered in various regions. Some 

of the latest trends we picked up recently are the look-alikes, where 

the design are similar to Fleetguard design except of their brand 

names and some claims were made to be in affiliation with Cummins 

Filtration China. These claims are illegitimate, planned to deceived 

customer, putting more harm than protection in your engines. 

1 


On May 27-28, 2008, Business Managers from Cummins Filtration 

Singapore, Vincent Leong and Michael Tan, shared with the Singapore 

Cummins office on the simple and easy method of maintaining the 

cooling system. 

Staffs from Singapore Cummins offices (RDO, EBU and CSSSPL) 

actively participated and provided real life scenarios on daily 

interaction with customers with regards to cooling system 

maintenance practices. Besides sharing the correct practices and 

benefits; the most important fact brought across are that by using 

Fleetguard’s Fully Formulated Coolant, it helps to reduce overall 

maintenance costs. 

The sessions provided wealth of easy to digest information that raised 

confidence of personnel in advising coolant maintenance; especially 

so for the frontline staff. The easy to use guide provided, made sure 

that champions of Fleetguard’s coolant product will surely come 

across as confident individuals with professional knowledge of the a 

proper cooling system practices. 

Use of fake or look-alikes will compromise engine protection 

via following : 

• Poor filtration micron rating, limited capacity, reliability & strength. 

• Poor sealing; resulting in fluid leakage. 

• Element burst; sending debris into engine systems. 

• Starvation; causing lack of lubrication or loss of power. 

• Rust formation; due to usage of low grade metal and poor 

process treatment.

Project Perisai - Indonesia 

Project Perisai (Shield) was launched in Indonesia last 7 July 2008 and was conducted in Banjamasin. Its main objective is to educate the 

market about the extended functions of a coolant, specifically Fleetguard’s Fully Formulated Coolant which is recommended by Cummins 

(please refer to Cummins Service Bulletin - 3666132-04). More than just providing anti-freezing protection in the radiator - it also provides 

additional protection against corrosion, scaling and other major potential damages to the engine. Additionally, Fleetguard is easy to use with its 

hassle-free service maintenance procedures. 

The seminar included events such as in-depth products training and an introduction to using the 6 Sigma methodology as a platform for 

improving the process for product promotion that will benefit end-customers. The key differences in engine cooling system protection between 

heavy-duty and light-duty operation was included in the discussion as to prevent any future error of using light-duty maintenance regime 

on heavy-duty application. In PT Altrak, a total of 29 participants from various functions all over Indonesia (such as Training Development, 

Service, Parts Logistics, etc.) attended the Coolant Marketing Kit launch. This team was lead by Mr Djoenaidi Soesanto – the Manager of Parts 

Marketing. And the Coolant Champion for PT Altrak Mr. Sarbaini helped localize the products training to all the employees of PT Altrak. This is a 

tremendous feat considering that he has just undergone a half-day direct product training with the CF Singapore staff! 

The week-long launch ended with an on-site visitation (photo on the left) to fully understand the actual requirements of the end customers 

which provided valuable advice for future improvements in our cooling system service maintenance program to the customers. 

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEMINAR 

• Identifying the common engine failure issues such as water pump 

impeller pitting, liner pitting, deposits & scaling, metal corrosion, 

cavitation corrosion and plugging. 

• Discussing the benefits of Fleetguard with its easy 3-step 

maintenance system. 

• Cummins recommendation on the use of Fully Formulated 

Coolants since it meets the ASTM D6210/The Maintenance 

Council RP 329 (ethylene glycol) and The Maintenance Council 

RP 330 (propylene glycol) specifications. 

• An introduction to using the 6 Sigma methodology. 

• Key differences in engine cooling system between heavy-duty and 

light-duty engines.

“Project Perisai’s main objective is to 

educate the market about the extended 

functions of a coolant...”

South East Asia Newsletter - August 200 


Project Perisai - Thailand 

Project Perisai (Shield) was launched in Thailand during Jul 28 - 

Aug 6, 2008 with Cummins Diethelm Limited (CDL). CDL’s Part 

Manager, Khun Surasak, was designated by Khun Udomsak 

(Executive Manager—After Market ) as the Coolant Project Champion 

due to his strong understanding of engines application. The main task 

was to deliver the benefits—protection and cost savings— of Fully 

Formulated Coolant to the market, especially to the end users. The 

project was supported by Cummins Filtration’s Thailand Business 

Manager, Khun Pipat, and S.E.A. Business Manager, Michael Tan. 

Properties of Fully Formulated Coolant (Glycol + Additive + Water): 

Also commonly referred as Anti-freeze, most of the customers know 

that it is for use in cold countries. This is a misconception of the Anti- 

Freeze properties, as it provides Anti-Boil and corrosion protection 

too! It raises boil point over that of water; and lowers the freeze point. 

In the area of raising the boil point, it should be understood that once 

the coolant exceeds its boil point, coolant contact at the heat rejection 

surface is broken and heat rejection rate is reduced. The resulting 

hot spot can cause cracking of the head (particularly at the exhaust 

valve seat region) due to extreme temperature variations, associated 

expansion and contraction differences. Localized corrosion can easily 

elevate at the steam hot spot especially when considering all the 

factors for corrosion are in place like heat, water vapour and other 

corrosive agents. 


“Most of the customers know that Anti- 

Freeze is for use in cold countries ...This is a 

misconception of the Anti-Freeze property as 

it provides Anti-Boil and corrosion 

protection too!” 

Benefits of Glycol is that it has less surface tension than plain water 

and when mixed with water at 50%, it basically makes water more wet. 

In the engine cooling system this “wetting agent” effect provides 

much improved carry-over of the chemical additive (DCA4) to 

penetrate into the metal surface and carry out the transformation from 

a soft exposed surface to a hard and less penetrable surface. Glycols, 

while being slightly heavier than water, are completely soluble and 

mixes well. And since it is slightly heavier, it works a bit like a shock 

absorber fluid and sees to it that the coolant has a better dampening 

effect on the bubble imploding shockwaves caused by cavitations. 

Glycol is an important chemical to mix with the coolant at 40%-60%. 

For more information, refer to Cummins Service Bulletin 3666132-04. 

Fleetguard Fully Formulated Coolant are such as: 

1. ES Compleat EG — Ethylene Glycol based. 

2. PG Plus — Propylene Glycol based, low toxicity protecting the 

environment.

Frank Sullivan Recognizes Cummins Filtration for Strong Contributions to Aerosol Filtration Technology 

24 Jun 08 — Based on its recent analysis of the aerosol filtration market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cummins Filtration with the 

2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation of the Year for developing high performance air filtration and 

crankcase ventilation systems that protect engines and significantly reduce total engine emissions. 

These systems provide superior protection in applications such as heavy duty trucks, agriculture, construction and mining equipment, and a 

variety of industrial products such as portable power generators, small engines and vehicle cabin filtration systems. 

With over 50 years experience in air filtration technology, Cummins Filtration has the most extensive product coverage in the industry, including 

a variety of filtration systems, coolants, fuel additives and exhaust systems. Its Fleetguard ® air filtration products are highly efficient (up to 99.7 

percent) and help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) meet customer demands for engine performance. 

Fleetguard products are recognized as robust and durable, allowing longer service life and providing greater uptime than competitive products 

in the market. Through both its products and services portfolio, Cummins Filtration provides a total value package to meet clients’ requirements 

for extended uptime, increased operator comfort, lower operating cost, and reduced environmental impact. 

“Cummins Filtration has demonstrated excellence in product development and innovation, which is also reflected in terms of the range of its 

intellectual property portfolio – 525 global patents, of which nearly 80 percent relate to filters or filtration technology alone,” says Frost & 

Sullivan Research Analyst Krzysztof Grzybowski. “ This design expertise provides Cummins Filtration a solid foundation to embark upon its 

product development efforts.

“Cummins Filtration has demonstrated excellence in product development and innovation, 

which is also reflected in terms of the range of its intellectual property portfolio – 525 global 

patents, of which nearly 80 percent relate to filters or filtration technology alone” 

One prominent innovation is the Fleetguard OptiAir filtration system, which is a complete line of seven air cleaner sizes, covering air flow 

requirements up to 1100 CFM. This modular system offers up to 50 percent greater particulate capacity in a rugged composite housing. Higher 

flow and lower restriction means that the filter can do the work of conventional filters in a smaller overall package size. 

Fleetguard crankcase ventilation filtration systems offer diesel engine OEMs the ability to decrease the amount of emitted particles including oil 

droplets and aerosolized crankcase blow-by – a requirement necessitated by increasingly stringent regulations. 

The system offers two technologies – service free, life of the engine impactors, and highly efficient coalescers featuring 

multilayer media. 

“Crankcase gases from heavy duty engines can contribute up to 120 percent of the total allowable particulate matter emissions, and the global 

trend over the last five years has been to completely eliminate oil drip with advanced open crankcase ventilation (OCV) breather solutions or in 

closed crankcase ventilation (CCV),” notes Grzybowski . “Cummins Filtration has applied the Impactor and Coalescer technologies to over 60 

percent of the EPA 2007 engines produced.” 

In summary, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cummins Filtration’s significant contributions in aerosol filtration product development and innovation 

by bestowing upon it the prestigious Award for Product Innovation of the Year. 

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has carried out new research, which has resulted in innovation(s) that have 

or are expected to bring significant contributions to the industry in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture. The Award recognizes 

the quality and depth of a company’s research and development program as well as the vision and risk-taking that enabled it to undertake such 

an endeavour. 

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding 

achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product 

development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive 

secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

Shipbuilders in Thailand - Protected by Fleetguard 

“ES Compleat is a Fully Formulated Coolant 

that provides superior engine protection, 

extends service intervals and simplifies any 

maintenance program.” 


A ship building and repairing company in Thailand embarked on a 

huge project that involved building more than 10 units of crew boats 

which operated in offshore oil rigs. Three units of Cummins KTA 50 

and two units of KTA38 engine was used to power the generators of 

each vessel. 

Mr. Khun Buncha, service manager of Cummins Diethelm Limited 

(CDL), is responsible for providing engineering expertise for the crew 

for both operational and maintenance requirement. In addition, the 

features and benefits of a Fully Formulated Coolant as warranted by 

Cummins, such as the ES Compleat, was introduced and discussed 

into detail in how it could prolong life of engine. 

Included in the discussion were the benefits and serviceability of the 

ES Compleat Coolant. It is a Fully Formulated Coolant that provides 

superior engine protection, extends service interval and simplifies 

any maintenance program. It is compatible with gaskets, elastomers 

and other non-metallics in the engine. Not only does it optimize 

cooling system performance, it also provides antifreeze and antiboil 

protection. 

Because of its remarkable performance and versatility, the ES 

Compleat received positive feedbacks from the maintenance 

engineers; as they mentioned that it is very convenient to use and 

there is no need to be concerned about coolant contamination.

Bus and Truck Exhibition 200 - Thailand 

Last 9 -11th October 2008, Cummins Diethelm Limited (CDL) participated in the Bus and Trucks Exhibition held in Thailand. Over 20,000 

visitors attended in a span of 3 days—this is considered the largest and most successful exhibition to-date. Khun Pipat from Cummins 

Filtration Singapore (CFS) together with Khun Udomsak and Khun Surasak from Cummins Diethelm Limited (CDL) Thailand, exhibited the new 

technology of Fleetguard products with their corresponding staff. 

The Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) uses the CNG technology and in turn delivers outstanding results in comparison with the competitor’s product. 

The combustion temperatures of the CNG are considerably higher than fuel and diesel and needs to be properly cooled down with the help of 

Fleetguard’s ES Compleat coolant. This is important especially on the exhaust valve and valve seat of the engine which are considered one of 

the main hotspot areas. Khun Udom, Cummins Diethelm Limited (CDL) General Manager, places a special focus on the needs of bus and truck 

engines which stresses on cost efficiency, while maintaining durability. The innovative technology of a Cummins NGV engine is more than able 

to provide these benefits to the customer. 

Among the successful products featured at the Cummins Diethelm Limited (CDL) exhibition, the gas filter NG5900 captured the undivided 

attention of the participants. This unique filter helps contaminate the oil present during compression since it will cause a short lifespan on the 

gas nozzle if overlooked. Other products included in the exhibition were Fleetguard products specifically Opti Air, Enviro Guard, Lube filtration, 

and Fuel Pro.

“Voice of Customer” Sessions 

From September to November 2008, a series of ‘Voice of Customer’ session was conducted in order to acquire important information straight 

from the customers themselves. One of the topic involved in the discussion was the customer’s requirements on engine maintenance products. 

By initiating these sessions, Cummins Filtration received honest and constructive opinions from the distributors, retailers and end-customers 

which identified missing product details that ultimately affects customer satisfaction. On the other hand, it assisted in confirming Cummins 

Filtration’s status as a premium engine maintenance products supplier in the region. 

Inside the program for the ‘Voice of Customer’ sessions, an educational presentation was conducted to further help the market understand 

the importance of buying genuine products and adhering to proper maintenance guidelines. Other valuable messages were discussed which 

provided the customers a better comprehension on the product usage. It also helped the sales team provide a higher level of service to the 

customers with them showing the customers how to reap the optimum benefits of the operation costs and maximizing the uptime of the fleet. 

Participants from various countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand and some fit customers have 

contributed in making the ‘Voice of Customer’ sessions a success.
