After a few years of sluggish performance, Cummins’ markets have begun to improve. Engine production for the former DaimlerChrysler and China’s Dongfeng Motor Company, along with increased filtration product sales, helped to increase revenue steadily since 2003.  The company's best year ever was and 2005, then 2006, and then 2007. Cummins is expanding globally, and focusing on investments in Brazil, China, India, and Russia among other emerging market countries.
