The class-leading Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is the direct result of the hard work and dedication of all of the Cummins employees who support the Ram Truck business,” said Dave Crompton, vice president - Engine Business. “Countless hours have contributed to these two awards, and we are very pleased by the recognition from our 25-year partner.”

Our award-winning suppliers, like Cummins, have proven themselves to be motivated, capable and excited to be on the Chrysler team.”

Award recipients were determined based on an evaluation of each company's External Balanced Scorecard performance in 2013 – a rating system that evaluates supplier performance in areas such as quality, delivery, cost, warranty and partnership – and input from Chrysler Group senior leadership.
