In addition to providing traditional  prime power to developing countries, the demand has increased for Cummins to provide entire power  plants which includes all facets of the  process from buildingGLYPH<201>to operating and maintenance.  Cummins Power Generation enjoyed another great year with EBIT* almost doubling for the second consecutive year on modest sales growth. Continued strong growth is expected  as the GLYPH<210>new economyGLYPH<211> of high tech companies, heavily reliant on uninter- rupted sources of power, rapidly increases its demand for electrical  consumption. The fast growing Internet and telecommunication sectors  continue to rely on our unmatched  high technology in the form of digital control systems and sophisticated  back-up power for immediate,  seamless solutions. The growth in distributed power  generation, which is a move to put  electrical generating capacity closer  to utility customers rather than solely  in large, centralized utility plants, also creates new business opportunities, especially in North America. Our growth is diversified across many fronts with special emphasis on  increasing our value-added services.

We also initiated a three-year Six Sigma quality effort and the first year’s results were even better than we expected. Newage, our United Kingdom-based alternator subsidiary, enjoyed another impressive performance with strong profits and improved market share. NewageGLYPH<213>s successful joint venture in China has expanded to serve as a  low cost, regional export base for Asia.  www.funroads.com was launched  to offer our recreational vehicle (RV)  customers, with whom we enjoy an  80 percent market share, a variety  of information and services from  campgrounds to cookbooks.
