The Weichai Group, which is committed to promoting energy conservation and emission reduction through independent innovation, has sold more than 20,000 natural gas engines in the first half of this year and reached a record high.
It is understood that in line with the general trend of energy-saving emission reduction, this year's domestic internal combustion engine companies have increased production and sales of natural gas engines. In the first half of the year, sales of natural gas engines nationwide increased by 43.72% year-on-year, which is higher than the average level of the internal combustion engine industry. It increased by nearly 160% compared with the same period of last year, and the comprehensive market share reached 48%, becoming the brightest spot in the engine market.
"Internal combustion engines are not only energy-consuming, but also the most potential for energy-saving and emission-reduction. They are the best products for China's internal-combustion engine industry. It is to catch energy-saving and emission-reducing emissions." National policy for energy-saving and emission reduction, chairman of Weichai Group Tan Xuguang understood this way. Over the years, Weichai Group has adhered to independent innovation and scientific development, with green power products to help push energy conservation and emissions reduction, and through the construction of 1,000 R&D teams and “five countries and ten places” R&D bases, it has laid a foundation for the development of green power products. Good technical foundation.
In fact, Weichai Group has been at the forefront of the industry in the research field of low carbon and environmental power, especially in the technology and application fields of alternative fuel internal combustion engine products.
In September 2011, the first direct injection natural gas engine successfully fired successfully. This product was jointly developed by Weichai Power (000338, Shares) and Canadian Westport Corporation. It has the advantages of strong power, excellent environmental protection, and good economy.
In March 2012, the launching ceremony of China's first direct-injection natural gas engine was held in Beijing. The listing of this product completely broke the constraints of the original gas engine technology bottleneck and filled the blank of the domestic natural direct injection engine in the field of application.
In the first half of this year, the sales of direct-injection natural gas engines in Weichai exceeded 20,000 units, and they were well received in the fields of long-distance buses, wide-body dump trucks, heavy trucks, and construction machinery that are widely used.
