July 12, 2023
In the newly completed Weichai (Yangzhou) Yaxing Automobile Industry Park in Beishan, Yangzhou, Shandong Heavy Industry and Weichai Power released the Yangtze River Delta Strategy on the 10th: As an important strategic segment, Weichai will use its own technological scale advantages The Yangtze River Delta plate hit a light engine base, a commercial vehicle base and a special vehicle base.
According to this strategic plan, by the end of 2018, relying on the strong research and development capabilities of Weichai, this segment will achieve an annual output of 400,000 sets of light engine targets; Yaxing bus sales will reach 15,000, returning to the leading position in the industry; The business will also rely on the advantages of the powertrain to expand from sanitation trucks to mining vehicles and other diversified markets. Sales volume will reach 5,000 units, making it among the top market segments.
The Yaxing Automobile Industrial Park built with an investment of 1 billion yuan and the light engine industrial park on Chunjiang Road are separated on both sides of the ancient city of Yangzhou, one north and one south, echoing each other and becoming the foothold of this strategic concept. The newly completed industrial park, located in the northern part of Yangzhou, covers an area of 1,000 mu and has a total construction area of 300,000 square meters. It is equipped with a global advanced production line. “In the overall strategic layout of the group, Yangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou are As the representative of the Yangtze River Delta, it has been an important part of the overall business of the Group and is the main carrier for the transformation and upgrading of the entire vehicle business.In the Yangtze River Delta Region, we will use Yangzhou as the center, relying on Yaxing and Yaxing. The three companies, Commercial Vehicles and Shengda Special Vehicles, are building first-class R&D and manufacturing bases for domestic passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and special vehicles, and relying on Yangchai Power to build a full-area light engine R&D and manufacturing base with core technologies. We will give full play to its regional advantages, create operations management and control of Weichai, match R&D of power and vehicle, and CAE computing center. Our goal in the Yangtze River Delta region is to ensure that by the end of 2018, the sales revenue of various enterprises in Yangzhou will exceed 10 billion yuan, and it will truly become Ten billion-grade R&D and manufacturing bases for complete vehicles, complete engines, and low-power engines, to achieve the overall strategic goals of the Group Make greater contributions," Tan Xuguang said at the meeting.
At the conference with the theme of "strategic lead and dream voyage", not only the superior products of the Yangzhou plate were displayed, but also other products on the Weichai Group's industrial chain were fully present. Powertrain, Shaanxi Auto Heavy Truck, and Faw Special brands such as Special Gear Box and Hande Axle were unveiled. These products, which embody the cutting-edge technologies of Weichai, were divided into several exhibition areas at Yaxing Industrial Park. The industrial layout of Weichai was demonstrated to the participants: Taking the power system as the core, the three gold industrial chains of heavy trucks, passenger cars and yachts are marching in tandem with each other, and their advantages are increasingly apparent.
Weichai's strategic vision is based on a complete vehicle and complete machine, with a power system as its core, and it has become a leading global, core technology and sustainable development international enterprise group for transportation and industrial equipment, providing a full range of products to global customers. The green power system in the entire field has become a system solution provider in the field of commercial vehicles and equipment manufacturing; it has become a leader in technology, a leader in the industry, and a maker of standards, providing continuous and powerful power and equipment for the Chinese industrial economy. Achieve the world dream of China's equipment manufacturing industry. At the meeting, Weichai also announced that by the end of the twelfth five-year period, Weichai's business income will reach 180 billion yuan, and by the 13th five-year plan, its business income will reach 300 billion yuan, and it will enter the world's top 500 companies. Under this strategic framework, through the adjustment of the business structure, the leading role of the entire vehicle will be further enhanced with a contribution of more than 60%; the contribution of the international market revenue will exceed one-third, initially establishing a favorable global market balance; 10%, initially forming a stable structure across the economic cycle.
This strategy is undoubtedly a strong support of the Yangtze River Delta strategy. In fact, the stronger support comes from the technology and brand advantages accumulated by Weichai in more than ten years.
Weichai products and capital "two-wheel drive" model has achieved today's glory. Weichai, which has done well in the capital market, has also been devoting itself to expanding its own product boundaries and improving product space. Through independent research and development, link innovation, international cooperation, mergers and reorganization, etc., a high-medium-speed, low-speed parallel lift has been constructed in the engine block, with a displacement range of 2 to 289 liters and a power range of 25 to 10,000 horsepower. With the engine as the core, Weichai has extended its powertrain and commercial vehicle gold industrial chain, and has continuously upgraded its energy-saving and environmental-friendly engines: in cooperation with Westport International, it has developed high-power natural gas engines.
Weichai has developed and grown up in the continuous improvement of its products. Under the influence of capital mergers and acquisitions and industrial synergy, Weichai has gradually moved toward the entire field and began to cover every aspect of people's production and life. Weichai has formed a product matrix in medium-heavy trucks, passenger cars, construction machinery, boats, and generator sets, and has played a pivotal role in various market segments. It has truly become a full-range, full-field power supplier.
At the beginning of this year, the Weichai Group held a science and technology week exhibition, which has still vividly remembered the industry: more than 80 new products made its appearance and made Weichai a global leader. The goal of the entire field and all series of universal power suppliers has been fully realized. The 51 new technologies, including the high-pressure common rail electric control system and HPDI new energy engine technology, vividly demonstrated the Weichai Group's scientific and technological research and development achievements, and demonstrated to the world the most advanced development concepts and product technologies, as well as the most advanced technologies. Scientific and technological achievements, Weichai's competitiveness is self-evident.
Yaxing Bus merged into Weichai for two years. With the system solution of Weichai Powertrain, the market broke the subject quickly and won the recognition of customers. The performance grew rapidly in the short term. It is foreseeable that the layout of Weichai in the Yangtze River Delta plate will make it another force point on its territory.
