"Now the engine is in short supply again. In November, 60,000 units were not enough." During a recent interview with Weichai, Mr. Li Shaohua, Assistant to the President of Weichai Power Co., Ltd., told reporters.
In October 2010, the news from Weichai also showed that due to the continuing trend of sales of Weichai engines, the high-speed machine market remained at a high level after more than half a year, and the dominant WP10 model became The main force on the market.
In fact, the reporter also understands the situation of WeiChai's production and sales. In the first half of 2010, the reporter learned that many OEMs have complained about the supply of Weichai because 2010 did not expect the heavy truck market to be such a fire. Weichai Engine has already become a tight commodity in the market, so much so that it will reach Weichai. The waiting time for picking up is even longer than in previous years.
The market is the best place to reflect the quality of products. Although some users have complained that they did not buy the engine products of Weichai in time, the quality of the Weichai engine has always been praised by many manufacturers. Its brand awareness and loyalty are still very high and have improved. The reporter learned that, with the overall overcapacity in the domestic engine market, the Weichai engine can continue to sell well, which is inseparable from its long-standing technological advantages and quality assurance system. In particular, Weichai has always insisted on adopting high-end technology routes and using products from top-notch suppliers at home and abroad, making its engines catch up with the two major markets of heavy-duty trucks and construction machinery in the long-term. At the same time, Weichai has reaped many orders in the passenger car market and other fields in the past two years. .
Production and sales are only one aspect of the product. Since 2010, Weichai's product structure adjustment and layout can be said to be unprecedented. With the changes in market demand and the improvement of its own product line, Weichai's product structure adjustments have also become more in place, and the spectrum of diesel engines has gradually become complete. Currently, in addition to the 10 to 12-liter series of heavy-duty engines that account for 35% to 40% of the market share, the 5 to 7-liter engine independently developed has undergone more than two years of market inspection in the fields of passenger cars, excavators and medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Formed a large market breakthrough; Weichai Power Yangchai introduced the world-famous engine company VM company's 2 to 4 liters engine, the technical indicators are very advanced, is a light passenger, SUV, pickup, van and other products Ideal power and broad prospects for development; the 16-litre engine series of Baudouin, acquired by Weichai, can be deployed on the marine market and the forthcoming yacht market of Shandong Heavy Industry Group; and the introduction of the 3,000 to 10,000 hp engine series of the Man Corporation , can begin to layout the market for marine and power generators. From 2 to 620 liters, with power from 30 to 10 thousand horsepower, Weichai's product spectrum gradually became complete, and the engine product line width has surpassed all other engine suppliers in the world.
September 2010, Weichai Power Landking Ⅱ generation of engines on the market. Since the launch of the Blue Engine Group's third-generation engine in 2005, Weichai 's new generation of environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient, and highly efficient engines has quickly gained market acceptance. In response to changes in the actual operating conditions, usage habits, and user needs of domestic heavy trucks, Weichai has improved the three major configurations of the Blue Engine I by virtue of its rich experience in R&D and manufacturing, and has developed and deployed the “fuel oil Hanbao 007” and “ "Electromagnetic temperature fan" and "Turn to giant pump" as the logo of the second generation of products. Through the improvement of these three major configurations, the Blue Engine II engine has been improved in several aspects such as improving the performance of the entire machine, improving fuel economy, improving driving comfort, improving engine adaptability, and reducing failure rate. Moreover, the Lanqing II engine uses an upgraded version of Weichai's "common rail line" product. Both hardware and software have been improved. It is easier to install than the I-generation product, the system is safer, the product is more reliable, and communication is faster.
Li Shaohua disclosed to reporters that among the engine series products that will be displayed at the annual Weichai Business Conference to be held in early December 2010, many models are geared to the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” and future development. Li Shaohua said: "We have planned for the '12th Five-Year' product and we have already had physical products. Most of them have already been listed in small quantities."
