Push the limits

Climb to a new peak of power

At present, green and low-carbon development has become a global consensus, and China has put forward the strategic goals of "carbon peak in 2030" and "carbon neutrality in 2060". The field of transportation is an important battlefield for the realization of the "double carbon" strategy, and the internal combustion engine industry plays an important role in this process.

Thermal efficiency is a measure of the internal combustion engine fuel utilization efficiency of the standard, the higher the thermal efficiency, the less fuel consumption, the more significant the effect of energy saving and emission reduction, reflecting the symbol of the comprehensive strength of a country's diesel engine technology, thermal efficiency improvement is also the common pursuit of the global industry since the birth of diesel engine 125 years ago. On September 16, 2020, Weichai Power released the world's first commercial diesel engine with a thermal efficiency of 50.23% in Jinan, setting a new benchmark for the thermal efficiency of global diesel engines, just like the first 100 meters in human history to run into 10 seconds. After 480 days, Weichai Power once again set a new record, the thermal efficiency of the diesel engine body reached 51.09% for the first time in the world, and it ran for 9 seconds on the 100-meter track, further enhancing China's discourse power in the global internal combustion engine industry.

The thermal efficiency of Weichai Power Diesel Engine body reached 51.09%, which is another major revolution in the thermal efficiency of traditional power, and also provides technical preparations for the implementation of the "National VII" emission standards. The application of this technology will fully realize Weichai Power's full range of diesel engines in all fields to lead the world; it is of great strategic significance for promoting energy conservation and emission reduction and green development of China's traditional internal combustion engine industry; and it has an important technological leading role in the global internal combustion engine industry.

According to estimates, compared with the existing mainstream products in the market (average 46% thermal efficiency diesel engine), 51% thermal efficiency diesel engine can reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by 10% respectively, which can save 16 million tons of fuel in China every year, with economic benefits of about 140 billion yuan; carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 50 million tons per year. In the future, with the large-scale application of this top technology in the industry, it will surely bring huge economic and social benefits.

"Hydrogen" leads the future

Create a model for hydrogen energy industry Qilu

While promoting breakthroughs in traditional power technologies and low-carbon upgrading, Weichai regards the development of new energy industries as one of its important strategic directions. This time, Shandong Heavy Industry Group delivered the first batch of Sinotruk hydrogen fuel heavy tractors to Shandong Port Group, supporting Weichai's high-power hydrogen fuel cell system, which has the characteristics of strong power, green environmental protection, safety and reliability, high efficiency and full attendance.

In 2021, Weichai Power will take the lead in building the country's only national fuel cell technology innovation center. At the same time, the Ministry of Science and Technology and Shandong Province signed a framework agreement on the "Hydrogen into Ten Thousand Homes" science and technology demonstration project, relying on the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center, to carry out multi-scenario demonstration applications of hydrogen energy in Shandong, accelerate the breakthrough of key technologies and industrial development of hydrogen energy, and create a replicable and replicable hydrogen energy industry Qilu model.

Since the implementation of the "Hydrogen into Ten Thousand Homes" science and technology demonstration project, with the strong support of the Ministry of Science and Technology and Shandong Province, the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center has established an innovation synergy with Weichai Power as the core and joint research by enterprises, universities and research institutes, accelerated the breakthrough of industrial chain technology bottlenecks and industrialization, and successfully developed a 15-200kW series of hydrogenated fuel cell systems, of which 200kW fuel cell systems participated in the national "13th Five-Year Plan" scientific and technological innovation achievement exhibition in October 2021 The first fuel cell fleet environmental adaptability test in an extremely cold environment was carried out, and a successful start under the conditions of minus 34 °C was successful, and the first company in the industry to achieve a product life of 30,000 hours, leading the process of fuel cell industrialization in China.

Based on the high reliability of fuel cell products, multi-scenario application demonstration work has been carried out.

In terms of hydrogen energy parks, the first high-power containerized hydrogen fuel cell cogeneration system and the first 30kW solid-state oxide fuel cell cogeneration system in China were put into operation in Weifang; the first 3-ton hydrogen fuel cell forklift in China was developed to create a zero-carbon logistics and handling environment.

In terms of hydrogen energy ports, the first 80-passenger hydrogen fuel cell passenger ship in China was successfully launched in Jinan Xueye Lake to achieve zero-carbon emission shipping; the country's first port hydrogen fuel cell heavy truck demonstration operation project was launched in Qingdao Port.

In terms of hydrogen energy high-speed, the country's first highway hydrogen refueling station was put into operation in Zibo; the 49-ton fuel cell heavy truck supporting Weichai power products ran for more than 5,000 kilometers on the route from Jinan Taigang to Qingdao Dongjiakou Port Area. On October 27 last year, China National Heavy Duty Truck Yellow River Snow Wax Truck equipped with Weichai's 162kW hydrogen fuel cell system was delivered to the Winter Olympics, achieving "China's first, world-leading and completely domestically produced". On January 4 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the snow wax car. A series of achievements marks that "hydrogen into ten thousand homes" is moving from blueprint to reality.

Tan Xuguang said that the thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine body reached 51.09%, the new energy was fully developed, large-scale demonstration application, Weichai "double engine" drive, unswervingly realize the traditional high-end power and new energy power to walk in the forefront, in the scientific and technological revolution and industrial change, for the national "double carbon" strategy to open up a new path for diversified energy transformation.
