All along, China's strength in the field of engines has lagged behind people, domestic engines are always labeled as "low quality", the reason is that domestic engines are not as good as Japanese engines in terms of fuel, so they are often complained about by netizens.
The reason why Japanese engines are recognized is mainly because their thermal efficiency performance is very eye-catching, while the performance of domestic engines is relatively inferior, which makes the fuel consumption of domestic engines high, so it is difficult to be accepted by the public.
Thermal efficiency is a key indicator of engine quality, because it will affect the range of the same amount of oil, the higher the thermal efficiency of the engine, its fuel consumption will be lower, so the mileage will be longer.
With the rise of China in various fields, the current situation has changed, domestic engines have also achieved breakthroughs in thermal efficiency, Weichai Power has completely changed the public's perception of domestic engines with strong technical strength.
As early as 2020, Weichai Power unveiled the world's first diesel engine with a thermal efficiency of up to 50.23%, breaking the best performance in history, and since then Weichai Power has continued to seek breakthroughs, and now it has finally achieved new results.
On January 8, 2022, Weichai Power announced its latest technical achievements, creating the world's first diesel engine with a thermal efficiency of 51.09%, and it should be known that the thermal efficiency of mainstream diesel engines on the market is about 46%, and Weichai Power has directly increased by several percentage points.
The engine launched by Weichai Power has been recognized by the industry, which will be an important milestone in the history of scientific and technological progress in the automotive engine industry.
After the commercial promotion of Weichai Power's 51.09% ultra-high thermal efficiency diesel engine, the biggest significance is to reduce the consumption of oil, according to the calculation of netizens, it can save 16 million tons of diesel fuel for China every year, and reduce carbon emissions by 50 million tons.
It can be seen that this engine of Weichai Power can indeed make great contributions to the "double carbon" goal, and weichai Power has also won back face for domestic engines with the help of this engine, successfully getting rid of the "low-quality" stereotype of domestic engines.
Weichai Power's ability to launch such a leading diesel engine is also closely related to the company's emphasis on research and development, setting up cutting-edge technology innovation centers in many places around the world, and building a global collaborative research and development platform, which can make its own technical level keep up with the forefront of the world.
Nowadays, Weichai Power's products are all over Europe, North America, Asia and other regions, and are exported to more than 110 countries and regions around the world.
It is worth mentioning that in 2021, the annual output of Weichai power engines has refreshed the highest record in the global diesel engine industry, reaching 1.05 million units, and its strong technical strength and excellent products have made Weichai Power the world's first diesel engine manufacturer.
In the future, Weichai Power aims to achieve a world-class level of traditional businesses by 2025, achieving revenue of 100 billion US dollars, and achieving revenue of 1 trillion yuan by 2030, and the main core businesses will enter the top three in the world.
And this is not the end of Weichai Power's development, not the end of China's engine industry, the next domestic engine will move in a higher direction, to achieve more breakthroughs, I hope that more excellent domestic engines will be born, so that new domestic products can rise in an all-round way!
