On October 11, the 2024 China International Internal Combustion Engine and Power Equipment Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "Internal Combustion Engine Exhibition") was held in Yizhuang, Beijing. As an industry leader, Weichai brought a variety of popular products to the exhibition, attracting a lot of attention with its strong product lineup and forward-looking industry layout.
As a leader in the internal combustion engine of commercial vehicles in China, Weichai not only continues to consolidate its dominant position in the field of traditional fuel engines, but also actively explores in the field of clean energy and new energy, showing its determination and strength to meet the new era of energy transformation.
So, at this year's Internal Combustion Engine Exhibition, what popular exhibits were exhibited at Weichai's booth? Take a look at the live coverage from the commercial vehicle news media.
A new generation of NG4.0 products was exhibited
At the exhibition, Weichai showcased two gas engines, WP15NG and WP13NG.
The WP15NG engine uses fast combustion technology, which increases the combustion speed by 30%, resulting in higher horsepower and torque output. At the same time, its TOP-DOWN cooling design reduces cylinder head temperature and improves engine reliability.
In addition, the natural gas-specific mixing & distribution technology improves the mixing uniformity by 6% and the consistency of each cylinder by 4%, further improving the performance of the engine. The stronger body design and excellent knock detection and control strategy ensure the long life and stable operation of the WP15NG engine, and the engine B10 life can reach 1.8 million kilometers.
The WP13NG engine also adopts a series of advanced technologies such as rapid combustion technology, combustion adaptive control technology, transient response control technology and pulse boosting system. The application of these technologies allows the engine to operate at a higher temperature and with a lower viscosity thanks to the pulse boost and EGR system, resulting in lower air consumption.
At the same time, the design of the high-reliability cylinder head, exhaust pipe, supercharger and high-strength moving parts system also ensures the stable operation of the WP13NG engine under harsh working conditions.
It is worth mentioning that Weichai's NG4.0 products not only have excellent performance, but also have extremely high adaptability. Whether it is trunk logistics transportation, compound transportation, resource transportation and other market segments, it can be perfectly adapted. In the context of the popularity of natural gas heavy trucks, the launch of NG4.0 products has further enhanced Weichai's competitiveness in the gas market and provided users with more and better choices.
A variety of "green power" solutions made a stunning debut
In the field of new energy, Weichai is constantly exploring the future of power technology. Whether it is hybrid, pure electric, or fuel cell and other cutting-edge technologies, we have invested a lot of R&D resources and energy, and are committed to creating efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent new energy power solutions.
At this year's Internal Combustion Engine Exhibition, Weichai showcased its power battery and fuel cell engine products.
At the booth, the power battery products on display cover 13~765kWh, with an energy density of up to ≥175Wh/kg, and have the core advantages of super safety, super strength, super life and super environment, which can be widely used in heavy trucks, light trucks, buses and construction machinery.
Another 110kW fuel cell engine has become an ideal choice for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicle scenarios such as sanitation, traction, and highway buses due to its advantages of topology lightweight design, multi-scenario verification, and intelligent thermal management and control technology. Its mass power density is as high as 605W/kg and its service life can reach 30,000 hours, fully demonstrating Weichai's leading layout and reserves in the field of new energy.
In addition, Weichai also exhibited four fuel engines, including WP2.5N, WP6HS/T/Q, WP14H/T/Q and WP12H/T/Q. These engines are oriented to different transportation scenarios, and have won wide recognition from the market and users for their excellent performance and reliability.
Brief summary:
As the "leading leader" of the industry, Weichai exhibited a multi-power solution covering traditional energy, clean energy and new energy, which not only demonstrated its strong strength and spirit of continuous innovation in the field of traditional fuel and gas engines, but also demonstrated its forward-looking layout and active exploration attitude in the field of new energy. In the face of the new era of energy transformation, Weichai will continue to strengthen its traditional advantageous markets, actively embrace the development opportunities of new energy, and contribute Weichai's wisdom to the sustainable development of the industry.
