Yuchai has made great innovations in science and technology. On May 30, on the National Science and Technology Workers Day, Yuchai displayed its latest scientific and technological achievements and launched China's first flexible fuel engine platform for commercial operation and the first batch of second-generation China VI engines that meet the Phase IV fuel consumption standards. In addition, Yuchai will spend RMB 40 million to reward major science and technology projects this year, which will reach RMB 190 million within three years.
Li Hanyang, Chairman of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd., accompanied by middle and senior management leaders, presented scientific and technological innovation achievements to representatives of workers in science and technology.
With an autonomous controller and a general cylinder head, Yuchai's flexible fuel engine platform can be customized to match different fuels through adjustments to the fuel feed system, cylinder head, and software. This enables the production of a wide range of products at a lower cost and faster development pace, catering to the personalized needs of customers. In addition, Yuchai has attained four leaderships in terms of release, layout, technology, and demonstration operation by developing the flexible fuel engine platform. The first YCK15N gas engine and YCK15 diesel engine of the platform were first introduced in 2023.
At the exhibition of scientific and technological innovation achievements, Yuchai launched YCS04, YCS06, YCS07, YCK09L, YCK12L and other China VI innovative products that meet the Phase IV fuel consumption standards. Furthermore, Yuchai showcased their technical expertise in power system and vehicle simulation testing, advanced vibration noise development, automatic unmanned driving development, and innovative core parts such as autonomous controllers.
On the National Science and Technology Workers Day, Yuchai's science and technology workers have a new platform to showcase their skills and expertise: the newly-built test platform for medium-speed marine & G-drive engines. Covering an area of about 6,000 square meters, the test platform for medium-speed engines is benchmarked against the advanced high-power engine R&D and test platforms at home and abroad and will serve as Yuchai's high-power engine test platform for future emissions standards. This fully equipped medium-speed engine test platform at Yuchai enables the company to expand into the field of medium-speed engines, marking the completion of Yuchai's technical preparations for entering this field.
At the press conference, Li Hanyang expressed full appreciation for the innovation achievements and extended his holiday greetings and words of encouragement to Yuchai's science and technology workers. Li Hanyang said that science and technology constitute the primary productive force, and Yuchai has always attached great importance to sci-tech innovation and sci-tech workers. Even in the most difficult period, Yuchai persisted in sci-tech innovation and made every effort to motivate sci-tech workers to push the boundaries of technology. After 72 years of ups and downs, Yuchai is still full of vitality, inseparable from the continuous sci-tech innovation achievements and the tireless effort and vitality of sci-tech workers at Yuchai. In recent years, Yuchai's large investment in sci-tech R&D has led to a substantial increase in hardware R&D strength, a growing R&D team, and various sci-tech innovations. As a result, we have achieved the top ranking in the National Enterprise Technology Center in China, and our products are also expanding their reach overseas, creating numerous world firsts along the way.
Li Hanyang put forward expectations and requirements for sci-tech workers, including the business sense to develop products with commercial value, focus on market and customer to meet customer needs and create value for customers, pragmatic work style to develop the best-selling products that are practical rather than superior, the spirit of hard work to achieve goals, determination and ability to get things done, and simple, efficient, productive code of conduct and style. He also encouraged them to innovate more and achieve more to realize world-class goals.
On the day of the event, in response to the theme of National Science and Technology Workers Day, Yuchai's Support Group organized an exclusive activity for seven sci-tech workers and honored them as role models in Yuchai's R&D field. Chairman Li Hanyang presented each one with a medal and T-shirt for their contribution.
