Yuchai YC6MK Heavy-Duty Engines Used in China-Russia International Road
On May 18, 2018, China-Russia
International Road Transport Trial Operation and China's TIR Transport
Launching Ceremony was held in Dalian, Liaoning. Therefore, vehicles officially
began to run along the longest Chinese international road transport line
“Dalian - Novosibirsk”. During this trial operation, a total of 8 vehicles (2
buses, 6 trucks) were sent to Novosibirsk, among which 2 buses are powered by
Yuchai YC6MK heavy-duty engines. Thus, Chinese "core" technology that
are used for making "made in China" products again walks on the
international stage and attracts great attention.
New departure with new “Core”
Technology
Liu Xiaoming, deputy director of
Ministry of Transport of the PRC, pointed out in his speech that “This event
witnessed the opening operation of the international road transportation route
between Dalian, China and Novosibirsk, Russia. This is the longest bilateral
international transportation that connects the largest number of cities and
places. After China became a member of Transport International Router (TIR),
this was the first time that China launched international transportation with
the certification document of TIR, which marked a new milestone.
It was reported that the line was
confirmed as “Dalian - Songyuan - Hulun Buir - Chita - Ulan-Ude - Irkutsk -
Tulum -Krasnoyarsk - Kемерово - Novosibirsk. The whole journey is as long as
about 5500 kilometers, and it passes through 10 cities in 9 days. Finally, it
will arrive in Novosibirsk on May 26th. Such a long journey is definitely a
huge burden for vehicle engine.
First of all, to transport a long
distance of 5500 kilometers, the vehicle must operate for long time with high
load, which request that the engine have to be efficient, stable and reliable.
Secondly, on the route, the vehicles drive through a great number of cities
including 7 Russian cities and stay for 6 days beyond China. The geography
condition in Russian is complex and different terrain demand high engine
performance. Besides, such a long journey requires that the vehicle should
provide comfortable driving experience.
Facing such a series of harsh
challenges, Pei Haijun, general manager of Yuchai Sales Company, commented that
“The high technical threshold of Yuchai engine makes it a perfect match for
this kind of transportation”. His confidence also indicated that Yuchai
products are produced with advanced technology and Yuchai company is very
confident about this.
In other words, the “core”
technology of Yuchai engine provide guarantee for high quality and performance.
Thus, powering by such advanced engine, China send its first batches of
vehicles on the longest international road route officially and embarked on a
new journey of transportation development.
Developing “Core” engine
technology for painting a name card of “Made in China”
On The BFA Annual Conference
2018, it was again put forward the issue of “Globalization and the Belt and
Road Strategy”. The trial operation of China-Russia International Road
Transportation is one initiative guided by the “The Belt and Road” strategy,
through which docking with members of Eurasian Economic Union’s (EEU) can be
promoted. This step is vital to expanding bilateral cooperation in the field of
trade and transportation and creating a new pattern of regional economy
development.
"The Belt and Road
Initiative" has been put forward for five years. During this period,
outstanding Chinese manufacturing enterprises grasped the opportunity to
vigorously expand overseas markets, among which Yuchai harvested successfully
in its overseas market by its product quality and staff devotion. Recent years
witnessed that Yuchai locked all the big export orders of China bus engines in
its hands.
For example, Yuchai products
entered Russian market quite early. In May 2017, Yuchai engines YC6L and YC6GN
that both meet Euro V Emission Standards, were exported to Russia. Since then,
Chinese bus companies have successfully signed contracts with Russia to export
200 buses with a total value of more than 100 million yuan. Equipped in all the
vehicles are Yuchai engines.
In addition to the Russian
market, a number of Yuchai engines are operated in Saudi Arabia, Burma and many
other countries. Among them, the current Saudi market soaked up more than
20,000 units. In 2017, Burma purchased about 8000 Yuchai engines. Yuchai plans
to export 9000 engines this year, increasing at about 10%.
As of today, the company has set
up 17 offices and 162 service centers overseas. 392,000 of its engines have
been sold to more than 170 countries in all of the five continents. Its
extensive service network overseas laid a solid foundation for Yuchai to
perform well in the global market. Therefore, along the trial operation route
of China-Russia International Road Transportation, Yuchai service stations
scattering alone the line can provide service and maintenance for the vehicles.
Yuchai engine is not only used in the field of buses, trucks, marine, etc, also used in the field of power generation like diesel generator.
