Content Validity:In 2024, facing dual pressures of domestic industry downturn and weakened international market momentum, Shandong Heavy Industry Group exceeded expectations, achieving record highs in key performance indicators. As the core business segment, Weichai continuously launched new products and iterated new technologies, leading the industry in all fields and becoming the internal driving force for Shandong Heavy Industry to move forward against the trend. On December 3rd, at the 2025 Global Partners Conference, Weichai unveiled dozens of new products, showcasing the advantages of its full series and full field products, as well as comprehensive after-market services. The new gas power products WP3NNG, WP8NG, and WP16NG further solidify Weichai's dominant position in the gas power field. These new products incorporate many leading global technologies, especially the WP16NG, setting a new benchmark for gas power products. With a comprehensive product range covering 103kW to 551kW, Weichai's natural gas engines are widely applicable to heavy trucks, light trucks, buses, and construction machinery. Compared to traditional power product launches, Weichai's new energy power battery product launches are more eye-catching. Known for its early layout in the new energy power battery industry, Weichai has been silent for a long time and is now making a sensational debut. At this global event, Weichai introduced high energy density, large capacity blade batteries for light and heavy trucks, B1Y and B2A, for the first time. At the same time, 10 series of construction machinery batteries also made a dazzling appearance, covering 280-765kWh, meeting the power needs of loaders, excavators, mining trucks, and other segmented markets. The launch of Weichai's new energy power battery products sends a clear signal: Weichai's horn for the new energy battlefield has sounded. Not only 'new' but also 'big'. In 2024, Weichai Energy Power performed brightly in the global market, with a nearly 20% market share, firmly in the first echelon of the industry. At the conference, Weichai launched the Boduan 20M55 high-end power, which is tailor-made for data centers, leading the industry's high-power trend with a single machine power of 4550kW. In the field of agricultural equipment power, Weichai released a new series of low-speed harvester hydraulic powertrain products, covering 125-530Ps, meeting the power needs for the harvest of the three major grains and economic crops, injecting new quality productivity into the green and efficient development of agricultural equipment. Weichai also grandly released the WP3.6N hydraulic powertrain, as well as a full series of hybrid powertrain products including the WP14T mining truck hybrid powertrain, committed to providing integrated solutions for construction machinery power for global customers. Beyond hard-core products, there is hard-core service. The two new APPs, 'Weichai Together' and 'Weichai Service', together build a new digital service platform for customers and service stations, marking a major leap in Weichai's service informatization level and setting a new benchmark for industry services. 'Weichai Power has achieved a leading product strength through continuous R&D investment and has driven industry development through product updates and iterations,' said a person in charge of Weichai. From high-horsepower diesel engines to 4.0 gas power, from the explosion of energy power to the comprehensive rise of new energy batteries, to the new upgrade of services, it can be imagined that the Weichai miracle will continue to perform.
