  4. Electric driving power technology,
  5. Advanced engine development,
  6. Fuel cell power system research and development
  7. Control strategy development,
  8. Vehicle power matching

And other eight core technical capabilities enable and maintain the ability to continuously create and offer value for customers, who will be fully satisfied with short-term and medium- and long-term market demand.

At the scene of the event, the reporter saw Yuchai’s integrated engine power generation powertrain (IE-Power). Liu Gang told reporters that the system achieves a completely integrated design of the motor and engine. Highly integrated, it can achieve the driving charging function to increase the vehicle’s range. With the engine’s technical feature, to achieve the efficient coupling of the engine and the motor, the new energy power is 20% more efficient than the standard powertrain configuration. The system is suitable for multi-purpose vehicles such as tractors, RTGs, special trucks, dump trucks, city busses, mobile power generators, etc..

For the field of hydrogen fuel cells, Yuchai also has a layout. “Yuchai Hydrogen Fuel Cell System” will be launched in 2020. “YCHB-35K/132/248-10” is Yuchai’s first-generation metal bipolar plate proton exchange membrane fuel cell, is a highly integrated, efficient and non-emission commercial vehicle power product, suitable for urban buses, trucks, intercity buses and other models.
