Let the world's top Italian Ferrari luxury yacht be equipped with China's "power heart"
On May 18, 2024, local time in Italy, Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Weichai Group and Chairman of Faraday Group, presided over an on-site meeting on the coordinated promotion of yacht and power systems at the Milan management headquarters. Experts from both Faraday Group and Weichai Group had efficient and practical exchanges on the comprehensive development of yacht propulsion system cooperation.
Tan Xuguang said
We need to fully tap into the deep industrial and technological value of the strategic restructuring between Weichai Group and Italy's Faraday, and promote all-round and efficient collaboration. Weichai needs to have a deep understanding of the different usage scenarios and working conditions of yachts, starting from customers and following the design logic of yachts, to coordinate and promote the integration of power systems to enhance competitiveness.
I hope that Italian experts from Faraday can come to Weifang to have face-to-face technical exchanges with Weichai engineers, fully utilize Weichai's platform resources, create the core technological advantage of "no one has me", and jointly create greater value for global customers!
To equip the world's top Italian Ferrari luxury yacht with China's "Power Heart" is the original intention of our strategic restructuring of Ferrari, and also our ultimate dream!
Faraday CEO Glass said
Thank you to Weichai Group for providing Faraday Company with a brand new powertrain selection. We fully support the comprehensive entry of Weichai's high-end high-power density engines and silent box generator sets into Faraday's supporting facilities, jointly promoting Faraday's core competitiveness in the global market. We hope that both parties can accelerate the landing of the project and ensure that the first prototype is showcased globally at the 2024 Cannes Yacht Show.
Zhang Quan, Vice Chairman of Weichai Power, and the business leaders in sales, technology, procurement, production, and operation of Faraday Company, as well as relevant technical leaders of Weichai Group, attended the meeting.
