Injecting the Chinese Heart into mining equipment
The historic moment of China's mining power industry was redefined by Weichai Power in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. On May 9th, under the spotlight of Weichai's second-generation mining power new product launch event, a resounding declaration was made - China Power has the confidence to compete on the same stage as international giants
This press conference with the theme of Breaking through Walls and Reshaping not only marks Weichai's successful breakthrough of the international monopoly on key core technologies for large-scale mining equipment, but also presses the "acceleration button" for independent and controllable substitution of mining power.
Breaking through: From neck binding to full autonomy
For a long time, the core power of large-scale mining equipment in China has relied on imports, and the high procurement and maintenance costs, as well as the dilemma of technology being controlled by others, have become shackles on the development of the industry. As a leader in China's equipment manufacturing industry, Weichai has challenged international monopolies with nearly 80 years of internal combustion engine technology accumulation. From the debut of the first wide body dump truck engine WD618 in 2005 to the market dominance of the WP13G530 horsepower model in 2016, the installed capacity exceeded 100,000 units in ten years; Now, with the launch of the second generation mining power full matrix, Weichai has been actively researching and developing for 20 years, achieving full autonomous control from underlying code to core technology. Its ECU controller is completely independently developed, becoming the only fully autonomous controller enterprise in China, completely ending the era of bottleneck in mining power.

Drawing Sword: Hardcore Technology Defining a New Global Benchmark
The second generation mining power released this time, with "high reliability, low fuel consumption, and full scenario" as its core competitiveness, hits the pain points of the mining industry.
The three major platforms of the M series (M25, M33, M55) cover a displacement of 19.6-87.5L, with a power span of 522-2800kW, suitable for 55-400t mining trucks, excavators and other equipment. The comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.00% lower than competitors, and the overhaul cycle is as long as 20000h. The hard core performance of not reducing power at 3000m plateau and starting normally at -55 ℃ extreme cold has redefined the global mining power standard.
The H/T series star products rely on the world's only engine platform that breaks through 53.09% thermal efficiency, reducing fuel consumption by another 10.00% compared to competitors. The high temperature resistance and dust resistance design further enhance reliability to new heights.
More noteworthy is that Weichai has taken the lead in laying out diversified energy power, launching extended range dedicated engines such as WP17T methanol, WP16NG, and WP14T, promoting the green transformation of mines with a full scenario power matrix. Among them, the WP17T methanol engine took 10 years of research and development, overcoming more than 10 industry challenges such as low-temperature starting and corrosion, becoming the only methanol power solution in the world that can meet the long-term trouble free operation of wide body vehicles.

Innovation: From Solving Problems to Creating Value
In addition to technological breakthroughs, Weichai has reshaped industry standards with a fast, efficient, and cost-effective service system. 90 global central warehouses, 3 billion yuan spare parts reserves, and 72 hour rapid delivery of spare parts ensure that mining equipment does not stop working; More than 5300 service stations and a team of 100 experts stationed in the mine provide 24-hour support; The three guarantee period is the longest in the industry and the most cost-effective throughout the entire lifecycle, allowing customers to save time, worry, and money, bringing high value, high returns, and full lifecycle protection to customers.

Future: Global Declaration of China Power
Weichai's breakthrough is not only a technological leap, but also a deep empowerment of the global mining industry by Chinese wisdom.
With the promotion of the national "dual carbon" target, Weichai has laid out multiple power paths such as hybrid, pure electric, and hydrogen energy, providing a Chinese solution for smart mines. This press conference is not only a milestone in the rise of domestic mining power, but also a declaration to the world that China Power is reshaping global competition rules with independent and controllable core technologies.
From breaking monopolies to leading change, Weichai has proven with its strength that the Chinese heart of mining equipment beats strongly and confidently. In the future, this' heart 'will continue to inject surging power into global mines and write a new chapter in Chinese manufacturing.
