The automotive industry today is driven by three major themes: environmental protection, energy efficiency, and safety—each of which is closely tied to the engine. The engine not only defines these core aspects but also faces the most stringent emission regulations. With the government’s firm commitment to environmental policies, the implementation of stricter emission standards has become a key focus. Starting from January next year, the National 3 emission standard will be enforced nationwide, marking a significant challenge for engine manufacturers. While moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2 was an improvement, transitioning to Stage 3 represents a true qualitative leap.
It's clear that China's automotive industry still lags behind global leaders, and the main gap lies in engine technology. To close this gap quickly, self-reliance alone is not enough. We must adopt the common phrase in Chinese manufacturing: "climb the ladder." For diesel engine producers, upgrading product technology isn’t just about meeting emissions—it's about achieving low emissions, low fuel consumption, high power output, and superior reliability. Especially with the introduction of National 3 standards, reliability and performance are critical. Meeting these requirements while keeping costs low and ensuring ease of maintenance is essential for success.
China’s full adoption of National 3 standards is both a challenge and an opportunity. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have turned to imported engines to ensure quality and competitiveness. This move helps reduce risk and improve market positioning. The emergence of Dachai Deutz has accelerated the localization of domestic engine production, offering a significant advantage to Chinese automakers.
In my view, Dachai Deutz has strong potential in the future diesel engine market, particularly with its National 3 products. Unlike simple technology imports, Dachai Deutz brings a comprehensive approach—from product design, process management, and production control to service systems—directly from Germany. Their strategy is deeply rooted in market needs and aligns with the national push for stricter emissions. Rather than blindly copying, they’ve adapted German technology to fit China’s conditions, using monomer pump technology to keep costs low and maintenance easy. This sets a solid foundation for future stages like National 4 and 5, something unique in the domestic market.
Our university has long collaborated with Dachai, treating it as a key research partner. Dachai Deutz has created a new research hub for us, providing access to cutting-edge global technology and significantly boosting China’s overall diesel engine capabilities. With Dachai Deutz, it’s no longer just a dream for China to meet European emission standards within a few years.
