The top three diesel engines in the first half of the year turned out to be

According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to June this year, 22 companies, including statistics, sold 1,83,700 automotive diesel engines, a cumulative increase of 29.46% over the same period. In the same period of last year, the cumulative sales volume of vehicle diesel engines totaled 1,420,300 units, a slight decrease of 0.82% over the same period of 2015. In 2016, the cumulative sales of vehicle diesel engines reached 2,883,700 units, an increase of 12.05% over the same period of last year.

In the first half of this year, multiple factors triggered the continued high temperature in the heavy truck market. First, the rapid development of the logistics industry has led to an increase in the demand for heavy trucks; second, the increase in investment in infrastructure construction has also contributed to the demand for heavy trucks; and third, the mandatory national standard “Outline size, axle load and quality of automobiles, trailers and automobile trains. The introduction of the “Limits” (GB1589-2016), coupled with the tightening of the Super Operation, prompted some models to accelerate elimination of new vehicles.

Thanks to the buoyant heavy-duty truck market in the first half of the year, sales of diesel engines, the heart of heavy-duty trucks, have also been advancing rapidly. Many companies' sales data are gaining popularity. At the same time, steady growth in the light truck and light passenger markets is also a major boost to diesel engine sales growth. In particular, the light-duty truck market, which is gradually picking up this year, provides opportunities for companies with advantages in light-duty diesel engines.

If 2016 is the year that the diesel engine market rebounded, then it is ushered in a big rise. In the first half of this year, the growth rate of the automotive diesel engine market in China has accelerated, ushering in the spring of development. Specifically, of the top 10 sales companies, sales of nine companies achieved double-digit growth year-on-year, which is a “long” trend. After half a year of market adjustment, the ranking of diesel engine companies also changed compared to 2016. Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd., Kunming Yunnei Power Co., Ltd. and Weichai Holding Group Co., Ltd. led the sales and became the top three in the first half of this year. .

1, Yuchai

Accumulated sales: 279,400 units

Year-on-year increase: 78.71%

Yuchai Engine

In the first half of this year, Yuchai's sales increased by 78.71% year-on-year, and the rankings also rose straight from the fourth place of the year last year, winning the championship. Perhaps it is not surprising that Yuchai took the position of the “boss”, but the year-on-year increase far beyond the industry level is worth studying in depth.

First of all, Yuchai took the lead in the deployment of the national five aircraft model. Not only did it perform well in 2016, but also with the mature market layout, it contributed to the overall sales growth in the first half of this year. Secondly, besides the layout of traditional diesel engines, Yuchai has also launched a series of gas engines to further expand its product line, and has improved its competitiveness in energy conservation and emission reduction through “combination boxing”. Once again, Yuchai’s layout in the Sixth National Aircraft Company has also been continuously improved, and it has pioneered the release of four high-end national six-engine products. It is reported that Yuchai's six-engine product plan is divided into light, medium and heavy three platforms, 6 series of 11 models, power coverage 74 ~ 512kW.

2. Weichai

Accumulated sales: 238,600 units

Year-on-year increase: 65.66%

Weichai Engine

After experiencing a decline in sales volume in 2015, Weichai rebounded in 2016, and returned to the top three for vehicle diesel engine sales, demonstrating its strength. In the first half of this year, the data of Weichai was even more dazzling, and the year-on-year increase of 65.66% also far exceeded the industry average. Sales of Weichai in the first half of the year have increased substantially. First, it benefited from the continued recovery in the heavy truck market. Weichai’s competitiveness in the heavy-duty machine sector has enabled it to firmly seize opportunities in the warming period of the market and to deploy high-end power to seize opportunities. Weichai introduced the first 500+ high horsepower high-speed heavy-duty engine WP13 and the first H-platform power engine that reached the highest standard of high-speed and heavy-duty engine B10 life.

Through the pace of structural adjustment of new products, new industries, and new models to enhance the ability to resist cyclical risks, Weichai continues to seek new growth drivers. In addition, Weichai also continued its active exploration of overseas markets. In March this year, Weichai released the WP9H and WP2.3 European V models in the Vietnamese market, becoming the first company to issue Euro V engines in Vietnam.

3, cloud power

Accumulated sales: 185,500 units

Year-on-year increase: 20.82%

Yunnei Engine

In 2016, Yunnei Power won the championship in both sales volume and year-on-year growth. In the first half of this year, the company still maintained a double-digit growth due to the double growth in the sales of automotive and non-road products. With the upgrade of the diesel engine industry emission regulations, Yunnei Dynamics has increased product structure adjustments, actively adapting to market changes, and successfully increasing product sales. Yunnei Power and German FEV Co., Ltd. have developed two core platform products D16, D19 and D25 and D30 that meet the national IV and the National V and have Euro VI emission standards, and based on the traditional 490, 4100 and 4102 series products, The YN series products that meet the national five emission standards have been upgraded and developed, and new DEV series products have been introduced. The emissions can meet the national and national six emission standards. Among them, Yunnei Non-road series products have been able to meet the non-road diesel engine T3, T4 phase requirements.
