Science and Technology Promotes Weichai Station on the World's Forefront

Weifang, a well-known power city in the country, has created this highly valuable business card. Making Power City “move” and “go” out has also made Weichai an important force at the forefront of the world. These are all due to technological innovation.

In the vigorous reform of state-owned enterprises in 1998, Tan Xuguang, the chairman of Weichai Group who had ten years of experience in technology and overseas markets, took office and took a team to find a technological breakthrough.

As the basic industry that provides the leading power equipment for transportation, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, fishing vessels, and defense equipment, the importance of the internal combustion engine industry is self-evident. However, for a long time, due to lack of key core technologies in our country, we have to use a large number of high-energy-consumption, high-emission, low-performance internal-combustion engine products... The plight is about to be broken, and short boards need to be filled. The Chinese national manufacturing industry in anxieties and eagerness calls for Show the master of innovation sword.

On August 29, 2003, Weichai focused its cooperation on AVL, one of the three largest internal-combustion engine research and development organizations in the world, and set up an R&D center in Austria with AVL.

In March 2005, China's first high-power engine with completely independent intellectual property rights and the emission of State III emissions - "Lanqing" power was born in Weichai, ending the history of foreign "heart" driving Chinese cars. Subsequently, the "Lan-Qing" State IV and V-Series engines and ECU electronic control systems were successfully developed and industrialized, which changed the history of China's heavy-duty trucks without the "Chinese Heart" and made China Manufacturing pass the threshold of the world's advanced engine clubs. Achieved a leap from China to China.

Weichai presided over and participated in the formulation of 65 national and industrial standards, accumulating more than 2,100 granted patents, including more than 320 invention patents. The key technology and industrialization of heavy-duty high-speed diesel engines won the second prize for national science and technology progress. Has been rated as a typical enterprise of independent innovation, national innovative enterprise.

Weichai has become an important force to promote structural adjustment and technology advancement in China's equipment manufacturing industry.

Talents, Global Resources for Our Use

The depth and breadth of basic research determine the driving force and vitality of the country’s original innovation. In the globalization strategy, Weichai first “strengthened” the basic research that brought about core competitiveness.

Cracking the core technology under the control of the people has to have its own “diamond drill” and a group of leading talents and top talents who allow the company’s innovation to “move up”. It is precisely because of having a high-quality, high-level scientific and technological talent team that the Weichai IC Engine Reliability Laboratory has been included in the National Key Laboratory, and has successively undertaken the national “863” Plan Project, National Science and Technology Support Plan Project, and National International Technology. The cooperation project established the domestic advanced internal combustion engine parts and machine reliability research process.

It is precisely because the foundation of basic research has been consolidated and Weichai, with its global structure, has explored a research and development model of “focusing on me and integrating innovation” and “integrating global resources for my own use” and built a synergy. The open, win-win, large-scale R&D system cooperates with world-renowned enterprises and well-known domestic universities to create a R&D team of its own, so that corporate innovation can truly “move up”.

Behind the technological innovation is the support of high-quality talents. Weichai has always insisted on the introduction and training of equal importance. It has created a scientific and technical personnel team with a reasonable structure and excellent quality of 2,000 people. One person has been selected as a national talent project and six people have been selected as national "thousand person plans." Taishan industry leader, 11 people enjoy special government government allowances. Weichai has taken the lead in Europe and the United States and other developed countries, introducing large-scale overseas talents on a large scale and building a global gathering place for engine talent. Accumulatively recruited more than 3,500 outstanding graduates from domestic "985" and "211" well-known colleges and universities and accumulatively introduced more than 300 high-end talents, forming a reasonable echelon of R&D talents. More than 60 parts and components suppliers with R&D capabilities have established a “product R&D community” to independently construct a supplier collaborative design platform system, which has realized the R&D community networked operation and has formed different countries, languages, and different time periods. R&D engineers using different tools collaborate on an innovative "double-invented" model.
