On November 8, the inauguration ceremony for the Yuchai Wuxi R&D Center was held in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, marking the near completion of Yuchai’s new energy power industry layout in East China. Attendees included Lin He, Executive Vice President of the Institute of Carbon Neutral Power Technology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Deng Yonghan, Senior Vice President of Powertrain R&D at Bosch; and Wu Qiwei, President of Yuchai Co., Ltd.
The establishment of the Wuxi R&D Center represents a significant step in Yuchai’s strategy of dual-track development, focusing on both traditional and new energy power, as well as the domestic and international markets. This move is a crucial measure to implement the “Completeness, Innovation, and Strength” development guidelines. The new center will attract top industry talent, establish Yuchai as a technology innovation hub, tackle major scientific and technological challenges, and advance Yuchai’s pivotal mission of achieving breakthroughs in new energy power.
Reportedly, the Wuxi R&D Center is Yuchai’s fourth major research center after those in Yulin, Nanning, and Europe. It not only serves as a key R&D base in East China but also as an essential platform for cooperation with enterprises, universities, and research institutions. The center primarily focuses on developing low-carbon and zero-carbon fuel internal combustion power, hydrogen fuel cells, and water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment to provide global customers with green, efficient, and intelligent power products. Currently, the Wuxi R&D Center has already established preliminary capabilities in carbon-neutral power system product development, control and big data algorithms, CAE simulation, fuel cell system development, and electrolyzer product development.
Looking ahead, the Yuchai Wuxi R&D Center will prioritize solving critical scientific and technological challenges in the industry, fully integrate cutting-edge global innovation resources, and provide users with more efficient, reliable, and green low-carbon products. This initiative will propel Yuchai forward in the new energy power sector, contributing significantly to the realization of China’s “dual-carbon” goals and the vision of becoming a strong nation in science and technology.
