The new company will serve as China's first developer and supplier of environmentally friendly, high-power, new fuel engines for heavy-duty vehicles and public transport busses. Westport Innovation Inc. is one of the leading companies in the gas-engine industry. It offers high-pressure, direct-injection technology especially for use in high-power gas engines with a displacement of 10 liters or more. Weichai Power, on the other hand, has a large share of the high-power engine market.

Licensing of technology

Under the agreement, AMW plans to build a new axle plant with an annual production capacity of 120,000 units, and Shaanxi Hande Axle will provide AMW with support in the area of plant designing and production process engineering. Shaanxi Hande Axle will also license to AMW axle technology that caters to the Indian market. AMW will initially import completely build-up (CBU) axle units, and later shift to assembling semi knockdown kits (SKD) and CKD (completely knockdown) units, aiming to manufacture all parts in India in the future. AMW is a subsidiary of the Essar Group of India, manufacturing heavy-duty commercial vehicles and automotive components. AMW has also launched development activities on light-duty commercial vehicles.


Entering 12-liter engine market
- In October 2007, Weichai Power Co., Ltd. rolled off and shipped its 10,000th WD12 engine at its new plant. The Company achieved its annual target to produce and sell 10,000 WD12 engines only a year after the production launch in October last year. The company has already sold 10,000 WD12 engines. The first 12-liter engine model made in China has successfully entered the large engine (over 12-liter and 380-horsepower) market in China, which had virtually been dominated by foreign brands.The company is expecting to win program business for 30,000 units next year and 50,000 in 2009.

R&D structure

Recent developments
Developing new engines compliant with China lV emissions regulations
- Weichai Power Co., Ltd., which is mass-producing its proprietary Landking lll engine compliant with the China lll emissions standards, developed a more advanced engine that complies with the even stricter China lV standards in December 2007. The new engine is based on the Landking lll WP12 platform.


Developing powertrain systems for commercial vehicles
- In December 2007, the company announced that it successfully developed China's first powertrain systems for use in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. By integrating the technology of Shaanxi Fast Gear Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Hande Axle Co., Ltd., the Group spent 6 months and more than 20 million yuan to complete the new powertrain technology. Having acquired Torch Automobile Group Co., Ltd., a parent of Shaanxi Fast Gear and Shaanxi Hande Axle, in April 2007, the Company, which is known as a diesel engine supplier, has expanded its scope of business as a comprehensive manufacturer of automotive powertrain systems.
