On the morning of May 10th, Zhang Zhihong, deputy director of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology who visited Yuchai, highly praised Yuchai’s hybrid R&D work and expressed his desire to actively support Yuchai’s hybrid power system to market quickly.

Along with Zhang Zhihong, Zhang Jinhua, deputy head of the Project Experts Group of the China National Automotive Technology and Research Center, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the “863 Program” of the Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicles Major Projects Department, and the Expert Group of the New Energy Vehicle Project Group, Shanghai Electric Power Co., Ltd. Miya Jun, Chairman of Drive Co., Ltd. Li Tiansheng, Yu Jie, Shen Jie, Zhuo Bin and other company leaders warmly received their guests.

Zhang Zhihong said that Yuchai’s energy-saving and emission-reduction work is ahead of the industry, and he always regards hybrid R&D as the direction of strategic development. He explains that Yuchai attaches importance to innovation and truly puts independent innovation and masters the core technology in a very important position. I was very excited after Yuchai saw it.

At the beginning of 2006, Yuchai started the diesel hybrid research project. In August 2007, the diesel hybrid research project with complete independent intellectual property rights and cooperation between Yuchai and Shanghai Jiaotong University passed the acceptance and became the first domestic parallel single-axis (ISG). ) The results of the technical city bus powertrain. In May 2008, Yuchai's first diesel engine was put into use. Yuchai City passenger vehicle hybrid power is based on diesel engine and motor together as the driving force of the vehicle. When accelerating, the motor is used as the power source, and the auxiliary engine maintains strong dynamics; at deceleration, the motor functions as a generator to recover the braking energy. This power adopts the ISG technology route and has reached the international frontier level. The four-cylinder engine achieves the acceleration effect of the six-cylinder engine, and at the same time, the fuel consumption under urban conditions is reduced by about 20%. At present, new energy vehicles are the key research and development direction of China. General Secretary Hu Jintao also made important instructions on the development of new energy vehicles during the two sessions in 2009. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Science and Technology have started pilot projects for energy-saving and new energy vehicles in 13 cities since March. The goal is to use new energy vehicles in public transport systems in 13 cities or more within 6 to 3 years to reach 6 10,000 cars.

Zhang Zhihong believes that in the current situation, the development of the Yuchai hybrid power system is of great significance to the promotion of new energy vehicles in China. The hybrid power system will occupy a very important market in the future. We hope Yuchai will continue to do research and development. Work, through the guarantee of technology and reliability, turns this potential market into a reality. Zhang Zhihong said that he will actively support Yuchai and jointly bring rapid development results to the market.
