Fighting in Q4,
Weichai has expedited the application of its high-end marine engine products of the M series and WH series, and good news from the market came one after another, boosting the energy conservation, emission reduction of ships and the development of green shipping.
The Weichai WH20 micro-injection ignition gas engine has contributed to the high-quality development of green shipping in the Yangtze River Basin.
Recently, Changhang Group and Weichai Group jointly convened a training and exchange meeting on the WH20 micro-injection ignition LNG engine in Chongqing. The two sides will keep working together to promote technological innovation and market application in the field of clean energy ship engine, and contribute to the sustainable development of the Yangtze River shipping industry.
As the only single-fuel gas engine that has passed CCS accreditation and matches 10,000-ton-level ships on the Yangtze River, the WH20 micro-injection ignition LNG engine has been verified on real ships. It is of reliable quality, with a total running time of over 11,000 hours. Relative to traditional fuel engines, the WH20 micro-injection ignition LNG engine helps save more than 20% of fuel costs, making it win high recognition from customers.
