China Yuchai International Limited, one of the largest powertrain solution manufacturers through its main operating subsidiary in China, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited, recently announced that Yuchai's Marine and Genset Power subsidiary and Rolls-Royce's Power Systems signed an agreement to enter into a second phase cooperation and development of their 50/50 joint-venture entity, MTU Yuchai Power Company Limited.   

Pursuant to the agreement, MTU Yuchai Power will extend the production and localisation of the mtu Series 4000 for both Power Generation and Oil & Gas segments. The joint venture will also undertake the production and sales of the mtu Series 2000 and the Yuchai branded VC series diesel engines to address the rapid growth in domestic and overseas power generation markets. By adding new products from both parent companies, the joint venture is poised to bolster its manufacturing capabilities and extend new product offerings to meet growing demand.  With its second phase scheduled to commence mass production and operation in the second half of 2025, MTU Yuchai Power is strategically positioned with more product offerings to address new market opportunities.

Since its establishment in 2017, MTU Yuchai Power has produced and sold more than 2,000 units of mtu Series 4000 to customers including data centres and semiconductor fabrication plants. The Series 4000 successfully created a high-end engine market category in China for power generation application.

Mr. Weng Ming Hoh, the President of China Yuchai, commented, "Since day one, MTU Yuchai Power engines stood for remarkable performance and outstanding quality. The mtu Series 4000 and 2000 and the Yuchai VC engines are high-quality engines from both parent companies.  New products and higher supply in the second phase of our joint venture are expected to capture more market opportunities and continue our growth momentum in China and abroad."
