In the first four months of this year, Yuchai's 6A series engines made a strong impact across multiple sectors, including automotive, construction machinery, marine equipment, agricultural machinery, and power generation. The cumulative sales volume reached a new record, surging by 80% compared to the same period last year. Notably, the demand for truck engines within the 6A series has doubled year-on-year, reflecting growing market confidence.
Launched in May 2004, the Yuchai 6A engine was specifically designed for domestic light trucks and economical 9- to 11-meter passenger cars. Its success stems from exceptional performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Over the past two years, more than 20,000 units have been sold, with the product proving its worth through rigorous user and market testing. Compared to similar engines, the 6A offers more mature technology, better fuel efficiency, and greater reliability.
The 6A series includes three power variants: 177kW, 191kW, and 206kW, with maximum torque values of 860N·m, 950N·m, and 1100N·m respectively. These specifications make it a versatile choice for various applications.
Industry experts highlight that the Yuchai 6A holds a significant competitive edge. Developed jointly by Yuchai, German FEV Corporation, and Japanese YAMAHA Corporation, the engine incorporates advanced technologies such as turbocharging with intercooling, wet cylinder liners, forced cooling pistons, and high-top ring cylinder water jacket cooling. Additional features include crankcase oil and gas pressure balance, built-in oil coolers, three-cylinder covers, and an integrated oil pump drive. The design follows YAMAHA’s strict quality control procedures, ensuring top-tier performance, economy, and reliability. It comes with a warranty of 200,000 kilometers (or 18 months).
Many users prefer wet cylinder engines over dry ones due to lower maintenance costs, faster repair times, and easier servicing. Unlike dry cylinder designs, which often require full engine disassembly, wet cylinder engines allow for on-site repairs without complete removal. This makes them more practical for China’s diverse operating conditions.
Yuchai ensures customer satisfaction with ample spare parts inventory and a comprehensive service network. The 6A series is widely used in commercial vehicles, buses, construction, marine, and agricultural equipment. Major partners include Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, Dongfeng Liuqi, Chongqing Hong Rock, Anhui Valin, and Beijing Auman for trucks, while Zhengzhou Yutong, Xiamen Golden Dragon, and others use it in passenger cars. With a large installed base, the 6A enjoys fast accessory turnover, lower launch costs, and high accessory penetration.
Yuchai operates nearly 1,200 service stations nationwide, providing reliable and efficient after-sales support. This extensive coverage ensures quick maintenance and high user satisfaction. As a result, the 6A has become a popular choice among operators.
Since March this year, heavy trucks equipped with Yuchai 6A engines have faced shortages, highlighting the product's strong market demand. In 2007, Yuchai was honored with the "China Brand Annual Award No.1" in the internal combustion engine category, further reinforcing its reputation in the industry.
