China Yuchai strengthens natural gas engine sales in Shaanxi Province’s market

“With the new national energy development program emphasizing natural gas and the increase in fuel prices, demand for our natural gas engines is rising. Shaanxi Province’s central location strongly influences purchasing trends in neighboring vehicle markets, and our success there will help to promote our sales in surrounding regions. We look forward to increasing our production capacity to further extend our leadership from diesel engines into the natural gas market,” said Benny Goh, President of China Yuchai.

After the delivery of the first batch of buses using GYMCL’s natural gas engines to the Bus Industry (Xi’an) Co., Ltd. in Shaanxi in February 2012, a number of province’s passenger transport and bus operators started to purchase GYMCL’s engines for the first time. The company also undertook an active marketing campaign in Shaanxi to publicize its products.

The company’s expanding NGV engine portfolio now includes models such as the YC4D, YC6B, YC6J, YC6L and YC6M ranging from 140hp to 375hp, as well as the YC4G and YC6G models ranging from 180hp to 260hp. Furthermore, Dongfeng trucks powered by YC6M and YC6MK natural gas engines have begun transporting coal from Yulin in the Yuyang District of Shaanxi Province to its capital, Xi’an.
