Standing at the moment of entering 2026, the global industrial equipment market is undergoing a complex cyclical adjustment phase. Although the global hydraulic power market is steadily climbing, beneath the surface of moderate growth lies a fierce stock game and structural differentiation. In mature markets in Europe and America, customers are no longer simply paying for the physical power of "iron and oil", but are more concerned with the full lifecycle cost and asset return rate. This forces suppliers to transition from selling products to selling efficiency.

In emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Latin America, the dividends of infrastructure construction remain strong. Weichai's explosive growth of over 50% in these strategic markets validates the enormous commercial potential of cost equalization output of high-end technology. At the 2026 Weichai Group Business Conference, Weichai Hydraulic Power, driven by Germany's top technology genes and China's ultimate cost advantage, achieved a breakthrough in overseas business revenue, high-end customers, and strategic markets by 2025, successfully breaking through the decades old market iron curtain of international giants.

The growth password of dual core resonance

The core competitiveness of Weichai Hydraulic Power comes from its global dual core architecture that has been polished for more than ten years. This architecture is more mature in the strategic deployment of the 2026 Business Conference. On one end, Weichai Hydraulic Power has a century long technological accumulation originating from Germany - through the acquisition and integration of global hydraulic high-pressure technology pioneers, Weichai Hydraulic Power not only inherits the essence of 121 years of technology, but also directly covers a mature sales and service network in more than 50 countries around the world, laying a solid foundation for high-end market layout.

At the other end is the local innovation highland rooted in Weifang. Since the strategic restructuring in 2012, German production process and quality control standards have been achieved, and Weichai Group's full industrial chain resources in the fields of engine, electronic control and new energy have been further integrated, forming a differentiated advantage of "German technology endorsement+China's efficiency empowerment".

2025 will be the explosive year for Weichai Hydraulic Power's overseas strategy: overseas revenue will increase significantly year-on-year, with both domestic hydraulic exports and group exports growing at a rate of over 35%. Our dual core architecture has been upgraded from technology introduction to collaborative co creation, "said the person in charge of Weichai Hydraulic at the Hydraulic Power Branch.

At present, the joint research and development teams of China and Germany have retained the rigor of high-pressure hydraulic technology, while relying on the rapid response capability of local research and development to accurately match the diverse needs of the global market - optimizing power density for the trend of large-scale construction machinery and upgrading energy-saving solutions to meet the high-end needs of agricultural equipment. This "global wisdom+local adaptation" model has become the core confidence for Weichai Hydraulic Power to participate in international competition.

The value transition from hydraulic components to system solutions

Among the more than 150 product displays at this business conference, Weichai Hydraulic Power's "Component System Solution" full chain product matrix is particularly eye-catching. At the core component level, the CPV series closed main hydraulic pump, which will be supplied in bulk in 2025, continues to lead the way, winning market favor with its dual advantages of structural simplification and cost optimization; Key progress has been made in tackling bottleneck products such as radial piston motors and bus control valves for high-end breakthroughs, and large-scale applications are about to be achieved.

In the field of system integration, Weichai Hydraulic Power is more closely following the trend of electrification and intelligence in the industry to achieve a leapfrog upgrade. Successfully developed specialized motor pump products for electric equipment to meet the demand for new energy equipment; Targeting emerging scenarios such as electric tractors, we are fully committed to promoting the research and development of ECVT powertrains and seizing the opportunity in new energy hydraulic matching.

Our value lies not only in the product itself, but also in the optimization of efficiency throughout its entire lifecycle. "As an example, the head of Weichai Hydraulic Application Technology stated that through the collaborative calibration of hydraulic power systems and engines, significant fuel economy improvements have been achieved for agricultural machinery customers. The new generation of hydraulic valves equipped with bus control technology can achieve precise control of equipment operation status, meeting the intelligent needs of high-end equipment.

Weichai Hydraulic's Global Market Strategy

Choosing to anchor the high-end track with technological homogeneity, and creating core product advantages, key indicators such as pressure level, response speed, stability, etc. of its core products have reached the international leading level, which is Weichai Hydraulic Power's market positioning.

More importantly, Weichai Hydraulic Power has not stopped at technology introduction, but has completed the deep collaborative development of hydraulic systems, engines, and electronic control modules based on the application scenarios of domestic OEMs, forming an integrated solution that is more suitable for complex working conditions. This technological advantage has enabled Weichai Hydraulic Power to successfully win matching orders from international leading construction machinery and agricultural machinery enterprises.

The mature Chinese manufacturing system has built an difficult to replicate cost competition barrier for Weichai Hydraulic Power. The Weifang production base has built intelligent production lines in accordance with German standards, achieving large-scale and high-quality manufacturing of core components. This not only ensures consistency in product quality, but also highlights cost competitive advantages through localized supply chains.

This "German technology+Chinese intelligent manufacturing" model enables Weichai Hydraulic Power to meet high-end demands in the international market competition with product performance comparable to international giants, while also seizing market share with more cost-effective pricing, forming a unique competitive advantage.

The applause of Weichai Group's business conference has not faded away. Weichai Hydraulic Power has already embarked on a new journey with the confidence of technological breakthrough and the blueprint of global layout. From breaking the market iron curtain of international giants to building a differentiated advantage of "German technology+Chinese intelligent manufacturing", from a single hydraulic component supplier to a full chain system solution service provider, every step taken by Weichai Hydraulic Power is a vivid footnote to China's equipment manufacturing climbing to the high end of the global value chain.

In the future, with the deep integration of intelligent hydraulic technology and new energy scenarios, Weichai Hydraulic Power will surely write more brilliant chapters belonging to China's intelligent manufacturing on the world industrial stage with stronger technological discourse power and a more complete global service network.Editor/Cheng Liting
