Recently, Shandong Heavy Industry Group officially announced at the 2026 annual work conference that it has listed electric power energy as the seventh largest business sector of the group, marking that this business has risen to a strategic core level. As the core carrier of this business segment, Weichai Power accelerates the rapid rise of the power energy sector and cultivates new strategic growth poles for the group's high-quality development through continuous breakthroughs in high-end large bore power generation, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and other fields.

Provide differentiated solutions for global customers

Large bore engines have extremely high technological barriers and have long been monopolized by international giants. Weichai Power has keenly perceived the enormous potential of the global data center market, made decisive decisions, laid out ahead, and formed a top-notch professional team. With more than ten years of dedicated research and development, it has achieved a disruptive breakthrough from 0 to 1. It has successively launched M33 and M55 new platform large bore high-speed engines, continuously upgraded its product line and structure, and sought "new quality" momentum for the development of traditional industries, opening up a second growth curve.

Weichai Power has launched a series of personalized customization solutions to meet the special needs of big data centers: the maximum power of the product can reach 5 megawatts, and the power coverage range is globally leading, meeting the needs of different customers; Redundant start-up design ensures fast start-up, high reliability, and safeguards the power safety of data centers; To improve space utilization efficiency, develop compact generator sets that significantly reduce footprint without sacrificing performance; In response to the requirements for operational stability, an intelligent management system is equipped to achieve remote monitoring, fault warning, and automatic start stop functions, significantly improving the efficiency and security of data center operation and maintenance, and winning recognition from high-end market customers worldwide.

In the field of new energy, Weichai Power has fully mastered the key core technologies of SOFC, and multiple demonstration projects have been successfully operated. Weichai's first 100kW SOFC power generation product has achieved a breakthrough in commercial application at Weifang Energy Group; The 100kW SOFC power generation product has been successfully delivered to State Power Investment Corporation, becoming the first public health service scenario SOFC distributed energy supply project in China. As of now, the demonstration project has accumulated nearly 70000 hours of operation.

At present, Weichai PowerSOFC power generation system has successfully passed the EU CE certification, with a net power generation efficiency of over 60%. Particularly outstanding is its combined heat and power efficiency of 92.55%, breaking the global record. In 2024, it won the top ten scientific and technological innovation achievements in Shandong Province and the silver award in the National Machinery Industry Design Innovation Competition.

In November 2025, Weichai Power signed a manufacturing license agreement with Xilithi to establish battery and stack production lines for the fixed power generation market. The products will provide electricity for scenarios such as AI data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial parks, injecting "new momentum" into the growth of the sector.

Stably ranked among the top three in the world and won customer likes

With its unique product and service portfolio advantages, Weichai Power has shone in the global power generation market. By 2025, Weichai's global sales of power generation products will exceed 100000 units, ranking among the top three in the world.

In Europe, with Weichai Power's 1MW power generation product, a leasing power generation project has completed commissioning work and delivered in bulk to customers for operation. The customer of this project will purchase a batch of 1MW Boduan 12M33 engines and 500kW 6M33 engines, which meet the Euro V emission standards. The customer stated, "Years of cooperation have proven that Weichai Power's Boduan products have excellent environmental protection and stable power output performance advantages, providing reliable guarantees for the smooth progress of the project. ”

In the Americas, a Weichai Power containerized gas generator set was used to successfully complete the commissioning work of a power station project, and was successfully delivered to customers for operation. In response to the local natural environment of -30 ℃ to 28 ℃ and customer needs, Weichai has deeply integrated facilities such as generator sets, low-voltage distribution, and control systems. Under harsh working conditions such as low temperature and large temperature differences, the generator sets still maintain good operating conditions. Currently, they have been running stably for more than 4200 hours and have won customer recognition with their performance advantages of "high thermal efficiency, high reliability, and low gas consumption".

At a data center project site in Malaysia, Weichai Power's engineering team is working hard to install and debug. As a key market for Weichai in Southeast Asia, Malaysia's data center customers have almost stringent requirements for unit stability and commissioning efficiency. In addition, the high temperature and humidity climate environment adds more challenges to the commissioning work.

From inspecting fuel components to testing wiring harness communication, from checking sensor status to tracing signal transmission links, every link is repeatedly confirmed by Weichai's engineering team, fearing any clues may be missed. From evening to early morning, team members are not afraid of hot and humid environments, take turns to play, and always maintain a high level of focus. Choosing Weichai Power is not only because of its excellent product quality, but also because its team provides us with thoughtful and comprehensive full lifecycle service guarantees, making us more at ease and worry free. ”This is the high recognition of Weichai's engineering team by customers, and it is also the core password and confidence for Weichai's rapid rise.

From catching up to mastering core technologies, Shandong Heavy Industry Weichai Power quickly established a power and energy business industry chain ecosystem that adapts to high-end global customers, providing more efficient and reliable one-stop power solutions and full lifecycle service support for global customers, and reshaping the global energy and power competition pattern with hard core strength.Editor/Bian Wenjun
