In addition, Weichai Power closely follows the global trend of energy transformation and is proactively laying out new energy solutions such as SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell). SOFC, with its advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, low-carbon environmental protection, and strong fuel adaptability, has become a key technical solution to solve the power supply dilemma in data centers. Weichai Power has fully mastered the core technology of the new generation metal supported SOFC through strategic investment in Xilithi and signing a manufacturing license agreement. Its power generation products have successfully passed the EU CE certification, with a maximum power generation efficiency of over 65% and performance indicators at the international leading level. It has also been put into operation in multiple demonstration projects, fully verifying the technological maturity and commercial feasibility, laying a solid foundation for subsequent industrialization.
It is worth noting that Shandong Heavy Industry Group has officially established electric energy as the seventh core business sector. Weichai Power, as the core carrier of this sector, has established a full scenario electric energy business system. With the continuous acceleration of product commercialization, the growth potential of the power energy business is expected to be accelerated, injecting strong new momentum into the company's long-term stable development.
