Weichai's Second-Generation Mining Power Makes a Full Matrix Assault
Reshaping the New Benchmark for China's Mining Power
At the event, Weichai officially launched its second-generation mining power products. The M-series large-bore mining products, suitable for mining excavators and rigid mining trucks, and the H/T series products, suitable for mining excavators and wide-body vehicles, brought a technological feast to the attendees and the mining industry.
The released M-series large-bore mining products include three major platforms: M25, M33, and M55. They encompass 10 series, with displacements ranging from 19.6L to 87.5L and power ranging from 522kW to 2800kW. They are suitable for mainstream large-scale mining equipment such as 55-ton to 400-ton rigid mining trucks, 90-ton to 400-ton mining excavators, and 600-horsepower to 1000-horsepower mining bulldozers. The three platform products have competitive advantages such as 5000-meter plateau adaptability, 5% lower comprehensive fuel consumption than competing products, a 20,000-hour overhaul cycle, and adaptability to various fuels. Currently, they have been equipped with over 1700 operating vehicles, with a total operating time exceeding 24,000 hours.
The H/T series features three star products: WP14T, WP15H, and WP17T, meeting the needs of 95-ton to 160-ton wide-body dump trucks and 60-ton to 100-ton excavators. This series leverages the world's only engine platform that breaks through 53.09% high thermal efficiency. It uses high-efficiency combustion technology, high-efficiency turbocharger matching technology, and friction loss reduction technology. The comprehensive fuel consumption is more than 10% lower than competing products. Using proprietary in-cylinder high-temperature resistant materials, dust-resistant special design, and high-rigidity structural component design, the reliability is high, easily handling the high-load operation requirements of the equipment. The H/T series has a 100% commonality rate of peripheral and maintenance parts, sufficient spare parts, and convenient replacement. Relying on the mining equipment real-time online monitoring system in the Weichai Tongxing APP, it realizes safety warnings and maintenance reminders for mining equipment, improving the operating efficiency of mining equipment.
At the event, Weichai also released WP17T methanol, WP16NG, and WP14T extended-range engines. These products are Weichai's solutions for smart green mining, integrating Weichai's advanced diesel engine technology and high-efficiency electric drive technology. The core three major components improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. At the same time, they demonstrate strong fuel flexibility and economy, meeting the needs of different application scenarios and promoting the green transformation of mining power. It is worth mentioning that the WP17T methanol engine is a dedicated methanol engine for wide-body dump trucks, meticulously crafted by Weichai after 10 years of research and development with a cumulative R&D investment of 120 million yuan. During this period, more than 10 industry problems such as low-temperature starting, corrosion, oil emulsification, and pre-ignition detonation were solved, and more than 120 patents were applied for.
With the launch of the second-generation mining products, Weichai will inject new power into the mining industry with superior product performance, promoting technological upgrades and green development throughout the industry.
Breaking the Shackles of Technological Monopoly
Equipping Large Mining Equipment with a “Chinese Heart”
As a leading enterprise in China's equipment manufacturing industry, Weichai has been deeply involved in the internal combustion engine industry for nearly 80 years, accumulating profound technical foundation in the field of engine research and manufacturing, and forming a full-series, full-field engine product layout with the most comprehensive power and widest product coverage globally. In the engineering machinery field, Weichai maintains the leading domestic market share. Among them, Weichai has consistently maintained a market share of over 80% in the wide-body dump truck market, providing powerful Chinese power for mining operations.
It is understood that In 2005, Weichai launched the first WD618 engine for wide-body dump trucks, creating the first wide-body dump truck powertrain with Chinese characteristics. Due to the complex mining environment and high operating intensity, in 2016, Weichai's independently developed WP13G 530-horsepower engine, after rigorous market testing, gained widespread customer recognition. It is now equipped with all mainstream mainframe brands, and the market inventory has exceeded 100,000 units.
In recent years, China's mining transportation has increasingly urgent needs for large-scale equipment and high transportation efficiency. The tonnage of wide-body dump trucks has shifted from 105 tons to a demand for 130 tons, increasing the demand for engine power by 20% to 30%. To meet customer needs, Weichai has launched the H+T new generation of products, ensuring high attendance rates with high reliability and long life, stronger adaptability in extreme environments, and higher convenience in maintenance and repair, becoming another weapon for Weichai to maintain its traditional leading edge.
For a long time, most of the core components of large domestic mining equipment have relied on imports, especially in high-profit areas such as large mining excavators and rigid mining trucks. The equipment operates for long periods, the operating environment is harsh, and the application conditions are complex, making engine and maintenance costs very expensive and monopolized by a few overseas brands.
Weichai fully leverages the industrial synergy with the French company Baudouin to develop a new generation of M-series high-end high-speed large-bore engine products, with reliability, power, and economy indicators reaching the international first-class level. In 2017, Weichai successfully adapted the first-generation M-series mining power to mining equipment and subsequently mass-produced it for overseas mining areas, winning high customer recognition and breaking the foreign technology monopoly on large-tonnage mining equipment engines, demonstrating Weichai's dominant position in the field of domestic high-speed, high-horsepower mining power products.
With the national The advancement of "dual carbon" goals and the accelerated evolution of green and intelligent transformation in the mining industry have led Weichai to deploy a variety of energy sources, including traditional diesel power, hybrid mining truck power, methanol engines, pure electric power, and hydrogen internal combustion engines, providing the engineering machinery industry with independent and controllable green solutions from China.
