Yuchai's Flywheel Range Extender Technology Gains Caterpillar's Recognition
After three months of on-site testing in 2025, Caterpillar, a global construction machinery giant, officially verified the excellent performance of construction machinery equipped with Yuchai's flywheel range extender system. The test results show that in high-intensity operating scenarios such as mines and construction sites, the flywheel range extender solution developed by Yuchai can reduce the comprehensive operating cost by 23% compared with the pure electric solution, which has significant economic advantages and won high recognition from Caterpillar.
Yuchai's flywheel range extender technology adopts a unique integrated design, which directly integrates the core coil of the generator into the flywheel of the engine, making the power generation system a part of the engine itself instead of an external device, which not only reduces the number of parts by 40%, but also effectively reduces energy loss and system failure rate. This technology solves the prominent pain point of charging difficulty for new energy construction machinery: compared with pure electric mining trucks that take 2 hours to fully charge, mining trucks equipped with Yuchai's flywheel range extender system only need 5 minutes to refuel and can work continuously for a whole day. At present, this technology has been equipped with major domestic and foreign brands such as FAW Jiefang, Dongfeng, XCMG and SANY, and has the largest procurement volume from Middle Eastern oil-producing countries, which is widely used in various harsh operating scenarios.
Cummins Positions Power Generation as a New Growth Engine (Feb 3)On Feb 3, 2026, U.S.-based Cummins officially released its 2030 Strategy, clearly identifying power generation business as the largest future growth point of its traditional business. Against the background of the surging demand for electricity from global AI data centers and the limited capacity of the power grid, Cummins' strategic transformation is in line with the development trend of the internal combustion engine industry, which is gradually shifting its competitive focus to the high-end power generation field.
In its 2030 Strategy, Cummins predicts that the global market size of large-bore diesel generators will reach 12 billion US dollars by 2030, showing broad market prospects. To seize this market opportunity, Cummins will carry out in-depth cooperation with Chinese power enterprises such as Weichai Power, jointly promote technological innovation in the power generation field, and expand the global market layout. Similar to Cummins, many global leading internal combustion engine enterprises such as Caterpillar and MTU have also started their transformation to the power generation field, but they are restricted by factors such as core component production capacity bottlenecks and conservative expansion, resulting in insufficient supply capacity. This will provide more market space for the cooperation between Cummins and Chinese power enterprises, and help both parties achieve win-win development in the global power generation market.
This week, China's truck, construction machinery and engine brands took technological innovation as the core driving force, continuously deepening their global layout through multiple paths including compliance system construction, overseas supply chain upgrades and cross-border strategic cooperation. From Windrose's pure electric heavy-duty trucks breaking into the high-end European market with legal operation qualifications, to XCMG launching the world's largest electric mining equipment in cooperation with Fortescue; from SANY's Dubai Supply Center opening to optimize the Middle East and Africa supply chain, to Yuchai's core technology gaining recognition from international giants, China's equipment manufacturing industry is accelerating its transformation from "product export" to "technology export" and "ecosystem export". In the future, with the continuous improvement of localized operation capabilities and the iteration of innovative technologies, Chinese brands will further enhance their voice and influence in the global high-end equipment market.
