Weichai helps

The "Qingdao Star" cruise ship, 44 meters long and 10 meters wide, is a luxury cruise ship made of fiberglass. It has three decks. The main deck has a performance hall with restrooms and a kitchen. The second deck has a business leisure area and VIP sea-view business rooms. The third deck is the Flybridge sea-view observation deck. The main engine is equipped with two Weichai Baudouin M series products, and two Weichai marine generator sets are chosen as auxiliary engines.

Captain Ji, who piloted the ship, said the ship was put into operation in 2018. The Weichai machine is powerful, quiet and fuel-efficient. Especially during the peak tourist season in Qingdao, the machine operates for more than ten hours a day and performs very reliably.

Weichai, let "China Power" inject new vitality into the yacht industry

Yachts are the fusion of high-end equipment and marine culture, and the technological height of their core, the power systems, directly determines the competitiveness of the industry. In recent years, the Chinese yacht market has shown a steady growth trend, and the yacht industry has gradually expanded from high-end consumption to mass-facing and leisure. But the market is largely dominated by foreign brands, and engines and maintenance costs are relatively expensive.

In the yacht market, Weichai has successively launched five major yacht engine platforms represented by N platform and M platform, with power ranging from 20kW to 4400kW, featuring strong power, green energy efficiency, stability and reliability, and intelligent networking. At the same time, it can flexibly customize and develop solutions for customers to create high-quality, high-efficiency pure battery power and hybrid power system solutions.

Looking ahead, Weichai is working with upstream and downstream channels and partners to explore the path of high-quality development of the yacht industry, ignite the passion and romance of the Marine leisure industry, and inject new vitality into the yacht industry with "Chinese power".
