Weichai Power: The road to technological innovation goes further and wider

Innovation is the soul of a nation’s progress and an inexhaustible motive force for a country’s prosperity. For enterprises, technological innovation is a source of development. It is an important means to optimize the industrial structure by intensifying the independent innovation of enterprises, stimulating the rational adjustment of the industry with technological advancement, and leading the industrial leap with technological innovation. Weichai Power, which stands tall in the Chinese equipment manufacturing industry, is even more aware of this, and the company's independent innovation bears numerous fruits.

What is self-innovation in the end? The answer of Weichai people is: The key is the core technology. Only when the core technology is fully mastered is innovation based on autonomy. Weichai people have indeed done this. On May 8, 2012, the launch of the Weichai Power Global R&D Center and the launch of the first high-voltage common rail electronic control system in China were held in the new Weichai plant. The heavy-duty diesel engine developed independently by Weichai Group and with independent intellectual property rights The successful development of the high pressure common rail electronic control system, ECU, signals that the monopoly of foreign companies in this field will be broken. The opening of the global R&D center means that more new products and technologies will be available.

Technological innovation

The use of more advanced technologies to promote the production process of green and environmentally friendly engines is the actual action of Weichai Power's implementation of the scientific concept of development. In more than 60 years of development, technological innovation has been accompanied by Weichai all the way forward.

On March 13, 2012, China's first high-power, high-pressure, direct-injection, compression-ignition natural gas engine (HPDI engine) was put on the market, filling the gap in the application of domestic natural direct-injection engines, which became China's natural gas. A milestone in the history of engine development. On September 29, 2011, Weichai Power officially launched the “Eco-fueled Weichai Line” campaign in Weifang, Shandong Province, and released the D-spindle fuel-efficient powertrain technology to comprehensively increase the torque from 800 to 1500 rpm, which is more dynamic and more overtaking and climbing. Easier, more economical rotation speed, lower vehicle fuel consumption at high speed, lower engine running speed, lower relative movement speed of friction pair, longer engine and transmission system life, low engine speed, low vibration of whole vehicle The noise is even smaller.

Examples of such technological innovations are numerous. In recent years, through a series of capital operations and mergers and reorganizations, they have succeeded in absorbing the merger of the Hunan Torch as a symbol, and have become a large-scale equipment manufacturing group with heavy trucks, passenger cars and other gold industrial chains. A new pattern of coordinated development of powertrains, commercial vehicles and auto parts has been constructed. After the industry chain was lengthened, Weichai proposed the concept of “chain innovation” and systematically matched and integrated innovations for engines, transmissions, and axles.

Talent innovation

Independent innovation of enterprises is inseparable from talent innovation. According to Tan Xuguang, chairman of Weichai Power, “Overseas high-end talents have joined Weichai since 2009, and Weichai has provided important positions for them, and formed professional teams and configured high-quality resources. Established cutting-edge core technology development platforms such as the New Energy Technology Institute, the Institute of Electronic Control Technology, the Institute of Powertrain Research, the Institute of Vibration and Noise Research, the Institute of Computational Analysis, the Institute of Drivetrain Systems, and the Institute for Reliability of Engines. The modular and matrix R&D system has created a large number of technological innovation achievements. Among them, the ECU system is one of the many scientific and technological innovations independently developed by Weichai.”

It is understood that the Weichai Group's engine segment has more than 2,700 R&D personnel, including 2 national "Thousand Talents Plan" experts, 7 Taishan scholars, 7 domestic and foreign experts, 24 domestic and overseas doctoral candidates, 620 masters, and 1900 domestic 211 , 985 undergraduates graduated from colleges and universities. The company has formed a technical development team that has expanded from more than 50 people to more than 2,000. At present, the six key positions of Weichai Group chief scientist, strategic director, legal director, director of information technology, human resources director, and auto parts director are all supported by overseas high-end talents introduced in recent years. Weichai has also abandoned the “privileged seniority” and “big pot” systems in the past, and has taken the lead in the technical staff to implement a separate mechanism for evaluating and appraising technical positions. From the traditional emphasis on academic qualifications and working years, we have changed our focus on ability and performance.

In recent years, Weichai Group has continuously made new initiatives in the innovative employment mechanism. Such as the introduction of a competitive mechanism, the implementation of a technical job evaluation and separation mechanism among technical personnel, so as to establish a performance evaluation system based on the company’s strategic objectives and with key performance indicators as the core; to innovate the compensation management system and implement innovative salary assessment; Reform the talent evaluation mechanism, introduce a competency model, and objectively evaluate talent capabilities. Adhering to first-class talents, first-class remuneration, and implementing major awards for major innovation achievements and outstanding innovative talents, the company will annually allocate 10 million yuan in funds, awards and rewards innovative teams and individuals, and the best innovative project team can receive 1 million yuan.

Reducing talents without restraint, talent innovation leads to technological innovation, and these two points are the inexhaustible motive force for Weichai’s road of technological innovation.
