Founded in 1951, with 30 wholly-owned, holding and joint-stock subsidiaries, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Yuchai Group) is an internal combustion engine manufacturing base with the most complete spectrum of products in the country.
In recent years, machinery manufacturing industry has been dropped off influenced by domestic and foreign economic situations, especially domestic overcapacity and unreasonable product structure. Reversely, Yuchai has sold over 3 million engines with the annualized revenues amount to RMB 40 billion.
Over the years, as China’s largest engine R&D manufacturing base, Yuchai adjusts and optimizes its industrial structure and constantly strengthens its capacity for independent innovation. Therefore, the key technology continues to be the top in the sector for further keeping its own top leader in the industry.
Innovation-Driven
In 2013, seven world-class diesel-engine products for high-speed craft including YC4F launched by Yuchai, marked that Yuchai had the relatively well-developed spectrum of products in the marine & D-drive engine field of high speed craft.
In 2014, Yuchai had developed large marine & D-drive engines like YC12VC and YC16V. Thus, it changed the domestic market of high-end marine & D-drive engine dominated by foreign products, forming the new growth point of enterprises.
In 2015, China's first successful diesel engine developed by Yuchai had been developed.
Statistics shows that, over the five years, Yuchai has launched more than 60 new engine products by taking advantage of the environmental upgrading.
Innovation is the lifeblood of enterprise development. For this reason, Yuchai has continuously strengthened its capacity for independent innovation, dropped nearly RMB 4 billion on its R&D with the year-on-year growth of 112% over the past five years.
Yuchai has won three the second prizes of national science and technology progress awards including the ‘Key Technology and Application of Low-noise Design of Diesel Engine’ and ‘Key Technology and Industrialization of Energy-conserving and Environment-friendly Engines’ through independent innovation.
As the national diesel engine enterprise with tremendous R&D strength, Yuchai has given its priority to the country’s first Euro VI diesel engine, keeping pace with emissions upgrading, and centralized superior resources to develop the most competitive products. Yuchai is expected to invest RMB 5 billion on Euro VI alone, including RMB 2 billion in R&D. Accordingly, the corresponding software and hardware will also be upgraded.
The efforts by Yuchai brought about great results. On January 10 of this year, the lighting ceremony of Euro VI was launched at test center of engineering research institute. The success of the fire marked that Yuchai early stepped into the new era of Euro VI, and again took the lead by a number of cutting-edge technologies.
System reengineering
Yuchai has always dreamed of becoming a world-class company in the world. But for that to happen, since 2014, Yuchai advanced the ‘second startup’ with the purpose of high-quality products and high increasing benefits by focusing on comprehensive transformation and upgrading, mainly taking the market and product transformation, based on intelligent manufacturing and technological innovation to strive to become an advanced equipment manufacturer.
‘We must be clear that Chinese machinery manufacturers, including Yuchai, still have a gap with the world-class manufacturers. Only through system reengineering can we break through and surpass them.’ said Yan Ping, Chairman of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd.
Over the five years, Yuchai had made a significant achievement by fully promoting the system reengineering and transforming through lean management and group operation.
"We will lay the foundation and constantly cultivate and introduce talents within three years." said Yan Ping. The innovation planning of Yuchai is conducted on the condition of becoming the world first-class enterprise. Adhering to this idea, Yuchai has introduced more than 10 top foreign experts to create an internationally competitive products and management system with the ‘foreign brains’.
Corporate culture is different at home and abroad, so the concept conflict exists. For example, Yuchai’s leaders had fierce thought collision with Japanese experts, who came to Yuchai in the first time. “That's not a bad thing. After all, Yuchai has the inertia of thinking exists with 60 years of management experience. The more the inertia of thinking has, the greater the resistance is to reform after the collision, but it also means that the success of the reform will bring greater changes.” said a relevant person in charge of Yuchai. One of the typical examples is parts and components inspection system. With the help of foreign experts, Yuchai has set up a new system, which is completely different from the traditional one, and the core team management and international vision have been continuously improved.
“Over the past 5 years, almost the innovations of Yuchai are based on preliminarily well-laid planning, programming and system reengineering. We will increase enterprise efficiency and effectiveness before the process is simplified. We will achieve truly efficient innovation before we follow the natural law of survival of the fittest, and let the capable personnel shoulder the important responsibility of development.” the person in charge said.
Yuchai made the total sales of the engine for five consecutive years ranked first in the industry through a series of changes in innovation. In 2016, the operating quality and profitability of Yuchai continued to rebound, and the operating profit margins were at their best in history.
Move toward the world
Since the 18th national congress of CPC, Yuchai has been expanding overseas markets with the One Belt and Road Initiative, promoting international strategy, brand awareness and its influence.
Over the 5 years, Yuchai has 15 overseas offices, 450 overseas service branches, 124 overseas service agents. Its products are sold more than 170 to other countries and regions, covering Asia, Europe, the United States, Africa and Oceania. The number of overseas market share has exceeded 360 thousand.
Yuchai has created an international R&D platform in a bid to break through the international advanced technology.
To enhance the competitiveness of products and consolidate its domestic market, Yuchai also continue to improve the market competitive advantages in Southeast Asian regions including Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, and is committed to achieving new breakthroughs in these countries such as Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Latin America, and expanding cooperation between the engine and OMEs to support export share.
With the growing influence of Yuchai brand, overseas market sales are rising. In the first half of this year, the entry volume of the engine for overseas market has grown by 4.6%. Among them, the export of passenger cars was further consolidated with an increase of 105% year on year, while the marine & D-drive engine per unit of overseas markets grew by more than 10% year on year. Even some experts said, “More sluggish the market is, while the Yuchai personnel keep calmer.”
“Next, yuchai will continue to further advance control reengineering and system reforming, take the opportunity of the Euro VI, promote the overall high-end products, and stride forward to the international advanced enterprises.” said Yan Ping.
