On July 22, the Weichai 2026 Global Partner Conference was held in Hanoi, Vietnam. Meanwhile, the Shandong Heavy Industry Group Green Intelligent Product Exhibition was grandly held at the Vietnam National Exhibition Center (VEC). As a core business segment of the Shandong Heavy Industry Group, Weichai concentrated on showcasing the full series of green intelligent products and solutions, conveying Weichai's firm determination to deepen its new energy field and layout in Vietnam and Southeast Asian markets to global partners.

Currently, the global carbon neutrality wave continues to advance, and Southeast Asia is rising as the core growth pole of the new energy commercial vehicle market. Vietnam and various Southeast Asian countries have successively introduced relevant supportive policies such as transportation electrification, energy saving and emission reduction. Combined with relatively high regional fuel prices, rising demand for fixed scenario operations, and Vietnam's natural advantage of diversified clean energy supply, the potential of the regional new energy market continues to be released. The holding of this conference will become an important platform for Weichai and global partners to jointly explore new opportunities for regional green transformation and jointly expand new market spaces.

Full-chain empowerment, precise adaptation, creating a new benchmark for green power in Southeast Asia

Based on the core needs of the Southeast Asian regional market, Weichai has completed a new energy product layout in all directions and fields. Relying on the independently developed "three-electric" core technologies of batteries, motors, and electronic control, Weichai has built a complete product matrix covering new energy heavy trucks, light trucks, construction machinery, and buses, forming a green solution for all scenarios and all categories.

Aiming at the unique climate characteristics of high temperature and high humidity in Southeast Asia, Weichai carried out localized customization and optimization for the full series of new energy products. It focused on strengthening core performance such as battery thermal management and electronic control system moisture proofing protection, effectively solving industry pain points such as range attenuation and frequent failures that ordinary pure electric vehicles easily appear in tropical environments, making products more adaptable to regional actual operation scenarios.

In the commercial vehicle field, new energy heavy trucks and light trucks equipped with Weichai's "three-electric" core technologies show significant advantages in port, park, urban logistics, slag self-unloading and other full-scenario operations—they not only significantly reduce operating costs brought by fuel consumption but also effectively reduce noise pollution and improve operational efficiency. They are gradually replacing traditional fuel vehicles, helping customers achieve the dual goals of cost reduction and efficiency enhancement and green operations.

Its subsidiary Star Bus has achieved batch export to Southeast Asia. Multiple models equipped with Weichai's "three-electric" system, relying on stable performance and excellent range performance, won wide recognition from local customers. At the same time, multiple products successfully won EU WVTA certification and smoothly entered the European high-end market, fully demonstrating Weichai's new energy technology international competitiveness and product hardness.

In addition, Weichai also deepened strategic cooperation with Vietnam Changhai Group, jointly developing new energy commercial vehicles adapted to local logistics, passenger transport and other scenarios, further accelerating regional market penetration and building a solid market foundation for win-win cooperation.

In the ship field, Weichai closely follows the global maritime green transformation trend and accurately docks regional shipping needs. It launched diversified alternative fuel products such as methanol engines and biodiesel, building low-carbon power solutions in the maritime field.

Among them, Weichai's methanol engine relies on the core advantages of high efficiency, clean, fuel availability, and strong adaptability. It can directly adapt to Vietnam inland shipping, coastal transport and other mainstream scenarios. Fuel combustion is full, and carbon emissions are significantly reduced compared to traditional fuel engines. At the same time, it perfectly adapts to the local methanol fuel supply system, balancing operating cost control and environmental protection requirements, becoming the preferred solution for local ship enterprises' green transformation.

In March of this year, at the Singapore Asia-Pacific Marine Expo (APM), Weichai officially released the B100 biofuel series new products. At the meeting, a B100 biofuel vessel 1000-hour sea trial completion ceremony powered by Weichai core power was successfully held. Nanyang Technological University, China Classification Society Singapore Branch, Pinnacle Marine and other partners jointly witnessed this moment.

From the 2024 project signing to the 2025 actual ship launch, this was Singapore's first B100 actual ship 1000-hour sea trial project. This full-cycle verification provided demonstration and key data support for the industry to explore low-carbon fuel applications. The series new products complement the methanol engine, further enriching Weichai's green power matrix, providing implementable and replicable low-carbon paths for green transformation in the maritime field.

Four decades of in-depth cultivation, reputation foundation, building solid core competitiveness in the Southeast Asian market

Cultivating the Vietnamese market for four decades, Weichai has always taken customer needs as the guide. Deeply cultivating the regional market with high-quality products and perfect services, it long ago built a solid market foundation and harvested wide recognition and good reputation from local customers. As of now, Weichai's cumulative delivery of engines in Vietnam reached 160,000 units. Ship engine and bus engine market share firmly stay first in the region. Relying on reliable product quality and perfect after-sales service systems, it is deeply integrated into local transportation, shipping, construction machinery and other core fields, becoming a power brand with great influence in the Vietnamese market.

This deep market accumulation spanning four decades is not only an intuitive embodiment of Weichai's product hardness and brand influence but also built a solid customer basis and market trust for the landing and promotion of subsequent new energy business in the Southeast Asian region. From traditional power to green intelligent new energy, Weichai has always kept up with regional market development steps, continuously optimizing products and services, and achieved common growth with local markets and customers.

Weichai's layout of the Southeast Asian new energy market is both a strategic choice following the global green development trend and responding to regional policy orientation, and a pragmatic measure based on customer needs to achieve bidirectional win-win for enterprises and partners. In the future, Weichai will continue to take green intelligent technology as the core. Relying on whole industry chain technology advantages, it will deepen collaborative cooperation with global partners, further perfect local production, sales and service systems, accurately dock Southeast Asian regional green transformation needs, and help Vietnam and Southeast Asian regions achieve green growth goals and net-zero emission commitments.
