www.chinabuses.org: China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE: CYD) ("China Yuchai" or the "Company") announced today that the Dalian Public Transport Group ("DPTG") Tourism Branch is using engines manufactured by its subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited ("GYMCL), in 80% of its fleet of approximately 80 buses. GYMCL's engines have now become DPTG's preferred engine for use.
In 2008, DPTG started using GYMCL's engines in several of its buses and found that these buses outperformed other buses in their fleet running on other engines. DPTG attributed the difference to the reliability, fuel economy and adaptability of GYMCL's engines. GYMCL's excellent after-market service and ready availability of parts also played a part in DPTG's decision to switch to GYMCL's engines.
DPTG's buses are in continuous operation to provide reliable mass transportation in Dalian, Liaoning Province in North-East China. DPTG's buses range from 10 - 12 meters and typically travel routes from between 300 - 3,000 kilometers. DPTG specially highlighted GYMCL's YC6M and the YC6MK engines for its superior power and fuel efficiency especially when used in mountainous terrain. The YC6M engine is a 10-liter, 6-cylinder in-line engine and the YC6MK is an upgraded YC6M model using newly developed 6K technology. The YC6MK engine has a 10.34-liter capacity and its main applications are in the heavy-duty truck, coach and bus market as well as in heavy construction machinery.
Weng Ming Hoh, President of China Yuchai, commented, "We are pleased that our heavy-duty engines continue to dominate the Chinese bus market. The YC6MK has become our new flagship engine targeting the heavy-duty truck, coach and over 12 meter bus markets. We are actively working with our original equipment manufacturers to increase visibility and acceptance of our YC6MK engines so as to further expand our market share in this important segment."
