Recently, city ferries equipped with Weichai Baudouin engines were put into operation in New York City. The successful application in North American high-end market indicates that Weichai has taken a solid step forward in the transformation and upgrading.

"All the engines in these ferries are ‘MADE IN CHINA’.The world-famous engines like Caterpillar and Cummins are made in USA, so for Chinese products to enter the US market is indeed very, very difficult. "

These "water buses" equipped with Weichai Baudouin engines, work every day for more than 18 hours since being put into use. The power, performance and economic indicators all exceeded customer expectations. The United States has the most advanced engine technology and most strict emission standards in the world, so entering the US market means that the Weichai engineshave achieved the world-class level.

"Our customers are very satisfied with the performance of the performance, services and ease of use. Our team is also looking forward to the even better market performance of Weichai Baudouin engines."

In 2009, Weichai acquired Baudouin, one of France's largest marine engine companies, to build a global R&D and sales platform and explore global markets. Baudouin's annual output rose from less than 100 units to current 1500 units.

"Bodouan is a century-old company with business in Europe, Mediterranean coast and North Africa, but not the US market. Weichai's M&A greatly enhanced the presence of Baudouin in the North American market."

In the first five months of this year, Weichai's business income at home and abroad reached 86 billion yuan, rising 80 percent. Out of the income, more than one-third came from overseas business. The acquisitions of Weichai have all been profitable as of right now.
