Weichai Power: Expanding Auto Parts Gold Industry Chain

Weichai Power stands as one of China's leading manufacturers of high-power, high-speed diesel engines. Its engines are known for their impressive power output and broad application across various industries. The company holds a dominant position in the domestic market, with an 80% market share for heavy-duty trucks weighing 15 tons or more, and a 78% share for loaders with a capacity of 5 tons and above. On April 30, 2007, Weichai Power made a significant move by acquiring S-Torch Torch, which was officially listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The stock opened at a price that was 70 yuan higher than its issue price, reflecting a 241% increase. By the end of the day, the stock closed at 64.93 yuan, marking a 217% rise from its initial offering. This event marked the official exit of S-Torch Torch from the capital market, effectively dismantling the last piece of the Delong system. It was widely recognized as the most innovative "H to A" (Hong Kong to A-shares) case in Chinese financial history. The Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, Shaanxi Fast Gear, and Hande Axle businesses, previously under the SZ Torch Group, are now part of Weichai Power. This expansion has allowed the company to extend its operations from engine research, production, and sales into the broader automotive sector, including heavy-duty vehicles, transmissions, axles, and other key components. The merger significantly enhances Weichai’s capabilities in international technical cooperation and joint development. The company has been actively seeking partnerships with global leaders such as MAN, Eaton, and Cummins to upgrade its product technologies and strengthen its technical reserves. These collaborations are expected to boost the quality and performance of heavy trucks and powertrain systems, improving overall competitiveness. To date, Weichai’s business has expanded across the entire automotive supply chain, covering upstream, midstream, and downstream segments. Its powertrain businesses, such as Weichai Power Engine, Fast Transmission, and Hande Heavy Truck Bridge, are seen as high-growth and highly profitable areas. Additionally, its automotive electronics segments—such as air conditioning, lighting, and braking systems—have shown strong growth. The company also engages in vehicle manufacturing, including Shaanxi heavy trucks and Dongfeng off-road vehicles. Analysts from CITIC Securities have referred to this comprehensive structure as the “golden industrial chain.” According to Chairman Tan Xuguang, Weichai will continue to focus primarily on engines, a highly profitable segment within the heavy-duty truck industry. With strong R&D capabilities, the company maintains a powerful market position and significant bargaining power, far exceeding that of整车 (complete vehicle) manufacturers. The engine, transmission, and axle form the core of a heavy-duty vehicle's powertrain. These components carry substantial value and competitive advantage, giving Weichai greater influence in the market. Monopolistic technologies in these areas can further drive the company’s growth and solidify its leadership in the industry. In summary, Weichai Power has evolved from a major engine manufacturer into a diversified automotive giant, leveraging strategic acquisitions, technological innovation, and global partnerships to strengthen its market position and long-term sustainability.
