Over the past four decades in Southeast Asia, Weichai has evolved far beyond a product supplier—it has become deeply embedded in Vietnam's local industrial landscape, accompanying customers through their own growth journeys. As it reaches this significant milestone, Weichai reaffirms its commitment to working with partners to advance green and intelligent transformation, driving high-quality development across the region.

Weichai's presence in Vietnam began with the introduction of its first 6160A marine diesel engine. From the outset, the company has been dedicated to delivering robust, durable power units capable of withstanding the region's demanding operating conditions. Through a sustained localization strategy, Weichai has continuously optimized its products to perform reliably in Vietnam's high-temperature, high-humidity environment and complex working scenarios, earning widespread market recognition for exceptional quality.

 

Today, Weichai has established a complete local industrial ecosystem in Vietnam. Baudouin, its premium French power brand, complements its offering in the marine and power-generation segments. Weichai also became the first overseas power enterprise to obtain VR certification from Vietnam's Register of Shipping. Its product portfolio complies with emission standards ranging from Euro II to Euro V. The business has evolved from simple product exports to an integrated supply of products, services, technologies, and branding—a transformation that has earned long-term trust among Vietnamese customers. One notable example is a marine-industry client who has relied on Weichai marine engines for 26 consecutive years, praising their stable performance, low failure rates, and reduced maintenance costs under heavy maritime operations.

 

Thanks to four decades of dedicated efforts, Weichai now provides full-scene, full-product-line coverage in Vietnam, powering buses, trucks, marine vessels, construction machinery, and power generation equipment. Backed by reliable products and attentive after-sales service, the company ranks among the market leaders. To date, cumulative sales of Weichai power products in Vietnam have exceeded 160,000 units, with leading market shares in both the bus and marine-engine sectors. In the first half of 2026 alone, engine sales rose 19% year-on-year.

 

Weichai maintains deep strategic cooperation with Vietnam's leading enterprise, Truong Hai Group, serving as a key powertrain supplier for its buses and light-duty trucks. Their partnership has expanded from engine supply to comprehensive vehicle industrial-chain collaboration, further strengthening Sino-Vietnamese economic and trade ties.

 

Looking ahead, in response to global trends in new energy and intelligent technologies, Weichai will continue to invest in the Vietnamese market—upgrading technologies, expanding product offerings, and enhancing comprehensive services. Together with its partners, Weichai is poised to explore new opportunities for green growth and pursue high-quality development in the years to come.
