In March 2026, the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference successfully concluded in Beijing.

At the meeting, it was proposed to 'adhere to the focus of economic development on the real economy'. The manufacturing industry, as the foundation of the real economy, will become the top priority in the industrial layout of this year's Two Sessions. At this grand event that sets the tone for China's future development“Cultivate and strengthen new driving forces”The“Green and low-carbon transformation”The“Technological self-reliance and self-improvement”Becoming the hottest keyword, andThe internal combustion engine and power equipment industry, as an important component of the manufacturing industry, has also ushered in unprecedented opportunities of the times.


When the policy direction is clear, but where is the specific path?

How can artificial intelligence be truly integrated into power systems?

How far is hydrogen energy and green fuel from commercialization?

What did those companies that took the lead in layout do correctly?


The answer is often hidden on-site


The 2026 International Internal Combustion Engine and Power Equipment Expo - Here, policy statements will be transformed into a micro path that is within reach: seeing the implemented technical solutions, hearing the practical sharing of pioneers, and connecting with key resources upstream and downstream of the industry... This is not only a window for showcasing products, but also a core accelerator to help enterprises adapt to national strategies, achieve technological leaps, and explore trillion dollar blue ocean markets.

new growth driver

Intelligent economy reshapes the definition of "power"

The Two Sessions emphasize“Cultivate new forms of intelligent economy, deepen and expand artificial intelligence+”. The deeper meaning of this statement is that power equipment is no longer just about providing torque and horsepower, but also about becoming intelligent agents.Whether it's unmanned driving of non road machinery, intelligent energy efficiency management of ship power, or precise control of hydrogen engines,The integration of AI and power systems is the trend.

Li Ying, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at the School of Navigation of Dalian Maritime University, believes that intelligence and power must be developed in an integrated manner,With the advancement of new energy applications, it will definitely promote the improvement of intelligent navigation technology, and ultimately lead to the same goal of coordinated development and integrated advancement.

Weichai, as a leading enterprise in the industry, has taken the lead in laying out in this wave of technological change. AI technology has achieved a coverage rate of nearly 80% in core business scenarios, shortened research and development cycles by 20%, and increased production efficiency by 10.6%. The engine health management model it has created can be linked to more than 8000 service stations worldwide, achieving predictive maintenance and reducing customer repair costs by an average of 30%.

All of these indicate that digital transformation has become the core path and necessary answer for cultivating "new quality productivity" in the manufacturing industry, and power equipment without "intelligent agent" architecture will gradually be marginalized by high-end supply chains.

Green transformation drives technological revolution

Accelerating the comprehensive green transformation is highlighted. From establishing a national low-carbon transformation fund to cultivating new growth points such as hydrogen energy and green fuels, and then to“The hard target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 3.8%Send a clear signal:The old model of high energy consumption and high emissions has no way out. Green and low-carbon are the prerequisites for survival and the new barriers to competition.

The technological roadmap of internal combustion engines is facing diversified restructuring.Lu Xindi, a National People's Congress representative and Chief Skill Master of China FAW, pointed out that hydrogen internal combustion engines have significant cost advantages compared to hydrogen fuel cells, and the positioning of hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles as "clean energy vehicles" should be further clarified,Promote it to enjoy the same policy support as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in terms of product access, road rights, new energy vehicle credits, and financial subsidies.

Li Haihua, National People's Congress representative and Yuchai CorporationPay attention to the hybrid technology path. HeIt is pointed out that hybrid power (including extended range) is a critical path for the transition from internal combustion power to new energy, and plays an irreplaceable role in scenarios such as commercial vehicles, long-distance and heavy-duty non road mobile machinery.Suggest allowing hybrid products to enjoy the same purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax reduction benefits as pure electric and fuel cell products, and granting equal road rights in key scenarios.

Under the dual drive of policy and market, green transformation has shown significant results. The first domestically developed heavy commercial vehicle cylinder direct injection hydrogen internal combustion engine independently developed by FAW Jiefang has successfully ignited, with a power of over 368 kW and an effective thermal efficiency of 45%. Yuchai, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group and other enterprises have also successively launched hydrogen internal combustion engine products.

National People's Congress representative and Chairman of Yihuatong, Zhang Guoqiang, further pointed out that the carbon market and hydrogen energy are an organic combination of top-level mechanisms and implementation scenarios.The reduction of green hydrogen emissions can be included in CCER trading, further reducing hydrogen costs through carbon benefits,Form a virtuous cycle of "carbon reduction benefit reinvestment".

Technological self-reliance and self-improvement

Overcoming the bottleneck problem

The Two Sessions report emphasizes“Strengthen original innovation and key core technology research and development, and require the implementation of a new round of high-quality development actions for key manufacturing industry chainsStrengthen the reconstruction of industrial foundation and major technological equipment research, and create a number of national advanced manufacturing clusters. For the internal combustion engine and power equipment industry, the localization of core components such as high-pressure common rail systems, post-treatment catalysts, and high-power electric drive chips is the necessary path for the industry to grow stronger.

Li Nina, a National People's Congress representative and researcher at AVIC Guiyang Engine Design and Research Institute, suggested improving the procurement policy of gas turbines for state-owned enterprises and breaking through the bottleneck of domestic gas turbine applications; Include the domestic gas turbine industry in the core support category of the special project for high-quality development of industrial infrastructure reconstruction, and enhance the collaborative innovation capability of the industrial chain.

At the level of industrial practice, Weichai has established a four in one innovation system of "independent innovation+open innovation+basic research innovation+craftsman innovation", relying on national innovation platforms such as the National Key Laboratory of Internal Combustion Engine and Power System and the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center, and has overcome multiple "bottleneck" problems,In the future, more enterprises will continue to build a solid industrial foundation through independent innovation and contribute to the high-quality development of the power equipment industry.


Looking back at the past year, the added value of China's high-tech manufacturing industry and equipment manufacturing industry increased by 9.4% and 9.2% respectively, the production of industrial robots and integrated circuits increased by 28% and 10.9% respectively, and the annual output of new energy vehicles exceeded 16 million unitsBehind this impressive string of data is the backbone that silently supports the power equipment industry.

Looking towards the future, 2026 is a crucial year for the preparation of the 15th Five Year Plan and an important milestone towards carbon peak. The internal combustion engine and power equipment industry is facing both the rigid constraints of stricter emission regulations and the historical opportunities of the integration of hydrogen energy, green fuels, and artificial intelligence.

Relying on decades of industry consensus and resourcesWe have a responsibility and obligation to build a bridge for enterprises to "see the future, understand policies, and find a path" at such a critical juncture.

We are well aware that there is often a triple gap between the macro expression of policies and the micro practice of enterprises, which includes information asymmetry, technological uncertainty, and difficulty in connecting resources.That's why weCommitted to finding answers in the same field.

We believe that when all industry colleagues gather together, the lonely explorations in their respective laboratories and production workshops will eventually become a powerful driving force for the entire industry to rise.
