With its full-technology-route layout and full-scenario adaptability, it provides a mature, reliable, integrated powertrain solution for the global commercial-vehicle zero-carbon transition.
During the fair, Weichai launched three new products precisely tailored to Europe's stringent regulations and high-end transport scenarios. The NG4.0 Pro gas power continuously raises the industry benchmark with its low-carbon, energy-saving, and powerful performance, greatly reducing users' operating costs. The WPH15DI hydrogen internal-combustion-engine hybrid assembly innovatively achieves electro-hydrogen collaborative coupling, balancing zero-carbon emissions with heavy-duty reliability, effectively solving the industry's pain points of high hydrogen-energy application consumption and weak adaptability. The EM300 long-haul heavy-truck custom underfloor battery pack optimizes the vehicle's passability and safety performance, with strong range and high expandability, precisely matching European long-haul trunk-line logistics scenarios.
In its product-matrix layout, Weichai achieves full coverage of low-carbon and zero-carbon power. In the traditional-power segment, efficient diesel, multi-fuel, and new-generation gas engines combine lightweight design, low emissions, and high economy, are compatible with diverse clean fuels, and suit various mainstream overseas operating conditions. In the new-energy segment, multiple technology routes — pure electric, hybrid, range-extended, and hydrogen internal-combustion engine — run in parallel, balancing the core needs of zero-carbon transition with vehicle reliability and operating economy. At the same time, Weichai also displayed three-electric core components such as high-reliability power batteries, ultra-long-life cells, and multi-in-one high-end controllers, realizing full-chain in-house R&D capability.
Hande Axle: Full-Series Star Products Empower Global Commercial-Vehicle Green Development
At the 2026 Hannover International Commercial Vehicle Show, Hande Axle focused on the global commercial-vehicle trends of low-carbonization, high efficiency, and intelligence.
