Weichai America have successfully finished the first production-line testing in Sacramento, CA. This is the first production-line testing in Weichai America by randomly selecting the engines from the production-line based on the projected volume and testing them in a third party lab. The emissions data are very close to those tested in the certification test thanks to all the efforts from different departments.
This is the first time of the rich-burn engine families for North American application. The nonemergency family will allow a wide range of fuel operation from 700 to 2362 BTU/CF of LHV, covering commercial pipeline natural gas, LPG, and most of the wellhead gas in oil and gas filed.
Weichai America is proud to offer the North American market a durable, reliable, clean burning, competitively priced alternative for nonroad and stationary applications. We encourage you to learn more about the Company and products on this website (www.WeichaiAmerica.com).
