CCEC has entered China for 37 years.
In the 1980s, with the rise of the wave of reform and opening up, my country’s economic development has been accelerating. In this context, my country’s commercial vehicle industry has experienced insufficient production and cannot meet the needs of economic development. In order to expand production capacity and narrow the technology gap, China introduced a large number of foreign truck technologies during the Sixth Five-Year Plan and Seventh Five-Year Plan. Among them, CCEC is the first batch of enterprises to enter China.
On January 25, 1981, as one of the key import projects in the engine field in China’s sixth five-year plan, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group and CCEC formally signed a technology import agreement to license the production of CCEC in Chongqing Automobile Engine Factory, a subsidiary of Sinotruk. 10-50 liters high-horsepower diesel engine, which fills a gap in the field of high-performance high-horsepower diesel engines in China. This cooperation made CCEC the first western diesel engine company to conduct localized production in China, and the Chongqing Automobile Engine Plant became the starting point for CCEC’ localized production in China.
With 19 manufacturing companies in China, CCEC is the largest foreign investor in China’s diesel engine industry
Today, CCEC has invested more than 240 million US dollars in China. As the largest foreign investor in China’s diesel engine industry, CCEC has 19 manufacturing enterprises in China, producing engines, turbochargers, filters, and emission treatment systems. , fuel systems, alternators and generator sets. For China’s commercial vehicle industry, the most well-known CCEC in China is the six engine joint venture factories.
DCEC Plant (joint venture), produces CCEC B, C, L series mechanical and ISDe, ISLe, ISZ series fully electronically controlled diesel engines, and B series natural gas engines with engine displacements of 3.9L, 4.5L, 5.9L, 6.7L, 8.3L, 8.9L, 13L, the power coverage range is 125-545HP.
On November 15, 1986, FAW and CCEC signed the B series diesel engine manufacturing technology license transfer contract.
The cooperation between Dongfeng and CCEC can be said to be very in-depth. As early as 1984, China Second Automobile Group decided to introduce the B/C series medium-horsepower engines (3.9-8.3 liters) that CCEC just launched in 1983. On November 15, 1986, FAW and CCEC signed the B series diesel engine product and manufacturing technology license transfer contract in the Great Hall of the People. On June 30, 1990, the first CCEC B series engine was successfully rolled off the production line at Dongfeng Diesel Engine Plant.
In June 1996, after the expiration of the production technology license agreement for CCEC B series engines, Dongfeng Motor Corporation and CCEC Corporation of the United States established DCEC Engine Co., Ltd. with a 50:50 equity ratio.
On February 22, 2003, Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Dongfeng Motor”) and CCEC announced to expand the scope of cooperation to process the B series diesel engine branch of “Dongfeng Motor” and the engine block and cylinder head solely owned by CCEC. The company is integrated with the CCEC C series diesel engine joint venture production plant (DCEC Engine Co., Ltd.). “Dongfeng Motor” and CCEC will continue to each hold 50% of the shares in the enlarged DCEC Engine Co., Ltd.
In addition to technology introduction, Dongfeng and CCEC are also actively cooperating in research and development. CCEC East Asia R&D Center (hereinafter referred to as East Asia R&D Center) located in Wuhan Zhuankou Economic and Technological Development Zone is a joint venture established by CCEC and Dongfeng Motor Corporation. This is the first domestic joint venture diesel engine research and development institution, and it is also the 17th research and development institution established by CCEC in the world. After the second phase expansion in October 2011, the East Asia R&D Center has become CCEC’ second largest R&D institution in the world after the US technology center. Dongfeng’s existing ISZ13-liter engine is the representative product of this R&D center.
In 1995, CCEC and Sinotruk formally signed the joint venture contract of “CCEC Engine Co., Ltd.”.
