Evolving from well-known series products with brilliant performance
As the “heart” of a bus, the engine plays a decisive role in assessing a vehicle’s comprehensive performance, especially its power performance, fuel consumption and stability. Therefore, there are very strict requirements in choosing and installing engines. Over recent years, medium light bus market sees a rising sales amount. High-level business vehicle users who always attend high-standard official business and significant business events expect their vehicles’ engine to be extremely powerful and comfortable. However, for supermarkets’ routine buses, urban-rural passenger buses and group tour buses which are also medium light buses, their users hope the engines to be excellent in terms of economical efficiency and security. Low oil consumption is their first requirement on engines. Will the two series engines Yuchai newly launched meet the above demands? How is the engines’ performance?
Yuchai’s product responsible person told www.chinabuses.com that the R&D of YC4EG is relying on Yuchai’s cooperation with British Ricardo Strategic Consulting. YC4EG’s cylinder is enlarged and the distance of travel is increased based on the widely acknowledged YC4E. The displacement increases to 4.73L from 4.26L. It adopts SCR post processing technology, meeting China IV standard. It is especially fit for the 8-8.5 meters buses which have increasing demand on power. For YC4S engines, Yuchai cooperates with American Southwest Research Institute. It targets at 7-7.5 meters business vehicle, tour buses and highway passenger vehicle, but also suits for 8-8.5 meters medium and high-level school buses, and performs very well in power, security and comfort. It uses NVH technology to reduce vibration and noise, which makes the ride comfort reach the highest level in this industry. At the same time, it adopts 3.8L displacement plus 120~150Ps power, and controls such respects as optimal matching, spare parts and lightweight technology, thus, improving the fuel’s economic efficiency.

Over the years, Yuchai have been focusing on products’ R&D and process manufacturing, putting talents’ receiving and cultivating to top priority, and improving Yuchai’s innovation system. That is also why Yuchai’s engines are famous for “brilliant performance and leading displacement”. Currently, Yuchai has established 3 technology platforms, respectively for diesel engine’s structure design, for clean and effective diesel engine burning, diesel engine’s electrical control, development, matching and calibration technique, promoting China’s diesel engine industry synchronizing with the world’s. With clear and accurate marketing position, the two new series of engines proceed with Yuchai’s high quality which integrates power, economic efficiency and comfort into a whole. They win much acknowledgement when they were launched and are regarded as strong competitors in the medium light bus’s engine market.
Professional service and remarkable advantages
Products can be imitated and surpassed, but the innovative service is always a card getting upper hand of the market. The whole bus industry is transiting from simple product competition to the service competition. The service price, efficiency, quality and user’s experience and satisfaction are becoming new labels in assessing a company’s service ability. Besides user’s confidence in the quality of Yuchai’s engines, Yuchai’s powerful service network also explains the acknowledgement on YC$S and YC3EG.
As Yuchai develops fast, with the service tenet “sparing no effort to service customers all over the world wholeheartedly and in good faith”, Yuchai has been leading ahead in its after-sales service. By now, Yuchai has more than 3,000 service stations across China, more than 4,000 spare part sales offices and a huge network as well as increasingly improved service and part management. They are fulfilling Yuchai’s commitment and provide a strong guarantee for customers.
Chairman of board of Yuchai Group Mr. Yan Ping once pointed out: “Yuchai will put service into a strategic position and take powerful measures at the same time of enhancing service to make breakthrough in service level.” As is expected by him, Yuchai’s service measures and contents are improving, such as service stations’ professional segmentation, direct interactive with customers by utilizing mobile platforms, the capability to serve engines under China IV standard. Users are experiencing the convenience brought by Yuchai’s improving service.
At present, Yuchai’s YC4EG and YC4S engines fully meet the coming China IV standard; in future, Yuchai’s powerful service system will provide users with more and more unprecedented quality service. According to industrial observers, the two series of engines will set up a new model for medium light buses’ power.
