Yuchai K11M methanol engines have been put into batch production, which are green and efficient, saving 150,000 yuan per unit annually

As a renewable clean energy source, methanol combustion generates almost no soot emissions and has low emissions of other pollutants. Compared with traditional fuel engines, it has obvious environmental protection advantages. The Yuchai K11M methanol engine fully exploits this feature, using methanol as fuel to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and achieve lower exhaust emissions.

In addition to its environmental protection advantages, the Yuchai K11M methanol engine has also made significant breakthroughs in reliability and safety. The K11M methanol engine was developed on the mass-produced K11 platform, with highly integrated and structured components. The core components apply methanol-resistant material technology, which has stronger corrosion resistance. By applying the methanol control system, the industry problem of difficult start-up at low temperatures is overcome. In terms of safety technology, the wiring harnesses, rubber hoses and other components of the K11M methanol engine are made of non-metallic flame-retardant materials. High-temperature parts are wrapped with heat insulation, and the entire machine is protected from heat sources, ensuring safety and fire prevention.

In addition, the Yuchai K11M methanol engine also combines power performance with economy. The K11M methanol engine has greater power and torque, with a maximum torque of 1900N·m. It performs better at low torque and offers stronger acceleration and climbing capabilities. It also adopts a multi-point injection system, and its alcohol consumption is 8% lower than that of similar methanol machines. The price of methanol is stable and 20-30% cheaper than that of diesel. Compared with traditional fuel-powered heavy-duty truck tractors, methanol heavy-duty trucks can save 1 yuan per kilometer. Calculated based on a heavy-duty truck traveling 150,000 kilometers in a year, it can easily save 150,000 yuan. The potential user base of the methanol machine market is huge. Users are quite concerned about the payback period of investment. Therefore, methanol machine vehicles with good reliability and high availability have gained favor among users. At present, the number of methanol vehicles in the market has reached over a thousand, mainly equipped with engines of brands such as Yuchai.

The Yuchai K11M methanol engine, with its features of low carbon, environmental protection, reliability and high efficiency, has become an important force driving the automotive industry's transition to clean energy. It not only meets users' demands for power performance, but also makes positive contributions to the realization of the "dual carbon" strategic goals and the promotion of clean energy development. In the future, Yuchai will also continue to unswervingly implement the new development concepts, follow a high-quality development path that prioritizes ecology and is green and low-carbon, and constantly innovate to promote sustainable development.
