• LET US KNOW WD615 ENGINE ON HOWO TRUCKS

WD615 engine is a very important thing for China's heavy trucks. we can say that if there is no introduction of the Steyr platform(WD615 is only engine part), there is no heavy truck in China today. At the beginning, the Weichai and Hangzhou engine company make continuous effort to produce and develop this engine.

Before introducing the model of WD615 series, we’d better know the relations between Weichai and SINOTRUK first. When China bring STEYR in from Austria in 1980s, Weichai is only an engine producer of SINOTRUK, it is the branch company of SINOTRUK, and it also manage the Hangzhou engine co. as SINOTRUK’s agent. Later, with the development of China trucks, the business is become larger and larger, but the management for SINOTRUK is not so good, all be branches want to have their own profit instead of thinking for the whole group. Finally, Weichai departed from SINOTRUK with all the technical data and value things. SINOTRUK have to take Hangzhou engine company over and begin to produce engine without Weichai. Nowadays, both SINOTRUK and Weichai are big companies all over the world, that is why we can say some parts on WEICHAI is exactly the same with SINOTRUK products.
