Shanghai New Power Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., which belongs to Shangchai Power Engine, holds an important position in the industry. Its predecessor was Shanghai Diesel Engine Co., Ltd., which can be traced back to 1947. After development, it was restructured into a state-owned holding company that issued A and B shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1993. In 2008, it entered SAIC Group as a whole and completed asset restructuring in 2021, forming a dual coordinated development pattern of "vehicle+powertrain" and "traditional power+new energy power". It is now under SAIC Group. The company not only has a nationally certified enterprise technology center and postdoctoral workstation, but also has established a quality management system for passenger car standards, equipped with advanced automation and digital production lines.
In terms of technological research and development, Shangchai Power has achieved remarkable results. Taking the H series as an example, as a new generation four valve engine, it is designed jointly by RICARDO from the UK based on the characteristics of the Chinese market, referencing international cutting-edge engine technology and mature experience, and following the SAIC MOTOR standard, using the GPDP development process. The first engine in the market to adopt four valve technology comes from the H-series platform product, which has a high swirl ratio and can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10% compared to its competitors in the same class. The 7H diesel engine adopts the DOC+DPF+SCR technology route, and the post-treatment adopts a straight layout, which not only ensures the appearance of the product but also improves its performance; The 4H diesel engine adopts the EGR+DOC+DPF technology route, which complements the advantages of the 7H engine and further optimizes the overall performance.
The product line is extremely rich and can meet diverse needs in different fields. The E-series engine is jointly designed with AVL of Austria to build a new power platform based on SAIC MOTOR standards, benchmarking the international commercial vehicle engine model and meeting the stringent requirements of high reliability, high efficiency, and low fuel consumption for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. With a displacement of 10L to 13L, it is highly favored in the fields of construction machinery and agricultural machinery due to its excellent reliability and low fuel consumption, and is commonly used in equipment such as silage machines and large tractors. The D series was jointly designed with AVL company in Austria, and later collaborated with Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in the United States to strengthen the design and upgrade the four valves. It has been selling well for 20 years and has a social ownership of over 1 million units. The products meet the National VI emission standards and are widely used in automotive cranes, heavy-duty trucks, and other products.
It is worth mentioning its high-power engine products. For example, the 25K engine is designed to meet the demand for high power and emission upgrades in the marine and power plant markets. This engine has good reliability, high transmission efficiency, efficient combustion process, meets the National III emission standards for power plants, is easy to use and maintain, and has low fuel consumption. In practical applications, such as when used on a 60 meter cargo ship, it starts quickly at full load, has strong power for reverse flow navigation, and has sensitive power response. In addition, there are W series and K series engines. The W series is a newly designed product to meet the high-power demand of the generator set supporting market, with various technical indicators reaching the international advanced level; The K series refers to internationally renowned brand engines and is designed and manufactured strictly in accordance with SAIC GPDP automotive standards, meeting the high-power and emission upgrade requirements of the power station market. These high-power engines are widely used in industries with high power requirements such as emergency and shipping. In the emergency industry, the E-series emergency diesel engine has a wide range of displacement and power coverage, fast response speed, large power and torque reserves, and multiple starting, speed regulation, and cooling methods to cope with complex emergency scenarios. In terms of environmental protection, Shangchai Power actively responds to national policies, and its engine products meet emission standards. Through advanced emission control technology, it reduces exhaust emissions and improves fuel efficiency.
With profound technological accumulation, rich and diverse product system, strong and reliable power performance, and excellent environmental performance, Shangchai Power Engine has won a good reputation in the market and is deeply recognized and trusted by users in various industries, continuously providing solid power support for the development of many fields.
