Recently, the Yuchai Mengqing YCK16 engine, paired with the SANY SY980H large hydraulic excavator, achieved record highs in both monthly orders and installations, marking a substantive breakthrough for domestically produced high-horsepower engines in the high-end mining equipment sector.

The YCK16 diesel engine is a high-end powerplant developed by Yuchai for the mining market. With a displacement of 16 liters, a maximum output of 775 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 3,200 N·m, it is suitable for 75-90-ton class crawler excavators and 90-100-ton payload mining trucks, making it an ideal power choice for high-end mining equipment.

This model is specifically designed for extreme operating conditions, demonstrating outstanding adaptability in harsh environments such as high altitudes and severe cold, ensuring stable output during continuous high-intensity operations. End users have commented that it "delivers performance comparable to imported models at a more advantageous cost." The SANY SY980H excavator equipped with this engine has achieved a maximum cumulative stable operating time of nearly 20,000 hours, fully verifying its excellent durability and reliability.

This breakthrough has successfully broken the long-standing monopoly of international brands in the power market for large mining excavators, further consolidating Yuchai's leading position in the engineering machinery power sector. At the same time, it highlights SANY's strong capabilities in the research, development, and manufacturing of high-performance excavators, and reinforces both parties' commitment to deeper cooperation in the large mining equipment sector in the future.
