As the shipping industry accelerates toward decarbonization, demand for greener and smarter marine power systems is rising fast. Shandong-based Weichai Power presented its latest green and intelligent marine power solutions at the World Maritime Equipment Conference 2026, held in Fuzhou, Fujian province, from Oct 16 to 19. The company aims to advance green-intelligent integration and support sustainable development across the blue economy.

Weichai showcased a comprehensive portfolio spanning traditional, clean, and new energy. The lineup included M+WH series diesel engines, methanol engines, marine battery packs, and silent generator sets, covering applications from high-end yachts and official vessels to inland cargo ships and ocean-going vessels.
