Making a deal in China
Ricardo has struck a deal with Sinotruk to assist the company with the design and development of new products.
UK-based Ricardo has struck a deal with China’s biggest heavy-duty truck manufacturer Sinotruk to assist the company with the design and development of new products.
The agreement signed between the two companies coincided with the launch of the company’s HAEP WD615 engine which had been upgraded as a result of previous work between the two companies. The re-engineered engine not only meets the Euro 3 emissions certification now required in China, but has also been up-rated by 11 per cent to 400hp.
Founded in 1956, Sinotruk was China’s first as well its now largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer. The company’s core products include tractors, tippers, cargo trucks and other customised trucks such as concrete mixers, cranes and garbage trucks. In addition to vehicles, Sinotruk also manufactures many of its own components including diesel engines. The company markets its products in more than 50 countries worldwide and over the past five years has enjoyed sales growth of over 60 per cent.
