Is the Juwang Power Engine Independently Developed?
2 Answers
Juwang Power Engine is independently developed. Juwang Power is the latest powertrain platform brand released by GAC. As a powertrain platform, it encompasses two major areas: complete engines and transmissions. The specific details are as follows: 1. Juwang Power Engines: Covering three platforms—1.5L, 2.0L, and DHE. Among them, the third-generation engine achieves a thermal efficiency exceeding 40%, with a power output of 100kW/L and torque of 200Nm/L. The fourth-generation engine boasts an even higher thermal efficiency of 42.1%, representing the leading level of thermal efficiency in gasoline engines worldwide. 2. Transmission Field: It includes three platforms—WDCT, AT, and DHT—all equipped with GAC's pioneering electro-hydraulic control system. The application of dual-clutch modules, electronic pumps, and mechanical pump dual-pump technology delivers faster shift response, more precise shift control, and higher transmission efficiency.
As a long-time enthusiast studying automotive engines, I'm very familiar with the R&D background of the GAC G-Motion engine. It is indeed an independently developed achievement by GAC Group, with a core team led by domestic engineers. During development, advanced combustion optimization technologies were adopted, such as intelligent fuel injection systems and lightweight materials, improving efficiency. In actual models like the Trumpchi GS8 and Emkoo, this engine has demonstrated reliable performance, quick starts, and low fuel consumption. Independent R&D poses significant challenges, but GAC overcame thermal management and noise control difficulties by establishing its own testing center, proving the strength of Chinese technology. For average consumers, choosing such a domestically developed engine not only supports local innovation but also offers solid performance guarantees.
