Power exhibitions bring together renowned engine brands such as Cummins, Volvo, MTU, Shangchai, Yuchai, Perkins, Deutz, Scania, Briggs & Stratton, Fiat, and more. The introduction to engines is as follows: Engine: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. Brief Description: The engine block forms the skeleton of the engine and serves as the installation base for all its mechanisms and systems. It houses all major components and accessories of the engine, both internally and externally, and withstands various loads. Therefore, the engine block must have sufficient strength and rigidity. The engine block assembly mainly consists of components such as the cylinder block, cylinder liner, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket.
When I was researching, I noticed that most mainstream global automakers develop their own engines, but there actually aren't many independent manufacturers specializing solely in engines. Common examples like Ford's Ecoboost and Toyota's Dynamic Force series are in-house technologies from major manufacturers. However, some niche performance cars commission specialized engine manufacturers for custom builds. For instance, Koenigsegg's twin-turbo V8 is made by British company Cosworth, which also supplies engines for Formula 1 racing. In the commercial vehicle sector, there's greater reliance on independent brands - Cummins diesel engines are particularly common in trucks. Some brands like Mazda have unique technologies; their Skyactiv-X compression-ignition gasoline engine is considered cutting-edge. Recently, Chinese brands have made significant progress - Changan's Blue Whale engines are approaching Toyota's thermal efficiency, and Chery's Kunpeng hybrid system boasts impressive specifications.
