Weichai diesel engine horsepower and models include: 1. Weichai bus engines: Blue Core WP12 National III/IV, WP10/WP6/WP4 National III diesel engines for buses, WD615 series diesel engines for buses, 226B series diesel engines for buses, WT615/226B series gas engines for buses. 2. Weichai truck engines: Blue Core WP12 National III/IV, WP10/WP6/WP4 National III diesel engines for trucks, Weichai WD12 series diesel engines for trucks, WD615 series diesel engines for trucks, 226B series diesel engines for trucks. 3. Weichai marine engines: Weichai WP12C series marine diesel engines, Weichai Deutz 226B series marine diesel engines, Weichai WD615 series marine diesel engines, Weichai WD618 series marine diesel engines, Weichai R6160 series marine diesel engines, Weichai X170ZC series marine diesel engines (including 6170, 8170), Weichai CW200ZC series marine diesel engines.
I've been driving transport trucks for over a decade and often use Weichai diesel engines. Models like the WP10 have horsepower ranging between 300 to 400, while the WP12 is slightly higher at around 350 to 430 horsepower. They're quite reliable for long-haul cargo transport. Horsepower directly determines the strength of the engine—sufficient horsepower makes climbing hills easier and saves time. However, it's important not to neglect maintenance. I check the engine oil and air filters every quarter to prevent carbon buildup from affecting horsepower. The newly launched WP13 model can reach 440 to 500 horsepower, offering higher efficiency and better fuel economy, making it ideal for logistics needs. The key takeaway is matching horsepower to the application scenario—for urban deliveries, the WP10 level is sufficient, avoiding unnecessary fuel consumption from excessive power. If horsepower suddenly drops, it might be due to a dirty fuel system requiring cleaning, and addressing it early prevents major repairs. Safety comes first on long hauls, and stable horsepower ensures smooth operation.
