China Yuchai Supplies Bus Engines to Saudi Arabia

SINGAPORE, Feb. 24, 2017

GYMCL's engines are used in over 90% of buses in Saudi Arabia. Mecca, as the world's holiest site in Islam, receives millions of people on pilgrimage every year creating a daunting challenge for the city's transportation system. Safe and reliable mass transit is hence a high priority for the city authorities.

The model YC6MK380 is a turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel engine with a 10.34-liter displacement. The model YC6L280 is a compact, light-weight turbocharged, 6-cylinder diesel engine with an 8.42-liter displacement.

Mr. Weng Ming Hoh, President of China Yuchai, commented, "International markets are an important growth area for us and GYMCL was one of the earliest Chinese engine manufacturers to address the needs of the Saudi Arabia bus market. Our engines' reliability, pricing and proven operating performance combined with our extensive service network in the Middle East, has made us the preferred bus engine supplier in the region."
