At a glance
The WP3N comes from an original Weichai diesel engine supplier and is built as an Inline unit, with 2.97 L displacement. Rated output spans 116–147 kW (158–210 Ps). Peak torque reaches 600 N·m. It is supplied to meet China Stage VI emission requirements. Typical duty is front-engine bus service.
Product Overview
The Weichai WP3N is a new-generation high-end platform product building on the mature technology of the N series. It has passed demanding endurance evaluation in high temperature, extreme cold and high altitude, as well as on bench and drum test rigs, with B10 life of 800,000 km and outstanding reliability. Maximum power of 147 kW and maximum torque of 600 N·m give greater torque and output in its displacement class for strong starts and climbing. Modular design with compact accessory packaging and a high commonality rate across service items such as the oil filter, alternator and starter makes servicing easy and operation worry-free.
Product Advantages
- High reliability. Cast-iron cylinder head and strengthened block give a higher overall level of reinforcement, with B10 life of 800,000 km to suit different operating conditions.
- Low fuel consumption. Calibration based on real operating conditions places the common working zone close to the engine minimum fuel-consumption area, cutting vehicle fuel consumption by 1.5 L per 100 km against same-power products.
- Excellent NVH. A standard two-stage balance mechanism effectively reduces vibration and noise; noise in the common operating zone is 2.5-4 dB(A) lower, and 4 dB(A) lower at the rated point, than competing products.
- Wide adaptability. Modular design with parts common across the N platform keeps maintenance cost low.
