At a glance
The WP8H comes from an original Weichai diesel engine supplier and is built as an Inline unit, with 8.2 L displacement. Rated output spans 235–279 kW (320–380 Ps). Peak torque reaches 1600 N·m. It is supplied to meet Euro VI emission requirements. Typical duty is rear-engine bus service.
Product Overview
The WP8H continues the mature high-end Weichai power platform, validated by endurance testing in the most extreme high-temperature, cold and high-altitude environments, with strong overall stability and market-proven reliability. Its low-speed high-torque design gives an outstanding peak-torque figure with ample power for starts and mountain climbs, suiting every complex operating duty. A highly modular layout with a high degree of parts commonality and extended oil-change intervals keeps maintenance simple and the cost of use lower.
Product Advantages
- Advanced design. A modular layout with topology-optimised manufacturing brings the mass per litre down to 81.2 kg/L and the engine weight to only 666 kg, a clear lightweighting advantage.
- Robust and durable. Vermicular-graphite iron block, forged steel crankshaft and a high-strength structure that withstands peak firing pressure of 25 MPa.
- Strong power. Torque above 1,500 N·m at 1000 r/min and maximum torque of 1,600 N·m, with the capability to upgrade to 1,800 N·m.
