Above the 50% brake thermal efficiency engine launched! While the European producers are struggling with the ridiculous tail-pipe focusing regulations the Chinese Weichai just passed us with wide margin. They did on the field where EU had clear advantage before. From 13 l diesel engine 560 brake horsepower and 50,26 peak break thermal efficiency, ready to produce, fulfil the Euro VI emission level. Congrats for Weichai! Strong signal for Europe. Just imagine, over 55% can be harnessed using methane instead of diesel. No any electric traction system (system means not only the electric motor but also the energy supply chain!) can get close to this energy efficiency and of course to that low overall emission. https://lnkd.in/eWJZhcN #weichai #energy #naturalgas #ngv #cleanfuel #lng #fuel #daimler #scania #man #volvotrucks #ivecotrucks #mercedesbenztrucks #betterthanev
