An unveiling ceremony for Dalian Yuchai Turbocharging Technology R&D Center Co., Ltd., held together with a ceremony establishing the Yuchai Scholarship, recently took place at Dalian Jiaotong University. The founding of the company marks a formal partnership between Yuchai and Dalian Jiaotong University, which aims to break through international barriers in turbocharging technology and jointly build a world-class industrial base for turbocharging technology and a distribution base for high-tech turbocharging products.
Founding ceremony
The ceremony was attended by Yan Ping, Chairman of the Board of Yuchai Group; Ge Jiping, Party Secretary of Dalian Jiaotong University; Li Xuewei, President of the university; Lu Lin, Party Working Committee Secretary and Director of the Administrative Committee of the Dalian Free Trade Zone; and Zhou Sunhai, Vice President of Yuchai Group.

It also lays a more solid technical foundation for Yuchai's entry into marine and power-generation engines.
