For the first time, the thermal efficiency of domestic natural gas engine set a world record.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen slax01 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 22, according to the Science and Technology Daily, the current average thermal efficiency of natural gas engines worldwide is 42%, of which Swedish Volvo trucks won the global championship with a value of 47.6%.

On November 20, Weichai released the world's first commercial diesel engine with a thermal efficiency of 52.28% and a natural gas engine of 54.16%.

Data show that Weichai once again set a new global record of 52.28% after the thermal efficiency of diesel engines broke through 50.23% in 2020 and 51.09% in January this year.

CTOnews.com learned that Weichai said that the thermal efficiency of the natural gas engine exceeded 54.16% for the first time in the world, which was a revolutionary subversion to the internal combustion engine industry. For the first time, the thermal efficiency of the natural gas engine surpassed the diesel engine and became the thermal machinery with the highest thermal efficiency.
