SYDNEY, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- From May 16 to 18, Australia's largest construction machinery exhibition — The National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo (DDT) — grandly opened in Sydney. Weichai showcased its Baudouin M-series 6M33 pump diesel engine and 20M33 large-bore generator set at the event.
At the exhibition site, the 20M33 large-bore generator set showcased itself as a "high-performance beauty," featuring a high-strength alloy steel crankshaft for enhanced structural integrity. Equipped with Weichai's proprietary ECU system optimized through advanced algorithms, it demonstrates exceptional step-loading capabilities. The standard high-flow fuel filter extends oil change intervals, effectively reducing operational costs.
The 6M33 pump diesel engine also attracted crowds of clients at the event. Its critical components have undergone rigorous testing and market validation, ensuring high strength and reliability. Capable of operating in high-temperature environments up to 50°C, it has already accumulated over 12,000 hours of service in an Indonesian mine. With comprehensive system optimization, it achieves a minimum fuel consumption rate of 187.4 g/kWh.
Leveraging advantages such as ultra-low fuel consumption, excellent transient load response, and superior noise reduction capabilities, Weichai's M-series large-bore engines have been widely adopted across diverse sectors including data centers, oil and gas, healthcare, high-altitude regions, railways, field rescue operations, and agriculture. The brand continues to strengthen its competitiveness in the global high-end power market.

GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.
ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.
The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.
Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.
Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."
This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
