From Narrative to Realized Growth: Under the AIDC Wave, Weichai Power’s Data Center Generator Sales in the First Half of 2026 Surpass Full-Year Sales of Last Year

Weifang, China, September 10, 2026 -- Weichai Power’s power and energy business is entering a period of significant performance realization. According to the company’s latest 2026 semi-annual report released on the evening of August 27, the profit contribution of its power and energy segment has increased to 20%, becoming a core growth engine supporting the company’s high-quality development.

According to the report, Weichai Power achieved operating revenue of RMB 123.16 billion in the first half of 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.8%; net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 7.7 billion, surging 36.5% year-on-year, with profit growth significantly outpacing revenue growth. Against the backdrop of steady overall business growth, the rise of the company’s power and energy business became the biggest highlight of the semi-annual report. Its data center power generation products have successfully transitioned from market expectations and strategic narratives into tangible business performance.

The realization of growth is also reflected in a series of operating indicators, including sales volume contribution and delivery of high-end products. In the first half of the year, sales of Weichai Power’s M-series engines, representing the high-end high-power segment, reached 6,700 units, a year-on-year increase of 31.5%. Particularly noteworthy is the performance of its data center generator products, with sales exceeding 1,400 units in the first half of the year, already surpassing the total sales volume of the previous full year. This directly demonstrates that the strong demand from the AIDC industry has been converted into actual product deliveries.

A multi-level product portfolio is steadily opening up broader market opportunities both domestically and overseas. In the first half of 2026, Weichai Power’s diesel generator products successfully entered the core supply chains of the world’s leading data centers and major cloud service providers, breaking through a market landscape long dominated by overseas competitors. Gas engines are taking on the role of a key mid-term growth driver. Related products have successfully obtained certifications including CE and UL, securing critical access to strategic markets. Industry trends indicate that due to delays in grid expansion, many overseas cloud providers are increasing their procurement of gas-powered generator sets to overcome grid connection bottlenecks, accelerating the expansion of the gas power generation market.

Looking toward the long-term zero-carbon distributed energy sector, Weichai Power’s SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) technology has completed key product development and certification preparations. The company’s SOFC systems are understood to have achieved power generation efficiency exceeding 60%, while delivering more than 30% carbon reduction compared with natural gas generator sets, providing a clean power supply solution for data centers. In the first half of this year, Weichai Power, together with its subsidiary Baudouin, established a strategic cooperation agreement with a major French customer, accelerating the transformation of technological advantages into market advantages.

In addition, the company has deepened business model innovation. During the first half of the year, it integrated multiple core solutions, including photovoltaic power, energy storage, solar-storage-charging systems, SOFC, and generator sets, and launched microgrid solutions. In the power and energy sector, Weichai Power is making a comprehensive transition from a “traditional energy solutions provider” toward a high-end business model centered on “green energy system solutions + comprehensive services + ecosystem collaboration.”

The development of Weichai Power’s power and energy business aligns with the strong growth cycle of the global AIDC power equipment market. The delivery cycle of power generation products has become a critical constraint for the deployment of overseas computing centers, and the market is even willing to pay premiums for faster delivery. Positioned at the forefront of this industry trend, Weichai Power has demonstrated strong competitive capabilities by building a comprehensive product portfolio covering diesel backup generators, gas-powered generation, and SOFC-based primary power generation solutions. Combined with rapid delivery capabilities and a comprehensive service system, these strengths provide a solid foundation for further market share expansion.

Multiple international financial institutions continue to recognize the growth potential of Weichai Power’s power and energy business. Institutions including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase believe that the company’s high-growth business segment has not yet been fully reflected in market valuations. Industry analysts indicate that Weichai Power’s AIDC power and energy business has entered a phase of accelerated volume growth. Diesel power generation products have achieved large-scale deliveries, while gas generation and SOFC fuel cell technologies are following closely, with the potential to continue driving the company’s future performance growth.
