The Weichai WP10 engine is an indispensable presence for domestic loaders. If every loader manufacturing company were to post a "declaration of love" on Weibo like a certain celebrity, most of the content released by these companies would likely be, "Hello everyone, let me introduce you to my engine @Weichai WP10." This is especially true for companies that sell well in the 5-ton loader market.
In the first eight months of this year, the 24 major loader manufacturing companies included in the statistics sold a total of 64,335 various loaders, an increase of 41.11% compared to 45,592 units in the same period of 2016. The annual sales of loaders are expected to reach 90,000 to 95,000 units. Among them, the 5-ton loader remains the most favored by the market, with a sales share of 62.15% in the first eight months. In recent years, Weichai engines have captured over 80% of the market share for 5-ton loaders, meaning that for every three 5-ton loaders sold, two are equipped with the Weichai WP10 engine.

According to editors from China Construction Machinery Business Network, currently, mainstream domestic loader manufacturers such as Shandong Lingong, Liugong, Xugong, and Xiamen XGMA generally equip their 5-ton loader products with Weichai WP10 engines. For example, the sales star products like Shandong Lingong L952 and Liugong CLG850H are equipped with the Weichai 162kw WP10 engine.
In fact, before the implementation of the National III emission standards for non-road mobile machinery, the 5-ton loaders on the market were mainly equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine. The WP10 engine is a new generation diesel engine product developed and designed by Weichai based on the WD615 engine, using the BOSCH electronic control common rail system, meeting the National III emission standards, and featuring superior fuel economy, excellent low-temperature starting performance, and lower noise.
Today, with the recovery of the domestic loader market, more and more WP10 engines are fighting across the country, writing a new chapter of brilliance for "Made in China."
