On April 18th, Hefei J-Link Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. (J-Link Electronics) officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Yuchai Xinlan New Energy Power Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yuchai Xinlan"), a core enterprise of Yuchai Group's new energy strategy.

Fan Chaoqun, Secretary and Deputy General Manager of Yuchai Xinlan Party Branch, and Chen Zhaoyin, Chairman of J-Link Electronics, signed a strategic cooperation agreement on behalf of both parties. Liu Kang, Vice President and Chief Engineer of Motor and Electronic Control Development at Yuchai Xinlan New Energy Power Research Institute, Zhao Zhijun, Deputy General Manager of J-Link Electronics, and Zuo Yuxin, Sales Manager of Key Customers, witnessed the signing of the contract together.

Technology empowers industrial upgrading

Building a New Energy Power Ecological Circle Together

According to the agreement, both parties will use technological innovation as the engine, focus on the research and development of new energy power electronic control systems and high-voltage platforms, and work together to create a closed loop of the entire industry chain from modules to system level solutions, accelerating the large-scale application of new energy power technology in the field of heavy equipment.

At the symposium, Fan Chaoqun, Secretary of the Party Branch of Yuchai Xinlan, emphasized that "the deep binding with J-Link Electronics is a deep cooperation of Yuchai's new energy strategic layout. Both sides will jointly create a complete technical closed loop of system level solutions, build technical standards and industrial highlands in the field of new energy power, and provide cleaner and more efficient new energy power choices for global customers

Comprehensive deepening of strategic cooperation

Creating a paradigm for technological collaborative innovation

In this cooperation, both parties will jointly develop motor controller products for multiple application scenarios, fully adapted to high-end commercial vehicles and engineering machinery scenarios, and provide customized solutions for more than 20 models such as agricultural machinery and mining trucks, helping customers achieve a win-win situation of energy efficiency improvement and cost optimization.

J-Link Electronics Chairman Chen Zhaoyin said at the signing ceremony, "Currently, J-Link Electronics has more than 80 core patents, with doctoral and senior engineers accounting for over 52% of the R&D team, and has established joint laboratories with multiple top universities to continuously strengthen technical barriers. This cooperation is a perfect complement between 'technology cultivators' and' scene giants'. Yuchai Xinlan's global resources in the field of power system integration are deeply integrated with J-Link Electronics' cutting-edge technology breakthroughs, and will build an independent and controllable domestic industrial chain

After the successful signing ceremony, Secretary Fan and his delegation embarked on a deep industry inspection tour of J-Link Electronics, visiting the company's technology exhibition hall, SiC power module packaging production line, and electric control drive manufacturing production line. Zhao Zhijun, Deputy General Manager of J-Link Electronics, systematically explained the vertical ecology of the enterprise's "SiC power module motor controller electric drive assembly" based on the "technology evolution tree".

During the inspection process, Secretary Fan specifically pointed out that the technological moat constructed by J-Link Electronics with system thinking, especially the full chain autonomous controllability of SiC power module motor controller electric drive assembly and the "cooperative factory minute response" mode, provide replicable solutions for the innovation of new energy vehicle electric drive systems. "

Forward looking layout

Building Global Competitiveness

Currently, with the deepening of the "dual carbon" target, the global new energy engineering machinery market is exploding at an average annual growth rate of 45%.

Yuchai Xinlan, as the core unit of Yuchai Group's new energy power sector, is deeply engaged in the research and development of hybrid, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel cell power systems. It has a leading domestic reserve of engineering machinery powertrain technology and industrialization capabilities, and has set industry benchmarks in extreme working condition adaptability, energy efficiency management, and intelligent control.

J-Link Electronics will leverage this strategic partnership to deeply integrate with Yuchai's global service system, opening a new chapter of leapfrog development from technological breakthroughs to industrial landing, and creating an innovative model of "joint research and development+collaborative overseas".

In the future, J-Link Electronics will adhere to "hard technology" as the anchor point, plan its layout with a global perspective, continue to increase technology research and development and production capacity construction, lead the new energy power track with innovation acceleration, and inject strong momentum into the high-quality development of the industry.
