Strategic Acquisition Enhances Powertrain Solutions at Yuchai

China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE: CYD) strengthens its market position through a recent acquisition that significantly boosts its operational control and supply chain capabilities. The company announces the acquisition of an approximate 27.97% equity stake in Nanyue Diankong (Hengyang) Industrial Technology Company Limited (NYDK), amounting to 83,918,495 shares for around RMB 176.2 million. This strategic investment positions Yuchai as the second-largest shareholder of NYDK, a recognized leader in high-tech fuel injection systems, including common rail systems and mechanical pumps. The integration of NYDK's technological expertise into Yuchai's product line is expected to enhance the overall efficiency and performance of its powertrain solutions.

In conjunction with the acquisition, Yuchai establishes a concerted action agreement with Hunan Hengyang Auto Parts Factory, which holds the largest stake in NYDK. This agreement grants Yuchai operational control, allowing it to nominate six out of nine board directors and appoint its general manager. Such governance rights enable Yuchai to effectively steer the direction of NYDK, ensuring that its innovative fuel injection technologies are fully leveraged to meet the growing demands of the automotive market. This acquisition aligns with Yuchai's broader strategy to enhance its supply chain for critical components, thereby solidifying its competitive advantage in the powertrain sector.

Founded in 1951, Yuchai has a rich history of designing and manufacturing engines for various applications, including trucks and marine power generation. With a robust research and development framework, Yuchai continues to maintain a significant presence in the Chinese market and has successfully expanded into international territories. The acquisition of NYDK not only reinforces Yuchai's operational capabilities but also reflects its commitment to delivering high-quality products and after-sales support. As the company looks ahead, the integration of NYDK’s innovative technologies into its offerings is poised to elevate Yuchai’s market share and reinforce its leadership in the powertrain industry.
