Designed for the Chinese market, the H Series engines integrate mature technologies from international advanced engines and UK RICARDO manufacturing. Key advantages include a compact structure, wide power coverage, high reliability, excellent fuel economy, and low vibration/noise. They are ideal for 50~150kW generator sets.

2. D Series

Power Range: 185~255kW

Jointly developed by Shangchai and Austria’s AVL, with enhanced design in collaboration with the U.S. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in 2005. This series boasts high reliability and fuel efficiency, representing one of China’s most technically advanced mature engines with recent design origins. Sold for nearly 20 years with over 1 million units in the market, it is the preferred power source for 150~200kW prime generator sets.

3. E Series

Power Range: 307~370kW

Co-designed by Shangchai and AVL, the E Series leverages international engine application technologies and world-class equipment, manufactured to SAIC MOTOR standards. It offers optional electronic control high-pressure common rail and electronic speed-regulating mechanical pump fuel systems. Notable features include safety, reliability, strong power, and superior economic advantages compared to peers, suitable for 250~300kW domestic mid-to-high-end prime generator sets.

4. 13G/15G Series

Power Range: 187~373kW

Upgraded from the original G128 diesel engine, the SC13G/15G Series delivers significant improvements in quality, reliability, fuel economy, vibration control, and appearance. Most parts are interchangeable with the original model, and it is built to SAIC MOTOR standards, serving as the first-choice power for 160~300kW prime generator sets.

5. 25G/27G Series

Power Range: 445~662kW

Derived from the modified 12V135 diesel engine, the SC25/26G Series features comprehensive enhancements in quality, reliability, fuel economy, vibration, and appearance—with the SC27G model extending the stroke to 155mm. Most components are compatible with the original version, and it is produced to SAIC MOTOR standards, making it the optimal match for 350~550kW general-purpose generator sets.

6. W Series

Power Range: 726kW

Engineered to meet high-power demands in the generator set market, the W Series achieves internationally advanced technical指标.
