Conclusion:

Both YCK engines excel in low maintenance costs and high parts compatibility, thanks to Yuchai's modular design.

The YCK09-60 reduces service time by 15% compared with older models - a major advantage for overseas users managing their own fleets.

4. Emission and Environmental Technology

Both YCK engines comply with China VI / Euro VI emission standards using:

*

* EGR + DOC + DPF + SCR four-in-one system
* Closed-loop fuel injection monitoring
* Yuchai i-HEC intelligent combustion algorithm

While brands like Cummins and Mercedes-Benz rely on imported post-treatment modules (increasing cost and complexity), Yuchai integrates a domestically optimized system that balances reliability with affordability.
