Weichai Power has invested more than 2 billion yuan over a period of 4 years to build this laboratory, which covers an area of 7,000 square meters, with a building area of 28,000 square meters, and has 46 independent laboratory compartments, covering the new energy power battery, fuel cell technology, emission upgrading and post-processing, electronic control technology, high reliability friction and wear technology, lubrication technology and other cutting-edge basic research fields. As the world's largest comprehensive multi-source power laboratory, it boasts the industry's top nanometer-level test equipment in the world, as well as the world's leading test capabilities for the three major R&D platforms of vehicle and machinery, new energy commercial vehicle power system, and future technologies.

Looking around the world, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change are advancing rapidly, and the integration of science and technology with economic and social development is accelerating. The future technology laboratory is a scientific research and test equipment resource set up by Weichai Power for the next 20 years, which shoulders the three important tasks of building a first-class results output platform, a synergistic pivot of innovative resources, and an incubation base for top brains more quickly. In the future, the laboratory will be based on Weichai, serve the vehicle and machinery business of Shandong Heavy Industry Group, and provide innovation support for the whole industrial chain.
