Yuchai mainly sold 4F engines and a small part of 4W engines in 2014, whose sales were far from the company's sales target of 90,000 units in five years. When asked the key challenge faced by Yuchai in passenger vehicle engine sales, Zhang Liyuan, business manager of the Department of Passenger Vehicle Engine Marketing, said, "The biggest difficulty we face in passenger vehicle engine sales is no products for marketing. Our products and platforms are single."
