Since 2006, Weichai Power managed by Tan Xuguang (Sun Heping) has completely parted ways with Sinotruk managed by Ma Chunji (Yangliu). These two companies, which are like a father-son relationship, seem to never see each other again.
Tan Xuguang took Weichai and Sinotruk to "separate" and set up their own business. After the "separation", Weichai has become prosperous, and has acquired Yangchai Power, Yangzhou Yaxing Bus, French Baudouin, Italian Ferretti, German Kion and other companies, and led the establishment of Shandong Heavy Industry Group in 2009. Of course, he himself became the leader of Shandong Heavy Industry Group.
Tan Xuguang has said more than once that "Diesel is in my blood", and he is constantly practicing this sentence through practical actions. Occupy the market through the crazy expansion of "not striving for the first place". The market of Weichai engine applications has spread from heavy trucks to multiple markets such as construction machinery, ship power generation, and passenger cars. The products have also spanned from a single engine to multiple industrial chains such as commercial vehicles, marine power, and passenger cars, and have grown from the domestic market. Towards the international market. By 2012, Weichai Power had become a multinational conglomerate with an annual revenue of over 100 billion.
12 years later, that is, in 2018, Tan Xuguang Gaoguang returned to Sinotruk, replacing Ma Chunji as the leader of Sinotruk, and is about to start a "revenge-style" dissident purge and system reform.
