Weichai, a China-based engine OEM which is part of the Shandong Heavy Industry Group, has reported achieving a 30% local market share in Côte d’Ivoire, in western Africa.

Côte d’Ivoire also has rich mineral resources where mining operations must have constant power to maintain production.

Weichai states that it has ‘gradually expanded its market share in Côte d’Ivoire’. Continuing, it noted that within two years of entering the market is has provided ‘hundreds of generator sets’ for local projects, including irrigation projects and new industrial parks.

The company claims that is has become the preferred brand for both the national government and local business enterprises.

Looking to the future, Weichai is planning to improve its global market offering to deliver customised power generation solutions for such infrastructure as data centres and oil and gas field development.
