en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ethiopia's first oil-to-gas converted bus, powered by Weichai's core technology and full-process technical support, has officially entered trial operation, marking a breakthrough for the country in achieving zero natural gas buses.

Weichai has been deeply rooted in the Ethiopian market for 13 years, with its bus power products holding the top market share in the country. As the local energy structure transformation accelerates, Weichai has led the implementation of the first oil-to-gas conversion project in the country's public transport sector, leveraging its mature gas power integrated solutions to provide a full-chain one-stop service covering "solution design, technical implementation, and after-sales support."

Weichai has deployed a dedicated technical team for in-depth collaboration. The team has developed a cost-effective customized conversion plan, reducing conversion costs while ensuring performance. Additionally, a tailored natural gas engine has been developed, along with vehicle system debugging and performance calibration to ensure stable operation.

For local service stations and bus companies, Weichai has launched specialized training on natural gas engine maintenance, covering both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, to strengthen local operational and maintenance capabilities.

The vehicles in this oil-to-gas conversion project are equipped with Weichai's WP10NG natural gas engine, which features strong power output, high efficiency and reliability, low gas consumption, and environmental friendliness.

With the successful trial operation of the first prototype, Weichai will continue to facilitate the delivery of 1,200 natural gas power products and supporting equipment, promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of local public transportation.
