Engine line
Yuchai Diesel Generators
Yuchai is the cost-competitive engine line with the widest dealer presence in the Philippines and Indonesia: a Chinese industrial diesel quoted as a new build, where the local parts chain decides as much of the answer as the engine does.
A Yuchai set is configured for the destination before it is built. The Philippines takes 60 Hz at 220/440 V; Indonesia and Vietnam take 50 Hz at 380/220 V. The set leaves the works wound and set for one of them, so the frequency is settled at the enquiry rather than converted afterwards.

Questions
Questions we are asked about Yuchai sets
Do you hold Yuchai sets in stock?
No. The Yuchai line is quoted against a requirement, and the set is configured for the destination and built for its voltage and frequency. The used stock we hold is listed on the Cummins, Volvo, Deutz, Perkins, Daewoo and Mercedes-Benz pages.
Which frequency will the set be built for?
The destination decides it. The Philippines runs at 60 Hz and 1800 rpm; Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia run at 50 Hz and 1500 rpm. A set wound and set for one of them cannot be used on the other, so the frequency is fixed when the order is placed rather than converted afterwards.
Where is Yuchai supported in Southeast Asia?
Yuchai has an established dealer and parts presence in the Philippines and Indonesia in particular, which is the practical reason the line is quoted in those two markets: filters, belts and injectors are a local purchase rather than an import. On a remote site, name the province in the enquiry and the answer states what the local chain can reach.
What alternator is paired with the engine?
Stamford, Leroy-Somer or Marathon unless a tender names another. The alternator make, model and insulation class are quoted with every set, because on a new build the alternator is where a quotation is most often quietly downgraded.
Can you quote against a tender document?
Yes. Send the tender or the technical specification and we return a quotation for the clauses that affect the set: rating and duty, enclosure and noise, control and transfer, documentation and factory testing. Where a clause names a brand or a standard, say so in the enquiry so that the answer addresses it rather than working around it.
