As the marine transport industry increasingly demands powerful, efficient, and eco-friendly solutions, the Weichai WP17T has established itself as one of the most reliable engines on the market today. With advanced technology and outstanding performance, the WP17T not only helps reduce operating costs but also ensures stability and durability under all working conditions.

1. Powerful Performance – Exceptional Fuel Efficiency
Renowned as a “super fuel-saving engine,” the WP17T delivers remarkable economic efficiency for shipowners.
With a power range of 550–800 HP and a steady speed of 1800 rpm, the engine runs smoothly while maintaining a perfect balance between power and fuel economy. This makes the WP17T especially suitable for cargo vessels of 1400–2000 tons and luxury passenger ships, which require both high output and reliability.
2. Advanced Technology – Optimized Operation
Weichai integrates a range of advanced technologies to ensure the WP17T performs at its best:
- The turbocharging and intercooling system maintains consistent power even under demanding conditions.
- The high-pressure Common Rail fuel system guarantees precise fuel injection for cleaner and more efficient combustion. The system features explosion-proof and leakage-warning fuel lines for maximum safety.
- Notably, the design allows fuel filter replacement without stopping the engine, saving time and improving operational efficiency.
3. Smart Design – Easy Maintenance
Beyond performance, the WP17T is engineered for convenience and ease of service:
- The dual-spin-on oil filter is positioned high for easier inspection and replacement.
- The compact heat exchanger and intercooler save space and provide flexible installation within different engine room layouts.
These thoughtful design elements reflect Weichai’s philosophy of “High Power – High Efficiency – Easy Maintenance.”
4. A Reliable Choice for the Future
With over 75 years of experience in engine manufacturing, Weichai continues to lead in developing green, efficient, and durable power solutions. The WP17T is a clear embodiment of that commitment – a perfect choice for marine operators seeking to enhance productivity and achieve long-term cost efficiency.
