For the purchase of Hunan Torch and major shareholders

In the industry, it was widely reported that Weichai Powers did not hesitate to rebel with China National Heavy Duty Truck Group for the acquisition of the S Xiang torch.

It is understood that the Weichai Power Plant, the controlling shareholder of Weichai Power, was confirmed by the then National Economic Council in 1984 as a designated diesel plant for China National Heavy Duty Truck. It is wholly owned by China National Heavy Duty Truck.

In the same year, in order to solve the “absence” of China's auto industry, China’s heavy-duty truck affiliate company imported Steyr technology from Austria’s Steyr, and Austria’s full-scale transfer of Steyr 91 series vehicles and WD series engine products and processes. Standards and other aspects of technology. China National Heavy Duty Truck Group officially settled the Steyr engine project at Weifang Diesel Engine Factory, which laid a solid foundation for WeiChai's development.

After the outbreak of the Delong crisis in 2004, the quality assets of the Hunan Torch also attracted the interest of China National Heavy Duty Truck and Weichai Power. At that time, the Hunan Torch owned "four gold assets", namely Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, Fast, Zhuzhou Spark Plug and Dongfeng SUV. Among them, Shaanxi Zhongqi, Fast Transmission and spark plug business have become star enterprises with industry influence. The Hunan Torch has more than 51% stake in Shaanxi Auto and Shaanxi Fast, and the two companies are very profitable.

If Weichai Power successfully acquires the Hunan Torch, it will indirectly control Shaanxi Steam, posing a threat to China National Heavy Duty Truck Group. Therefore, in the pre-acquisition period, China National Heavy Duty Truck, as the largest shareholder of Weichai Power, firmly opposed its acquisition of the Hunan Torch. However, Weichai Power was not moved, and it still obtained control of the listed company through its Weichai Power (Weifang) Investment Co., Ltd.
