## About

China Yuchai International was incorporated in Bermuda in 1993 and is headquartered operationally in Singapore, with its principal asset domiciled in Yulin, China. Weng Ming Hoh has served as President since 2020, steering the entity through the transition toward natural-gas and hybrid-compliant powertrains. The firm's economic engine is the 1951-founded Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited, in which it holds a majority stake, linking CYI's NYSE-traded equity directly to the industrial growth cycles of inland China. Its strategy is concentrated: a single operating entity manufacturing medium- and heavy-duty diesel and natural-gas engines. GYMCL's engines power trucks, buses, construction machinery, and marine vessels across China. The group also manufactures diesel power generators. In 2024, the subsidiary shipped approximately 350,000 engines, maintaining its position as a volume leader for on-road commercial vehicles. The firm's key demand drivers include China's logistics fleet replacement cycles and government-mandated emissions upgrades to China VI standards, which have consolidated market share among scaled manufacturers like Yuchai. CYI is a lean entity, maintaining no disclosed alternative investment vehicles or private equity arms. As a publicly listed vehicle (NYSE: CYD), its market capitalization reflects direct commodity and regulatory exposure. In March 2025, the firm reported its full-year 2024 results, showing a 19% year-over-year increase in revenue to RMB 20.5 billion, driven by a surge in heavy-duty engine sales to Chinese truck OEMs (per the firm's 20-F filing, April 2025). The firm's public filings remain its primary window for allocators. Structurally, CYI functions as a single-asset holding company controlled by Hong Leong Asia, a Singapore-listed industrial group, which itself is part of the Malaysian Hong Leong conglomerate controlled by the Quek family. This architecture means external investors receive minority economic exposure through a Bermuda corporation with mainland Chinese operating assets, governed by variable interest entity structures and overseen by a board weighted toward affiliates of the controlling shareholder.

## Questions

### What is China Yuchai International's relationship to Guangxi Yuchai Machinery?

China Yuchai International is a Bermuda-incorporated holding company listed on the NYSE under ticker CYD. Its primary, and effectively sole, operating asset is a majority equity stake in Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited (GYMCL), a Chinese engine manufacturer based in Yulin, Guangxi. CYI consolidates GYMCL's financials and operates as the public vehicle through which equity investors gain exposure to the engine business. It holds no other material business lines.

### Who controls China Yuchai International?

CYI is controlled by Hong Leong Asia Ltd., a Singapore-listed industrial conglomerate which itself is part of the Malaysian Hong Leong Group. The ultimate controlling shareholders are the Quek family, who exercise control through their stake in Hong Leong Asia and its subsidiaries (per the firm's 20-F annual report, 2025). Public shareholders own a minority float.

### What does Guangxi Yuchai Machinery actually manufacture?

GYMCL manufactures medium- and heavy-duty diesel, natural gas, and hybrid-compliant engines ranging from 4 to 780 horsepower. These engines power commercial trucks, buses, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and marine vessels. The firm also produces diesel generators. In 2024, the subsidiary supplied engines to major Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) including Dongfeng and JAC.

### How does the firm generate revenue, and what drives its growth?

Revenue comes exclusively from the sale of engines and engine parts manufactured by its subsidiary, GYMCL. Growth is driven by replacement demand for commercial truck fleets in China, infrastructure construction activity, and regulatory upgrades to China VI emission standards that push fleet owners to newer, compliant engines. For 2024, CYI reported a revenue increase driven primarily by a 19% rise in heavy-duty engine sales (per the firm's 20-F filing, 2025).

### What is the firm's posture on co-investments alongside external investors?

CYI does not engage in co-investment transactions as it is not an investment manager. As a public company, it occasionally enters joint ventures for engine manufacturing, such as its long-standing joint venture with AVL of Austria for engine research and development. These are industrial partnerships, not fund-style co-investment vehicles.
