More than 200 years ago，Humans marvel at the energy in fuel.，The idea of converting the thermal energy generated by combustion into mechanical energy for driving was born.。Since the First Industrial Revolution，Human beings change the world，Pursue the strongest power on the surface of the earth tirelessly，Steam engine、Gas Engine……Continuous breakthroughs and improvements，Finally, the prototype of the internal combustion engine is beginning to show.。
125 years ago，The advent of the oil age has made diesel a new star among fuels.，Diesel-powered heart，Human antennae have nerves on seven continents and four oceans.。Since then，Breaking through the thermal efficiency of diesel engine has become the history of human power.“Landing on the moon”Dream，Attract countless people to go“No man's land”…
Time goes back to the present。Weichai, rising in Weifang, Shandong Province, has created the peak of diesel engine thermal efficiency three times in three consecutive years.，Rewriting the era when the internal combustion engine industry was dominated by the West。
November twentieth in the afternoon，Director of the State Key Laboratory of Internal Combustion Engine Reliability、Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Weichai Power，Releasing the world's first body thermal efficiency 52 to the world.28%Commercial diesel engine and the world's first bulk thermal efficiency 54.16%Commercial natural gas engine。Secretary of the Party Group of the Chinese Academy of Engineering、President Li Xiaohong said，These two achievements not only inspire Weichai，It is even more exciting for the people.！
Three swords determine the universe vertically and horizontally，Once the clouds are broken, the world is shaken.。Weichai breaks the limit again，Climb to the top of the mountain，We have to talk about the three obsessions in Tan Xuguang's heart.。No obsession, no madness.，There is no Tao without obsession.。
Obsession one：Self-reliance and self-improvement，Your destiny is firmly in your own hands.
September 2020，Weichai releases the world's first body thermal efficiency 50.23%A diesel engine；January 2022，Weichai raises the thermal efficiency of diesel engine body to 51.09%；Less than a year.，The thermal efficiency of the diesel engine body is increased to 52.28%A new height。Concurrently released bulk thermal efficiency 54.16%Commercial natural gas engine，Far ahead of the previous global industry high level of 47.6%，Surpass the diesel engine for the first time。
Behind Refreshing the Thermal Efficiency Limit，It is Tan Xuguang's obsession to master the lifeblood of independent core technology.，It is the responsibility of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology.。China is the largest manufacturing country in the world.，But not a manufacturing power.，Technically“Hunger”Always existed，The pain of core technology is something we don't want to uncover.“Scar”。
Go with many other domestic enterprises.“Introduction”The same as the road，Weichai's high-speed engine business,It began in the 1980s when the country introduced Austrian Steyr heavy Truck and engine technology.。
Tan Xuguang joined Weichai as a product tester at the age of 17.，Participated in the whole process of absorption and digestion of Steyr engine technology。In 1998, he became the main person in charge of Weichai.，Unswervingly put forward to take the road of independent positive research and development，Successfully developed the first high-power high-speed Guosan diesel engine with completely independent intellectual property rights in China.“Lan Qing”。
Tan Xuguang clearly knows that foreign enterprises will not give you the most advanced technology.，Enterprises that survive by purchasing technology ultimately only have“Sell yourself”A road。Only the scientific and technological achievements created independently by both hands can straighten their backs and wrestle with foreign competitors.。
Weichai insists on self-centered、The idea of chain innovation，Formed“Independent innovation+Open and innovative+Craftsman innovation+Innovation in basic research”A four-in-one new scientific and technological innovation system.。In the engine plate，Weichai has invested more than 30 billion yuan in R & D in ten years.。“Industry development has a cycle.，No cycle of R & D investment”。Even in 2022, which is in the cold winter of the industry，Weichai's R & D expenses account for up to 9 percent.5%，Basic research accounts for 20 percent%。Thermally efficient R & D team only，More than 100 PhDs participated.，Many members work more than 1,500 hours of overtime a year.…
Still waters run deep，Accumulate thick into potential。
Tan Xuguang is a rare scientific and technological strategic scientist in China's internal combustion engine industry.，He said，Scientific and technological innovation can not rely on deception，It takes ten years to sharpen a sword.，Be down-to-earth and endure loneliness。He organized a large corps of ten thousand people to tackle key scientific and technological problems.，Never satisfied with climbing the highest peak of the global internal combustion engine industry，In order to firmly grasp the fate in their own hands.。
Obsession two：Make the diesel engine cleaner、Near-zero emissions
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China，Actively and Steadily Promote Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutralization。When“New Energy”“No burning”When the hot words are very popular.，Tan Xuguang still keeps a clear understanding.。The world will continue to be an era of coexistence of diversified energy sources.，Fossil energy will remain dominant for a long time to come.，Especially in heavy Trucks.、Ship、Construction machinery、Agricultural equipment and many other fields still have irreplaceable value and strong vitality.。
Make the diesel engine cleaner、Realize near-zero emission of diesel engine，Is it another obsession of Tan Xuguang?。Tan Xuguang said，Diesel engine is the main force of energy saving and emission reduction in China in the past and in the future.，With the continuous upgrading of emission standards,，Diesel engines are far more than we thought.“Much cleaner”。
Little known is that，It is precisely because of the continuous improvement of thermal efficiency.，Since 2015, China's diesel engine industry has actually reached“The carbon reaches the peak”。Although the number of diesel Vehicles has risen sharply,，However, the national diesel consumption is declining year by year.。
Compared to industry average，52%Thermally efficient diesel engine reduces CO2 emissions12%，54%Thermally efficient natural gas engines reduce CO2 emissions 25 percent%。If all of them are commercialized，It can reduce 90 million tons of carbon emissions for our country every year.。
Not only that，Commercialized diesel engines also bring real economic benefits to users.。As will 52%Commercial application of thermal efficiency product，Compared to 46%The industry average，Press a 6*4. The annual operation of the Tractor is estimated to be 300,000 kilometers.，Fuel costs alone can save 5% a year-60,000。
Not being sleepy is to worry early.，Not being poor lies in precocity。
More than a decade ago.，Tan Xuguang began to lay out new energy sources.。At present, Weichai has led the establishment of the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center.，A fuel cell base with an annual output of 20000 units has been built.，Hydrogen fuel cells and solid oxide fuel cells are in the overall leading level.。In June this year，Weichai and Sinotruk jointly released the first commercial hydrogen internal combustion engine heavy Truck in China，It has established Weichai's pioneer position in the field of alternative fuel power.。
In the ultimate pursuit of green low-carbon，Tan Xuguang insisted“Traditional power+New Energy Power”Walk on two legs，First establish and then break.、A two-pronged approach、Go hand in hand。
Obsession three：Not to compete for the first place is to build a world-class enterprise.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes，Improve the modern enterprise system with Chinese characteristics，Promote entrepreneurship，Speed up the construction of world-class enterprises。
Tan Xuguang behind the world's double first achievement of high heat efficiency“Fight for the first place”The spirit of entrepreneurship is inseparable.。Enterprises managed by Tan Xuguang，No matter where you go，You can see a striking slogan.“If you don't compete for the first place, you are muddling along.”。
This is Tan Xuguang's most unique passionate culture.。“Fighting spirit is high、Indefatigable”，This is the unanimous evaluation of Tan Xuguang by those who have worked with him.。We can always see that he is meticulous in public.、Be in good spirits。Just like he said.，His blood is boiling.“Diesel”It seems that there is always a huge burst of energy.。
“Don't do what is not the first，Do it first.。”Not only be the first.，And be the only one，And be an impeccable and overwhelming first.，This is Tan Xuguang's philosophy of life.，It's what he does.、The Philosophy of Doing Business。
At present，The industrial territory under Tan Xuguang's rule has included many industries.“First”：Global Heavy Duty Engines、Heavy-duty gearbox、Heavy trucks, etc. First in the world，Italian Ferretti luxury yacht brand ranks first in the world，Bulldozer、Tractors、Harvesting machinery is the first in China.。
But there is still an obsession in Tan Xuguang's heart.，That is to build a world-class enterprise driven by science and technology.。
Tan Xuguang's Shandong Heavy Industry Group has reached more than 500 billion yuan in revenue.，Overseas business accounts for 40 percent%，Its Weichai Group ranks 18th among the top 100 multinational companies in China，The transnational index is 39.06%，It is the world's undisputed top 500.。But，Tan Xuguang thinks this is not enough.。
The other day，At the Fifth China Enterprise Forum，Tan Xuguang delivered a speech on building a world-class enterprise.。He believes that the measurement of world-class is not only based on size.，More importantly, we should look at four hard indicators.：How many businesses have achieved global competitiveness?、How many of the world's leading key core technologies have been mastered、Have products and brands entered the global high-end market?、Can the governance system handle the complex challenges of internationalization?。
A group of Chinese entrepreneurs born in the 1960s, represented by Tan Xuguang，Experienced、Witnessed Chinese enterprises、China's science and technology from following、And run to the leading process.。
Maybe，Understanding Tan Xuguang's Obsession from the Development History of China's Automobile Industry，Only in this way can we feel more deeply the sincerity of a technological strategic entrepreneur.、Feelings and responsibilities。
