Discover the story of JY Powertrain — from a pioneering automotive joint venture to an IATF 16949 certified leader supplying over 1.3 million transaxle assemblies to global markets.
First founded in 1992, Weihai JY Powertrain Co., Ltd. (wholly owned subsidiary of Jiuyue Cheqiao Group) initially forged its legacy in manufacturing high-strength mechanical rear axles. With the rapid onset of green energy transition, the company pivoted early, leveraging its deep metallurgical and gear-cutting mastery to engineer integrated high-performance electric transaxle systems.
Today, we represent a premier, tier-1 industrial partner for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Our Official Municipal Technology Center continually breaks barriers in Static Torsional Reserve and gears fatigue lifecycle endurance, guaranteeing robust operation across electric trucks, sightseeing vehicles, golf carts, and specialty utility vehicles.
Cumulative drive axles delivered to Foton Motor and partners.
Shandong based state-of-the-art production complex.
Continuous machinery, workshop and test lab upgrades.
In-house senior design, electrical & manufacturing engineers.
From forging to microscopic inspection, we control every critical phase of manufacturing to ensure unyielding quality.
Through our dedicated subsidiary, Weihai Jiuyue Wenfeng Axle Co., Ltd., we operate state-of-the-art housing and shaft production lines. Our equipment arsenal includes heavy-duty 630T hydraulic forging presses and precision Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) to machine critical drive gears and output half-shafts with micron-level tolerances.
Our 15,000 m² construction complex houses 4 highly automated axle assembly lines capable of mass-manufacturing front and rear axle systems in parallel. Our equipment line-up boasts over 120 sets of specialized equipment, including torque-controlled nut runners, hydraulic automated press-fits, and custom gear mesh test benches.
We operate a fully equipped, modern chemical and physical laboratory. To guarantee strict compliance with IATF 16949:2016, our QC engineers deploy high-end Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), Rockwell/Brinell hardness testers, metallographic microscopes, salt spray chambers, and residue testing apparatuses.
From deep mechanical roots to electrified transaxle mastery, explore our historical journey.
Formed as a joint venture with Wendong General Machine Tool Factory and Sichuan Jian'an. The entity specialized in early-generation 0.5T semi-floating and 0.8T full-floating mechanical rear axle systems for utility mini trucks.
Established Wendong Dongfeng Axle Factory in Qingshan Town, Weihai, partnering directly with Shaanxi Dongfeng Machinery Factory. This phase cemented regional manufacturing capabilities.
Supplied a comprehensive line of front/rear axles to major domestic vehicle builders of the era, including Black Panther (Heibao) Automobile, Rongcheng Haishan, Rushan Yulong, and Tangjun Ouling.
Launched focused R&D for the Foton Yuling series electric transaxles. Over subsequent years, this blossomed into supplying Foton Motor’s prestigious Xiangling M1/M2/V2/V3 and Hongyuan series, building a cumulative supply footprint exceeding 1.3 million sets.
Formally consolidated all assets and rebranded as Weihai JY Powertrain Co., Ltd., committing 100% of executive strategy, capital, and technical teams to advanced electric-only rear drive axle assembly.
Established our dedicated heavy component subsidiary, Weihai Jiuyue Wenfeng Axle Co., Ltd. Under a CNY 50M capital layout, we installed massive 630T hydraulic presses to control in-house rear axle housing and high-strength half-shaft fabrication.
Began manufacturing specialized low-speed and high-speed transaxles for Shandong Reichi New Energy, BAIC, and international electric LSV builders. With recent equipment and testing lab upgrades, JY Powertrain is poised to drive the global e-mobility revolution.
