ESTABLISHED 1992

Our Industrial Legacy

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.

PIONEERING THE EV FRONTIER

Driven by Precision, Scaled for Performance

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.
