| Under a technology licensing arrangement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Yichang Marine Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. (YMD), a group company of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, has completed production of its first Mitsubishi-UE low-speed marine diesel engine. YMD, located in Yichang, Hubei Province, |
is expected to complete three more Mitsubishi-UE engines this year.
The first China-built Mitsubishi-UE engine is the "6UEC43LSII" with a power output of 6,300 kW or 8,580 PS at 160 rpm. The unit will be fitted as the main engine on a German-owned 32,000 DWT timber/cargo carrier currently under construction in Fujian Province.
Licensing arrangements with other Chinese companies give MHI a dynamic structure to offer a broad range of UE engines to that market.

Mitsubishi Rayon Cleansui , a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Rayon, is working to expand the use of water purifiers in homes in China. Installation of Cleansui purifiers at outlets of the popular Wagas café chain in Shanghai began in July and will allow customers to sample the safe and pleasant-tasting tap water that the units supply. This drive to encourage the use of tap water will reduce waste from and vehicle fuel used in PET bottled water deliveries.
Cleansui’s market penetration in China has grown steadily since it introduced the first purifiers in 2006. Installation of Cleansui purifiers in restaurants serving the Beijing International Convention Center and Shanghai New International Expo Centre has raised awareness regarding their safety and effectiveness among commercial users and the general public.
