China Yuchai International Limited

A maker of diesel and natural-gas engines, China Yuchai International builds the power plants that move trucks, buses, construction equipment, and farm machinery across China and beyond. Its roots go back to 1951, when a small machinery repair workshop opened in Yulin, Guangxi; the name "Yuchai" cleverly fuses the "Yu" of Yulin with "chai," the Chinese word for diesel. Today it ranks among the world's largest engine builders and was the first Chinese industrial firm to list on the New York Stock Exchange, in 1994.
