The 2026 Tarim Rally has recently concluded. Spanning an extreme course of 7,500 kilometers over 17 days, the race traverses Xinjiang’s no-man’s lands, scorching Gobi deserts, shifting sand dunes and rugged saline-alkali terrain. With track surface temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius, it stands as China’s premier off-road event featuring production vehicles, renowned for its supreme competitiveness and grueling operating conditions.

Zhenghong Power extends warm congratulations to our partner Great Wall Motor. The Tank 700 Hi4-T has made another historic breakthrough at the 2026 Tarim Rally, claiming the overall championship in the T2.E Production New Energy Category. Its team swept the first, second and third places in the category and secured 11 stage titles, achieving a full grand slam of manufacturer’s cups. The vehicle dominated the competition entirely in its original factory production configuration.

Strict rules apply to the T2.E Category of this rally: only safety structures are permitted to be modified. The powertrain and core engine components must remain in standard factory production specs with no race-specific upgrades. Race results therefore truly reflect the extreme reliability of mass-produced civilian vehicles. The overwhelming victory of the Tank 700 Hi4-T fully demonstrates Great Wall Motor’s unwavering commitment to independent R&D and its formidable expertise in high-displacement hybrid power technology.

Against the backdrop where high-end large-displacement powertrains have long been dominated by foreign brands, Great Wall Motor stays committed to independent research and development. It has developed the mature and reliable 3.0T V6 + Hi4-T off-road hybrid powertrain. Delivering a combined output of 523 horsepower, the system resists power degradation under extreme heat, endures long-distance bumpy rides and handles intensive desert rescue conditions with ease. Outstanding performance on the racetrack has broken the barriers of foreign-funded powertrain technologies and set a benchmark for domestic high-end off-road power systems.

As the exclusive original equipment supplier for the E30Z 3.0T V6 engine cylinder block of the Tank 700 Hi4-T, Zhenghong Power provided core power components for the championship-winning vehicle throughout the rally. As the fundamental base of the entire powertrain, the engine cylinder block sustains the vehicle’s extreme power output and stable performance across all terrains, serving as a core component determining reliability in rigorous off-road races.

Boasting over two decades of experience in manufacturing high-precision power parts, Zhenghong Power operates four intelligent production bases. We adopt core technologies including cylinder bore plasma spraying, precision casting and sophisticated machining. The original 3.0T V6 cylinder block deployed in the Tarim Rally withstood 7,500 kilometers of non-stop intense driving, persistent 50℃ high temperatures and tens of thousands of off-road impacts, operating flawlessly with no power loss or malfunctions. Its stable performance not only proves the superior quality of Great Wall’s self-developed large-displacement hybrid powertrain, but also highlights the exceptional reliability of Zhenghong Power’s domestic high-precision manufacturing capabilities.

For a long time, Zhenghong Power and Great Wall Motor have upheld the dedication to manufacturing and pursued technological co-innovation, focusing on the iteration of core technologies for high-end large-displacement powertrains and off-road hybrid systems. Thanks to consistent technological innovation, our company has been awarded the Annual Technology Leadership Award (Technological Innovation) by Great Wall Motor, and is a core strategic supplier for its flagship large-displacement powertrains.

Racing refines quality, and craftsmanship fuels breakthroughs. Going forward, Zhenghong Power will continue to specialize in the manufacturing of 3.0T V6 large-displacement cylinder blocks and high-performance power parts. We will further deepen strategic cooperation with Great Wall Motor, empower the upgrading of domestic powertrain technologies with independent precision manufacturing strengths, and work together to drive the high-end development of Chinese automotive brands.
