The company holds more than 3,000 patents and operates R&D centers in Yulin and Nanning focused on energy efficiency, new energy components, high-power electrical systems, and hybrid and alternate fuel engine technologies. New energy offerings include the YC Hydrogen-Powered Engine Series, YCRE Range Extender Power System (65-400kW), YCPD-eCVT Hybrid Power System, YCFC Fuel Cell System (40-125kW), and YCEA Pure Electric Bridge Driving Force System (30-180kW). Through its joint venture MTU Yuchai Power Co., Ltd with Rolls-Royce Power Systems, CYI also manufactures MTU Series 4000 engines (1,420kW to 2,590kW) for safety-critical applications in oil and gas, data centres, and semiconductor factories. Products are certified to China National VI, Euro VI, Tier 4, IMO, and China Classification Society standards.

CYI operates a B2B hardware sales model with ancillary service revenue. Primary revenue is generated through manufacture, assembly, and sale of engines and high-value core spare parts to OEMs across vehicle, industrial, agricultural, marine, and power generation industries. Maintenance and retrofitting services delivered through the authorized service center network generate a secondary revenue stream. The company owns six manufacturing plants spanning over 2 million square meters in Yulin, Guangxi, with annual production capacity of approximately 600,000 engine units. CYI is a subsidiary of Hong Leong Asia Ltd., a Singapore-listed diversified Asian conglomerate that has expanded into China's diesel engine industry since the 2000s, and also holds a 48.9% minority stake in HL Global Enterprises Limited.
