Farizon methanol engine: the breakthrough path of technology and green transformation
2026,02,12
Under the strategic background of the "dual carbon" goal, the low-carbon transformation in the commercial vehicle sector has become a key battlefield for energy structure adjustment. Methanol, as a liquid hydrogen based Fuel, is becoming an important technological route for commercial vehicle power transformation due to its diversified raw materials, convenient storage and transportation, and emission reduction potential. Since 2025, several batches of "Announcement on Road Motor Vehicle Production Enterprises and Products" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have shown a steady increase in the number of methanol powered commercial vehicle models and an increasingly mature technological roadmap. As an explorer and practitioner of Methanol Power technology in the commercial vehicle field, Farizon engine has a keen insight into this trend and regards methanol engines as its core strategic direction. Through continuous technological breakthroughs and industry chain collaboration, it is forging a unique path to breaking through the impasse. The development of its Methanol Engine is not simply about fuel replacement, but a systematic innovation from combustion mechanism, powertrain to vehicle integration. In response to the low cetane number and high latent heat of vaporization of methanol fuel, the Farizon engine development team has conducted in-depth optimization in engine combustion chamber design, fuel injection system optimization, ignition control strategy, and other aspects, successfully breaking through industry common problems such as difficulty in cold start and poor power output characteristics of methanol engines, and achieving a level of power performance, fuel economy, and reliability comparable to or even better than traditional Diesel Engines. For example, its latest developed high displacement methanol engine fully meets the power needs of commercial vehicles such as heavy-duty trucks. At the same time, under full load conditions, it can significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to diesel engines of the same displacement, providing solid power support for the low-carbon operation of commercial vehicles.
In addition to breakthroughs in combustion systems and power performance, Farizon methanol engines have also demonstrated outstanding technical strength in fuel adaptability and reliability. The R&D team fully considered the possible differences in the quality of methanol fuel in different regions and developed targeted fuel supply systems, filtration systems, and injection control logic for the engine, enabling the engine to stably adapt to various grades of methanol fuel, effectively reducing the fuel selection threshold and user concerns. In terms of reliability verification, Farizon methanol engines have undergone rigorous testing that far exceeds industry standards, including over 20000 hours of bench durability testing, vehicle road testing covering extreme environments such as high temperatures, high altitudes, and cyclic fatigue testing simulating typical operating conditions of commercial vehicles. By strengthening the design and upgrading materials of key components such as cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, pistons, valves, etc., the service life and fault interval mileage of the engine have been significantly improved, ensuring stable performance in high-intensity and high load commercial vehicle operation scenarios, bringing lower maintenance costs and higher operational efficiency to users. This ultimate pursuit of reliability not only leads Farizon methanol engines in technical specifications, but also gives them the confidence to compete with traditional energy engines in practical applications.
