First TCR12 Turbocharger localised in China
MAN Turbocharger China recently unveiled the first TCR12 turbocharger completely assembled at its Changzhou factory. This new development confirms MAN Diesel & Turbo’s strategy of localising its turbocharger production in China.
Over the last two decades, the level of shipbuilding activity in China has increased dramatically, resulting in the country being ranked as the top shipbuilding nation globally for the first time in 2010. As the leading supplier of turbochargers for marine diesel-engine manufacturers in China, MAN Diesel & Turbo has continuously contributed to this rapid development and had already established a local set-up in Shanghai in 2002. Initially acting as an assembly workshop for axial turbochargers, MAN subsequently localised component production over the years. In time, the Shanghai factory became too small and, in 2011, the turbocharger workshop was moved to the existing plant in Changzhou.
