PLYMOUTH, Mich. and ROLLE, Switzerland, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Garrett Motion Inc. (Nasdaq: GTX), a global leader in differentiated turbocharging and electrification technologies for automotive and industrial applications, announced the first commercial application of its largest MEG turbocharger platform with Weichai’s next-generation large-bore engine programs. This deployment marks an important advancement in extending Garrett’s advanced turbocharging technologies into higher power applications for marine propulsion and power generation systems.
Garrett has a long history of providing turbo solutions for industrial and marine applications and is expanding its portfolio with the launch of the large-frame MEG line up. This platform represents the company’s newest and largest turbocharger line, engineered specifically for the demanding needs of large-bore engines. Designed for marine propulsion, high-output power generation, and backup genset systems such as data center emergency power, the platform supports multiple fuel types, including diesel, natural gas, and emerging alternative fuels. This allows customers to meet evolving efficiency and emissions targets across diverse applications.
Olivier Rabiller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Garrett Motion, said: “This collaboration marks a key milestone in our long-standing partnership with Weichai Power. It underscores Garrett’s growing presence in large-engine segments for marine and industrial applications with our MEG portfolio, as we apply proven technologies to new domains delivering high-performance, energy-efficient solutions for the future.”
LingJin Wang, Deputy General Manager of Weichai Power, said: “By combining Garrett’s leadership in differentiated turbocharging technologies with Weichai’s proven engine development capabilities, this collaboration will enhance our ability to deliver competitive, sustainable marine power systems to customers worldwide.”
The introduction of Garrett’s MEG platform into marine engine applications comes at a pivotal moment, as large-bore engine applications — especially in marine and industrial sectors — face growing demand to improve fuel efficiency, extend operating cycles, and meet increasingly stringent global emissions standards.
Drawing on Garrett’s unique capabilities, the MEG turbo is designed specifically to address these requirements. Purpose-built for marine, genset, and industrial applications, it delivers higher efficiency, long-term reliability, lower fuel consumption and lifecycle emissions. It integrates optimized aerodynamics, high-temperature materials, and modular architecture that all result in superior benefits.
Garrett and Weichai have worked together since 1998, partnering across on-highway, off-highway, and industrial applications. Leveraging their unique capabilities, global networks, and strong local presence in China, both companies continue to advance high-performance, next-generation powertrain technologies for markets worldwide.
