Baudouin is a French engine manufacturer founded in 1903. For more than 100 years history, Baudouin has been the main supplier of military diesel engines for the French military, with complete marine powertrain system solutions. At the end of 2008, Baudouin officially became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weichai Group. After that, Baudouin maintained its original high-end brand image and reshaped its competitiveness in terms of cost and features. Its annual sales were nearly 20 times higher than before the merger. It leapt from a small business to a top company in the industry and achieved profitability. At present, Baudouin products are becoming an important part of Weichai’s power products.
