Founded in 2006, the "China Heart" Annual Top Ten Engines selection is currently the only automotive powertrain selection in China with international influence, and has won unanimous recognition and high praise from the automotive industry, consumers and professional media alike. Together with "Ward's 10 Best Engines" and "International Engine of the Year", it ranks among the world's three major engine awards.

At the test site, Wang Binggang, head of the supervision and consulting expert group for the national "863 Programme" major projects on energy-saving and new energy vehicles and Honorary Director of the Expert Review Committee of the "China Heart" Annual Top Ten Engines selection, said: "A mature and comprehensive evaluation system together with a purely merit-based selection platform is extremely rare. The fact that the 'China Heart' Top Ten Engines selection has grown to its present scale would not have been possible without the strong support of Kunlun Lubricant over the past nine years. This platform, which Kunlun Lubricant helped to build, has won broad recognition and active participation from the automotive industry, has advanced the development of engine technology, and has played an important role on the road to the leapfrog development of Chinese engines."
In the future, Kunlun Lubricant will continue its cooperation with automakers and relevant organisations, support the development of China's auto industry in many respects, and actively promote the progress of the industry.
