The previous record in truck engines was held by Weichai with 50% too.
This is why I laugh at people who claim China is somehow deficient in piston engines. It is not. It is just a market with a lot of brand inertia which forced many Chinese manufacturers to compete in lower-end segments. People think you instantly get a good market share if you come up with a good product. That never happens because of customer perceptions, existing contracts, installed support base, OEM product cycles, etc...
