Guchen from China – specialist in air conditioning systems and compressors

The Chinese company Guchen is based in Hunan Province near Zhengzhou and has more than 30 years of experience in vehicle air conditioning. The manufacturer specializes in compressors and air conditioning systems for commercial vehicles, buses, and electric vehicles. In addition to classic applications for combustion engines, Guchen is increasingly developing components for electric mobility – in particular BTMS systems (Battery Thermal Management Systems), which optimally regulate the temperature of batteries under extreme conditions.

Thermal management systems for electric vehicles and heavy-duty applications

Guchen's thermal management systems are primarily used in heavy-duty vehicles, mining vehicles, and buses – wherever extreme temperatures and long operating times require precise cooling. The systems regulate battery temperature, prevent overheating in summer, and ensure even heat distribution in winter. This extends the service life of the batteries and increases the efficiency of the drive systems.

At the heart of the system is a combination of compressor, condenser, evaporator, and control unit in an integrated 4-in-1 solution. While many manufacturers install these components separately, Guchen combines them in a compact module – saving space, minimizing energy losses, and improving response times. The modular design also facilitates maintenance and retrofitting, which is a decisive advantage, especially for fleet operators and commercial vehicle manufacturers.

Guchen control technology and flexible power adjustment

A key advantage lies in the control unit developed in-house. It enables a quick response to changing operating conditions and can be individually adapted to customer systems. Guchen thus offers customized layouts for BTMS solutions, tailored to the vehicle type, environment, and application profile. The electrical power can be regulated from 3 to 30 kilowatts. Software or hardware adjustments can be implemented at short notice – an important criterion for OEM partners, some of whom Guchen has been working with for over ten years. This flexibility enables manufacturers to efficiently bring new models into series production without fundamentally changing the cooling architecture.

High-performance compressors for buses and electric vehicles

The company's in-house compressors are among the most powerful on the market. With up to 24 kilowatts of cooling capacity, they achieve values that are among the highest in the world. In addition to efficiency, Guchen attaches great importance to a long service life of over ten to fifteen years, as required for commercial vehicles. The compressors are used in both BTMS systems and classic air conditioning systems – from passenger buses to mining vehicles to electric commercial vehicles. The combination of performance, robustness, and adaptability has established Guchen on the Chinese market and enabled the company to enter the European market.

Guchen establishes itself in the international e-mobility market

With its 4-in-1 systems and many years of experience in compressor technology, Guchen is positioning itself as a reliable partner for manufacturers of electric and commercial vehicles worldwide. The combination of technical maturity, rapid development implementation, and customer-specific adaptation makes the Chinese supplier one of the leading companies in the field of thermal management for electric mobility. The increasing demand for efficient cooling systems for batteries and power electronics is strengthening Guchen's international presence – a sign of the global shift towards sustainable vehicle technology.
