MAN Energy Solutions extends collaboration with CSSC’s engine and trading units

Shaanxi Diesel Heavy Industry, a subsidiary of CSSC Group, has been a major manufacturer of medium and high-speed engines in China, while China Shipbuilding Trading serves as a crucial link and comprehensive trading company in the shipbuilding industry.
