Emphasis is placed on industry university research cooperation, actively introducing and digesting advanced technologies from both domestic and foreign sources. Long term cooperative relationships have been established with Shandong University, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Jilin University, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Provincial Foundry Association, and Provincial Machinery Design Institute in areas such as process innovation, new material application, equipment improvement, etc., to enhance the research and development capabilities of new processes and new material technologies. An external expert team has been hired to assist enterprises in technological progress and transformation and upgrading.

The company has established a provincial-level enterprise technology center with Lude "Technology Research Institute" as the main body. The company actively adopts advanced design and development software and testing equipment at home and abroad, and has American Solid Edge, UG 3D CAD/CAM computer-aided design and manufacturing workstations, ANSIS finite element analysis, casting process simulation software, which are widely used in the company's design and development process.

The company was the first in the industry to apply iron mold sand casting high-performance ductile iron crankshaft material+advanced technology of fillet rolling. In the 1990s, it first achieved the research and application of the "iron instead of steel" technology for the Chaochai 4105 crankshaft. Through technological innovation, the crankshaft rolling strengthening coefficient was increased from 1.5 to over 3.0, realizing the widespread application of ductile iron crankshafts in China VI engines.
