FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


                  CHINA YUCHAI INTERNATIONAL LIMITED ANNOUNCES
                          STRONG PERFORMANCE FOR 2002


SINGAPORE, MARCH 25, 2003 - China Yuchai International Limited (CYI) today
announced strong performance for the year ended December 31, 2002 with net
income of Rmb412.4 million (US$49.8 million) as compared to the net income of
Rmb250.4 million (US$30.3 million) for the same period in 2001. This
significant improvement in performance is due to strong market demand for
Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited's (YUCHAI) engines and strong customer
acceptance of new models.

Net sales of Rmb3,513.0 million (US$424.5 million) for the year ended December
31, 2002 represent an increase of approximately 97% compared to same period last
year of Rmb1,783.3 million (US$215.5 million). Total unit sales of 130,283
diesel engines for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 76% higher than the same
period last year.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by approximately 75% due mainly to higher staff costs,
transport charges, arising from higher unit sales and research and development
expenditures. However, the selling, general and administrative expenses increase
of 12% as a percentage of sales ratio for the year ended December 31, 2002 is
lower than the 14% for same period last year. As a result, operating income
increased to Rmb640.3 million (US$77.4 million) for the year ended December 31,
2002 as compared to Rmb295.1 million (US$35.6 million) for the same period last
year.

Interest expense declined slightly to Rmb25.1 million (US$3.0 million) for the
period ended December 31, 2002 as compared to Rmb29.8 million (US$3.6 million)
for same period last year due to the repayment of bank loans during the year.

According to Government industry statistics, in the year 2002, there was an
increase in the sales of light to heavy trucks and buses in China of over 30%
compared to the same period last year (source data: China Association of
Automobile Manufacturers). Yuchai was able to achieve a much higher increase of
76% for its engines due to its successful marketing programs and strong customer
acceptance of its new models which comply with China's new emission controls for
its engines.

Yuchai has a strong brand name in China with an extensive sales and marketing
network. Yuchai's products are of good quality and provide reliable performance.
Yuchai has established itself as a major manufacturer of diesel engines in China
with a significant market share.
<PAGE>
We expect that the market demand for diesel engines in China will increase with
the continued expansion of the highways and toll roads in China leading to
increasing demand for new trucks and buses.

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce an interim ordinary dividend of
US$0.10 per share and a special dividend of US$0.30 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2002. These dividends will be paid to members whose names appear
on the register of members of CYI on 14 April 2003. The payment date of these
dividends will be 19 May 2003.

Basic and diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 was
Rmb11.67 (US$1.41) compared to a basic and diluted net income per share of
Rmb7.09 (US$0.86)for the same period in 2001.


OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

As disclosed in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001, although we own 76.4% of Yuchai's shares, we require the
cooperation of Yuchai's minority shareholder, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Holdings
Company (the "State Holding Company") and its legal representative, Mr. Wang
Jianming, in the daily management and operation of Yuchai. There have been
continuing difficulties in obtaining that cooperation, most notably in
implementation of decisions of the CYI Board on capital expenditures and the
payment of dividends in 2002.

On 23 August 2002, Yuchai's Board of Directors and shareholders approved the
payment of a final dividend for 2001 and an interim dividend for 2002 totaling
Rmb 321,632,755, of which our share amounts to Rmb 245,687,110 (US$29.6
million). Although the dividends due to the State Holding Company and certain
legal representatives of Yuchai have been paid, the dividends due to CYI to date
have not.

We are aware of no legal or financial barriers to the payment of these dividends
and continue to work with the management of Yuchai, government officials and
others in order to procure the release of these dividends and prevent a
recurrence of a payment delay in the future.

Through our representation on Yuchai's Board of Directors, we are continuing to
put procedures in place to improve the management and corporate governance of
Yuchai. For example, during 2002, Yuchai's Board of Directors took steps to
draft and put in place corporate governance guidelines for Yuchai, as well as to
amend Yuchai's Articles of Association to enable the adoption of such
guidelines. Yuchai is still in the process of adopting these guidelines and is
awaiting Chinese Government approval of such guidelines. There can be no
assurances as to when this process will be completed, however, or as to its
ultimate success.

In October 2002, we were advised China Everbright Holdings Limited sold its
24.3% indirect shareholding in CYI to Goldman Industrial Limited. In connection
with the sale, the two directors nominated by China Everbright Holdings Limited,
Mr Yang Bin and Mr Yang Yongsheng, resigned from CYI's Board of Directors.
