China Yuchai International Announces
Receipt of Regulatory Approval
For Acquisition of Yulin Hotel Company

Singapore, Singapore – January 15, 2009 China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE: CYD) (“China Yuchai” or the “Company”), announced today that its subsidiary Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited (“Guangxi”) has received approval from the provincial government regulatory agency in charge of state-owned assets administration in the PRC for its acquisition of the entire equity interest in Guangxi Yulin Hotel Company Ltd (“Yulin Hotel Company”). This approval is required under PRC regulations in order to ensure that Guangxi has proper title in the shares of Yulin Hotel Company and pending its receipt, was a major contributing factor in the delay in finalizing the 2007 consolidated financial statements as the appropriate accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP had to be determined. Further details of this transaction can be found in our announcements dated April 11, 2008 and December 1, 2008.

The Company also wishes to advise that under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), it has up to January 15, 2009, to complete and file its 2007 Annual Report on Form 20-F (“2007 20-F”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and return to compliance status. Although the Company has been working towards this deadline, the receipt of provincial government approval just prior to the filing deadline is a substantial positive development necessitating an assessment by the Company as to whether adjustments are now required to be made to its 2007 consolidated financial statements. As a result, China Yuchai applied for and received a short extension of time from NYSE, subject to ongoing monitoring and review by NYSE, for the completion and filing of its 2007 20-F with the SEC.
