As the "elastic hub" of a vehicle's powertrain, the engine mount is the critical link between the engine and the chassis. It carries the weight of the engine, isolates vibrations, and optimizes NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance. Essentially, it’s the gatekeeper for ride comfort, stability, and part longevity.

With the explosive growth of EVs, "dual carbon" goals, and a massive push for better cabin acoustics, China’s engine mount market is hitting a high-growth phase. By 2025, the market size is expected to reach $2.85 billion, a 7.2% year-over-year jump, making China the primary engine for global growth in this sector.

Right now, the Chinese market is a mix of home-grown champions and global giants working side-by-side. These top-tier players are dominating the field through tech innovation and massive production footprints. Today, we’re breaking down the Top 10 Suppliers in China’s engine mount space to see how they’re fueling the upgrade—and global expansion—of China's auto industry.

Tuopu is the undisputed heavyweight champion here. They’ve moved way beyond just selling parts; they are now a full-system solution provider. Leveraging their deep roots in chassis systems, Tuopu’s hydraulic mounts—optimized via flow-channel coupling—are the "secret sauce" for solving high-frequency motor whine in EVs. In fact, their tech is now featured in over 30% of high-end NEVs (New Energy Vehicles).

With R&D centers in Ningbo, Shanghai, and Detroit, Tuopu is obsessed with lightweighting. By using bio-based materials and high-strength aluminum alloys, they’ve trimmed mount weight by an average of 18%. In 2025, their vibration-damping division hit $1.17 billion (8.5 billion RMB) in revenue. They are deeply embedded with Tesla, NIO, BYD, and Geely, and their Mexican plant is helping them push global sales past the 20% mark.

Zhongding is all about the chemistry. Their core strength lies in rubber formulation and NVH simulation. After acquiring and absorbing high-end German tech, they’ve mastered "smart" damping: their mounts provide high damping for big, low-frequency bumps while staying soft for high-frequency jitters.

What sets Zhongding apart is the performance-to-price ratio. They deliver premium NVH results at a cost that works for both luxury builds and budget-friendly models. They are a go-to for NIO, Li Auto, and BYD’s DM-i series, serving as a prime example of "local substitution" for imported parts.

Huaxiang has "old school" reliability with a modern twist. Thanks to years of working within joint-venture ecosystems, their manufacturing and QC are world-class. They excel at meeting the ultra-strict tolerances required by global automakers.

Their bread and butter is the "Big Three" of China’s JV world: VW, GM, and SAIC. While they are masters of internal combustion engine (ICE) mounts, they are rapidly pivoting their mature manufacturing base to support the next generation of EVs.

The rest of the Top 10 highlights a "Global Premium vs. Local Agility" dynamic:

• Sumitomo Riko (China): The Japanese powerhouse. They are the backbone for Toyota, Honda, and Nissan in China. Their hydraulic mounts are legendary for being compact and lightweight, perfectly tuned for the smooth NVH characteristic of Japanese brands.

• Continental (China Plants): The tech leaders. Continental owns the high-end market with active mounting systems that can react to engine vibrations in under 1 millisecond. They filter out over 95% of vibration and are the standard for Audi, BMW, and high-end EVs.

• Vibracoustic (China): The German NVH specialists. If you’re driving a Mercedes, Porsche, or Audi in China, you’re likely riding on Vibracoustic tech. Their active mounts offer real-time damping adjustments, providing that "magic carpet" ride quality.

• Zhejiang Luoshi: The "Volume King" for domestic brands. They offer a massive product catalog for Great Wall, Changan, and Chery. They are incredibly agile and cost-effective, making them the top choice for China’s best-selling budget and mid-range cars.

• Huayu Automotive: The SAIC powerhouse. As part of the SAIC Group, they have a guaranteed market and massive scale. They are currently leading the charge in massive-scale delivery for the "SAIC-family" of EVs.

• Baolong Technology: The EV up-and-comer. Baolong has carved out a niche by focusing specifically on the unique vibration frequencies of electric motors. They’ve already secured spots in the supply chains of Xpeng, Leapmotor, and Wuling.

• Kostal (China): The electronics experts. Kostal specializes in the "smart" side of mounting—integrating sensors and electronic controls that play nice with a car’s central computer. They are becoming a key partner for VW and Mercedes' EV lineups in China.

The engine mount industry is at a massive crossroads driven by two things:

1. The EV Shift: It’s no longer just about holding up a heavy engine; it’s about managing high-torque motor vibrations and keeping the car as light as possible.

2. Premium NVH: Whether a car costs $15k or $100k, customers want silence. This is pushing the market away from simple rubber blocks toward hydraulic and electromagnetic active mounts, which now make up about 17% of the market.

The Outlook: Local Chinese suppliers are winning on speed and cost, while global players are doubling down on high-tech "smart" mounts. For automakers, picking the right supplier isn't just about the price tag anymore—it’s about who has the best R&D to make their next EV feel like a luxury lounge.
