CHINA YUCHAI INTERNATIONAL LIMITED RECEIVES
EXTENSION FROM NYSE TO FILE ITS 2006 FORM 20-F

Singapore, January 29, 2008 — China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE:CYD) (“CYI”) today announced that it has received a further extension of up to six (6) months from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“2006 Form 20-F”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), subject to monitoring and review by the NYSE on an ongoing basis.

CYI was unable to file its 2006 Form 20-F by the initial filing deadline of June 30, 2007 and the initial extended deadline of January 17, 2008. CYI filed a notification of late filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC on July 2, 2007 and an amended Form 12b-25 on January 23, 2008. CYI expects to file its amended 2005 and 2006 Form 20F within the extension period granted by the NYSE. If CYI’s 2006 Form 20-F is not filed in a timely manner with the SEC, CYI’s shares could be de-listed or suspended from trading on the NYSE.
