Exhibit 99.1

China Yuchai Announces Issuance of Short-Term Financing Bonds
by its Key Subsidiary

Singapore, Singapore — November 22, 2011 — China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE: CYD) (“China Yuchai” or the “Company”) announced today that its key subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited (“GYMCL”) has received approval from China’s National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors (“NAFMII”) for the issuance of RMB-denominated, unsecured, short-term financing bonds (“Bonds”) amounting to RMB 690 million. The Bonds will be issued on November 22, 2011 and mature on November 23, 2012. The par value and issue price of each Bond is RMB 100.

The Bonds will bear a fixed annual interest rate of 5.77%. Subscription to and trading of the Bonds is only available in China to institutional investors of China’s National Inter-bank Bond Market. The lead underwriter and bookrunner for the Bonds is the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. All the proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds are to be used by GYMCL as working capital in 2011 and 2012. In view of the continued tight monetary policy in China, with the benchmark one-year lending rate currently at 6.56% and the discount rate for bank bills expected to remain at levels exceeding 5.77%, GYMCL decided on the Bonds issue as it would lower its financial costs caused by the tight credit policy in China as well as being a cost-effective method of raising capital.

This latest Bonds issuance is in addition to the RMB 1.7 billion short-term financing bonds issued by GYMCL in two tranches, in March and July 2011. GYMCL will continue to review its financing strategy according to changes in the economic environment and government monetary policy.

This press release does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States, and securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. The Company does not intend to register any portion of the Bonds issue referred to above in the United States or to conduct a public offering in the United States. Any public offering of securities to be made in the United States will be by means of a prospectus that can be obtained from the Company and that will contain detailed information about the Company and management, as well as financial statements.
