NewsRecently, the CCTV CCTV-13 news channel's "Morning News" program aired a special report on hydrogen energy titled "Focusing on Comprehensive Green Transformation during Green Transformation", paying attention to Yutong's new achievements in the development and application of hydrogen fuel heavy-duty trucks.
With the global emphasis on clean energy and sustainable development, hydrogen energy, as a clean and efficient energy carrier, has received widespread attention for its industrial development.
What I am holding in my hand is the product (water) generated during the power generation of this hydrogen powered heavy-duty truck. It looks very transparent and pure, and has no smell. In fact, it is just a cup of pure water, which can intuitively show the environmental protection and pollution-free nature of the hydrogen powered heavy-duty truck. "A CCTV reporter took a cup of emissions from the bottom of the Yutong hydrogen fuel heavy-duty truck and introduced it.
To achieve the widespread application of hydrogen energy transportation, it is necessary to build a comprehensive hydrogen energy transportation network. As an important component of the hydrogen transportation network, the Beijing Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Expressway aims to connect the hydrogen transportation channels between Beijing and Shanghai, and promote the cross regional and long-distance transportation of hydrogen vehicles.
In the report, CCTV reporters personally experienced a hydrogen energy journey, taking Yutong hydrogen fuel heavy-duty trucks from Beijing, crossing provinces such as Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangsu, and finally arriving in Shanghai. This route is exactly the Beijing Shanghai hydrogen energy expressway corridor that opened in April this year, with a total length of about 1500 kilometers.
This hydrogen fuel heavy-duty truck only takes over 10 minutes to fill up with hydrogen and has a range of about 600 kilometers, "the driver explained." Compared to gasoline powered cars, hydrogen powered heavy-duty trucks have better power and stability
The construction of the Beijing Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Expressway will promote the rapid development of hydrogen transportation and the coordinated development of the hydrogen energy industry chain. In April of this year, Yutong hydrogen fuel heavy-duty trucks, as the first to explore the Beijing Shanghai hydrogen energy corridor, fully utilized their characteristics of long range, low hydrogen consumption, fast energy replenishment, and strong power, and successfully completed the first large-scale, long-distance, and cross regional actual transportation test of hydrogen fuel vehicles in China, laying the foundation for the wider application of hydrogen fuel vehicles.
Leading by technology, Yutong promotes the development and popularization of hydrogen energy
As a pioneer in the hydrogen energy field, Yutong Heavy Truck has been dedicated to the research and development of fuel cell technology since 2009. In 2015, it was approved as the first domestic fuel cell commercial vehicle qualification certification. After more than ten years of unremitting efforts, Yutong has formed a full range of fuel cell commercial vehicle product layouts and mastered key technologies. It is at the forefront of the industry in key indicators such as reliability, environmental adaptability, design service life, and hydrogen consumption per hundred kilometers.
Relying on Yutong's profound technological accumulation and research and development in the field of three electric vehicles, Yutong hydrogen fuel heavy-duty trucks have strong technological innovation capabilities and are able to develop more valuable products for customers through forward design based on scenario based applications and customer needs.
The 49 ton Yutong hydrogen fuel heavy-duty truck used for transportation testing in the Beijing Shanghai hydrogen energy corridor is equipped with a 180kW high-power fuel cell system. The vehicle has a range of up to 600 kilometers and can meet most long-distance transportation needs, greatly reducing the time and economic costs during transportation.
In the future, Yutong Heavy Truck will continue to be market-oriented, accelerate the application demonstration and promotion of fuel cell heavy trucks, and use this to drive the high-quality development of hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicle industries, contributing to the achievement of green development and the "dual carbon" goal.
