Hydrogen fuel cell China “core” Yihuatong the world’s first single system 240kW product was first installed
On August 26, 2022, the Hydrogen Energy and fuel Cell Vehicle Commercialization Forum of 2022 World New Energy Vehicle Conference was held in Beijing. Yihuatong, Toyota Motor and Foton Motor appeared with 240kW hydrogen fuel cell engine and 49T heavy truck. Zhang Guoqiang, chairman of the board, was invited to attend and deliver a keynote speech.
“Development of the hydrogen meets the demands on energy, environment and sustainable development, and promoting a new round of economic growth, is the world’s the only way to realize the goal of energy transformation and decarburization” said zhang guiquan, in recent years, the industry policy and fuel-cell vehicle demonstration urban agglomeration, fuel cell car industry developing into the fast lane.
As the industry leader, huatong continues to promote fuel cell product updates iteration, earlier in our country implements the fuel cell system and core pile of mass production, and is widely used in commercial practice, is the present domestic announcement models the largest number, form a complete set of the fuel cell car manufacturer’s largest manufacturers of fuel cell engine system. Data showed that as of August 2022, more than 2,400 fuel cell vehicles were carrying Yihuatong products.
In particular, in December last year, Yihuatong released its new G20+ fuel engine to the market, which is the first domestic vehicle fuel cell system with a rated power of 240kW. This product adopts a number of independent integration technologies to realize efficient collaborative control of core elements of the fuel cell system, such as hydrogen, air, water, heat and electricity. With high power, high response, high integration, high economy and other characteristics. Its appearance expands the application of fuel cell technology to long-distance and heavy-duty fields, and realizes the full coverage of fuel cell technology to different road application scenarios, marking the opening of a new era of high-power hydrogen fuel cell engine for Yihuatong.
Core technology is the foundation of the enterprise. After years of research and development and industrialization exploration, Yihuatong has mastered ten core technologies of fuel cell system and key components. Especially for G20+, the new fuel cell system, its core technology is all from Yihuatong independent research and development, from the fuel cell system to the reactor, membrane electrode, parts localization rate reached 100%. The first-class scientific research ability makes YihuatONG become one of the earliest enterprises in China to master the independent intellectual property rights of core parts and components, and transform the technology into products for mass production.
Based on the core products, Yihuatong continues to promote the commercialization and market operation of fuel cells in the development process. Zhang Guoqiang introduced at the conference, “At present, Yihuatong has cooperated with more than 30 domestic vehicle enterprises, and jointly issued 103 fuel cell vehicle announcements, products covering passenger cars, trucks, passenger cars and other fields. Yihuatong fuel cells have been continuously operating in 23 cities in 5 demonstration urban agglomerations, with a cumulative working mileage of more than 100 million kilometers. It has accumulated rich operating data and experience, providing effective support for continuous iteration and upgrading of products.”
In addition, Yi Huatong in the Winter Olympics security performance is also very bright. Zhang Guoqiang introduced that during the Winter Olympics, more than 700 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were equipped with engines produced by Yihuatong, achieving carbon reduction of more than 2,200 tons, contributing hydrogen energy solutions to the green and scientific Winter Olympics.
Fuel cell vehicles have long been hailed as the best end of the application of hydrogen energy. The development of this industry can leverage the trillion-level hydrogen energy market in China. As a first-tier country in the international hydrogen fuel cell industry, China’s hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry has achieved leapfrog development in recent years.
“So far, China has released 50 national and local industrial policies and built 269 hydrogenation stations, ranking first in the world. With 10,561 fuel cell vehicles, the country has the largest number of commercial fuel cell vehicles in the world.” With the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles, fuel cell products are also accelerating the improvement of quality and cost reduction. It is expected that by 2025, the scale of fuel cell vehicles in China will reach 100,000 units, and the engine cost can be reduced to 1000 yuan/kW, lower than the price of lithium. By 2030, the market scale of fuel cell vehicles can reach one million units, and the engine cost can be reduced to 200 yuan/kW, lower than the price level of traditional internal combustion engines.
In addition, the fuel cell industry has a broad prospect, and its application space covers water, land, air and space, and its application scope will cover transportation, electricity, construction, military and other aspects. In the future, Yihuatong will seize this significant development opportunity, take the industry to serve the country and the sustainable development of the environment as its own responsibility, promote the healthy development of the industry, and contribute to the realization of a beautiful China with clean water and green mountains.
