How do you realize rapid development when hydrogen fuel cell vehicle meets the bottleneck?

As one of the main technical path of new energy cars, hydrogen fuel battery cars have been confirmed to make significant development in "National Innovation-Driven Development Strategy Compendium", "Made in China 2025", "Auto Industry Long-term Development Planning" and another important strategic program. In accordance with the relevant plan, our country plans to have 2 million hydrogen fuel cell cars in 2030.

So, does this mean that the hydrogen fuel cell car has welcomed draught? Analysts pointed out that the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles related technologies have a substantial breakthrough, the policy is also increasing. However, for future large-scale development, the hydrogen fuel cell car in addition to the core technology still need to improve, more is the key to speed up the perfect infrastructure, strengthening demonstration run, in the search for a new business operation mode.

Planning: has a total of 2 million cars by 2030

Compared to the electric car battery energy storage is the defect of low energy density, hydrogen fuel cell car zero emissions, zero pollution characteristics, is the industry regarded as ideal clean environmental protection technology in the future.

On hydrogen fuel cell car technology, countries such as Japan and South Korea to walk in the forefront, according to public information display, in 1992, Toyota began to develop hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, 2014 launched its first hydrogen fuel cell car Mirai mass production and sold on the market. Honda has also launched its hydrogen fuel cell vehicles Clarity. And South Korean modern to hydrogen fuel cells, shortly before the Beijing auto show has released the first NEXO hydrogen fuel cell car.

In fact, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as one of the main technical route of new energy cars, in the national innovation-driven development strategy compendium "made in China 2025" auto industry long-term development planning and another important strategic program, are clearly put forward to develop.

According to "China hydrogen infrastructure development blue book (2016) planning, our country to take the lead to achieve the hydrogen cars and filling stations in 2020 large-scale popularization and application, to keep 10000 fuel cell transport vehicles; By 2030, the fuel cell vehicle ownership by 2 million. This means that when the output of the hydrogen car industry in China is expected to exceed one trillion yuan.

It is broad space for development, at present in addition to the Guangdong Foshan and Yunfu, Shanghai, Jiangsu Rugao, Taizhou, Zhejiang, Hubei, Wuhan, and other places have been introduced to support the development of hydrogen fuel cell car policy.

In the first quarter of this year, dozens of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region a hydrogen fuel cell buses have been delivered, in the second quarter is expected to deliver 74 units; Foshan area 28 a hydrogen fuel cell bus trial operation, this year will continue to drop, 300;500 hydrogen fuel cell car logistics delivery demonstrated and operating in Shanghai.

Bottleneck: inadequate matching scale promotion

Despite the prospects is optimistic, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on the global scale are relatively weak. International consultancy E4tech surveys show that as of November 2017, fuel cell passenger car accumulative total sales of 6000 cars worldwide, less than China's 2017 pure electric passenger cars one over ten of the 468000 sales.

At present, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles mainly face the core parts of the technical bottleneck, especially the life of the pile. Distinguished young researcher, Yunfu Foshan institute of science and technology (Foshan) hydrogen Zhao Jishi standardization innovation research and development center said, although our country electric pile life now has reached 5000 hours, but as a result of vehicle electric pile is a system that includes humidifier, air compressor, hydrogen circulation pump and so on the necessary core components, its matching is an important factor to determine pile system overall performance, and these parts localization rate is still low.

And crucially, the hydrogen fuel car of the problem is that the whole industry chain needs to be developed and perfected. Hydrogen as fuel cars need to build gas stations, fuel cars to really walk into real life, also need to form a complete set of construction of filling stations." The greatest difficulty is hydrogen fuel cell vehicles promotion filling stations and other infrastructure supporting incomplete." Zhao Jishi said building day hydrogenation in 500 kilograms or more filling stations, equipment and construction cost is about 12 million yuan, 15 million yuan.

"Vehicle application and infrastructure construction is similar to the 'chicken and egg relationship." Zhao Jishi advice, it is imperative that in the hydrogen industry starts to speed up the hydrogen infrastructure construction, the hydrogen for the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and other end products applied to provide basic protection, promote the fuel cell, hydrogen fuel cell car market with the system, accelerate the industry development.

"Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from technically feasible to commercialization, there is still a long way to go." South China University of technology, college of chemistry and chemical industry research institute Zhiming Cui also thinks, at present has more "lines" are explored respectively, the outlook remains unclear.

Sally: to speed up the commercial vehicle applications and self-independence of core parts

So, how to realize the rapid development of the hydrogen fuel cell car?

Analysts believe that from the point of the industry to explore the path, on the one hand, from the commercial vehicle, make up the technology gap. On the other hand is the key core components, to achieve localization, so as to achieve the final "overtaking corner".

At present, the domestic has carried out the operation of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles pilot project, almost all concentrated in the field of commercial vehicles, including light guest FCV80 Saic chase, has been launched in Foshan, Shanghai and Dalian Fushun fixed route passenger operations. And Beijing auto Fukuda, Zhengzhou Yutong bus project bid to horse around.

In Guangdong, a relatively perfect hydrogen energy vehicles industry chain has completed a preliminary. On May 8, Mr. Edelman hydrogen fuel cell production projects settled in the south China sea, plans to invest 3 billion yuan, annual production capacity of 80000 sets of hydrogen fuel cells, three phase, in which the first project will be put into production this year, all after the project, annual output value is expected to 20 billion yuan of above.

After 3 months, Guangdong Changjiang vehicle production and hydrogen R&D center project is located in the south China sea, the project was completed and put into production in 2019, an annual output of 60000 vehicles, new energy vehicles after the completion of output will reach 20 billion yuan. Almost at the same time, Dongfeng special commercial vehicle production capacity of 5000 new energy commercial vehicle production line located in Yunfu.

On March 29, Guangdong to restore energy technology co., LTD., built in Yunfu listing plan hydrogen fuel battery core components test, production and sales ability, in order to promote domestic hydrogen fuel cell localization industry, manufacture process. Restore energy chairman Lin Qi introduction, reshape in high power DC/DC, air compressor all realize the independent research and development, the next will continue through independent research and development or joint research and development with suppliers, to 2020 the five parts of the key to realize independent research and development, and by 2025 the key components of the second generation product launch.

It is understood that in the transfer of industrial park, Foshan (Yunfu) industry at present in constructing a hydrogen and fuel cell industry system has been walking in the top, as of April this year, the successful introduction of agglomeration aggregate hydrogen 16 core enterprises, total investment exceeds 5 billion yuan, as the industrial agglomeration, will accelerate the process of the hydrogen industry manufacture.

"China will actively promote the application of fuel cell vehicles. But I don't think the hydrogen fuel cell car will soon celebrate industry tuyere, it also faces many difficulties." National new energy automotive innovation project team Wang Binggang said, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and electric vehicles more is a kind of complement each other, their respective division of labor, even there may be other techniques can be chosen.
