BYD uses fuel cell trucks for distribution

With the help of subsidies, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China have continued to grow. Thus, the rapid development of the lithium power industry has been driven. The technical indicators that meet the subsidy policy have become the key to whether Hedongli battery companies can receive subsidies. The large-scale promotion of fuel cell vehicles also depends on the support of subsidy policies.

It is understood that, in accordance with national and local government standards and technical requirements for fuel cell vehicle subsidies in 2018, Fuel cell fuel cells used in fuel cell vehicles should meet the high and low temperature storage requirements of -40 °C to 60 °C in the "Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Module for Road Vehicles"(Standard No. GB/T33978-2017) to obtain corresponding subsidies.

According to the relevant requirements of the "proton exchange membrane fuel cell module for road vehicles of GB/T33978-2017", it is necessary to test the products at low temperatures -10 °C, -20 °C, -30 °C, -40 °C and high temperature 60 °C, respectively. Carry out storage, air tightness, operation test, gas test, etc..

It is worth noting that there are only a few fuel cell companies that can support fuel cell vehicles and products that meet the subsidy policy targets and thus receive subsidies, compared with dozens of power cell companies that have more than 1,000 new energy vehicles in the recommended catalogue. This shows that Chinese fuel cell technology has yet to improve.

In fact, after years of hard work, China has mastered the core technology of fuel cell electric reactor and its key materials, power system, vehicle integration and hydrogen energy infrastructure.

But it still faces the problems of low efficiency, low integration, reliability and stability.

Experts believe that the hydrogen fuel cell line, China's hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles are also at the world's leading level, passenger vehicles do have a gap, but this is also related to China's strategic focus on electric vehicles.

Therefore, to accelerate the development of fuel cell vehicles, on the one hand, it needs the support of government policies, and on the other hand, fuel cell companies and car companies need to work hard to improve product performance and overcome the current technical difficulties.

Here are some new developments in the fuel cell sector this week:

1, BYD and the United States cooperated in the development of hydrogen / electric buses

BYD will develop a hydrogen fuel cell electric bus with a hybrid power company in the United States. The hydrogen fuel cell bus will use BYD's battery-electric platform to integrate hydrogen fuel cell technology to eliminate the charging process, according to foreign media reports.

2, H2SYS launch hybrid fuel cell system

Foreign media reported that H2SYS demonstrated its new hybrid fuel cell system AIRCELL. Its new hybrid fuel cell system AIRCELL has a power range of 0.5 to 3.2 kW at the Hannover Industrial Fair.

The whole series of AIRCELL products have built-in native control firmware and embedded electronic devices.

3, pH Matte sponsored by the United States Department of Energy $1 million

According to foreign media reports, pH Matte currently receives more than $1 million from the U.S. Department of Energy. This funding is used to continuously develop its COR-Cat highly active catalyst material, which can be used by proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

4, Toyota and 7-11 cooperation to introduce fuel cell trucks for distribution

Toyota Motor Co. and 7-Eleven Japanese companies have announced that they will introduce fuel cell trucks in the distribution of convenience stores from the spring of 2019. Stores will also use fuel cells for power supply from the fall of 2019, according to Japanese media.

5, Shanghai Shenli fuel cell module passed the National mandatory inspection certification

Recently, the C290-30 fuel cell module independently developed by Shanghai Shenli Technology Co., Ltd. passed the National mandatory inspection and certification. Its low temperature and high temperature storage passed the national standard requirements, and the power density of the electric reactor achieved 2.0 KW/L under the condition of no moisture increase., to reach the leading domestic level.

6, Zhongyu fuel cell engine passed high and low temperature test

Recently, Zhongyu Power received a mandatory inspection report on the high and low temperature storage of two 35 kW and 41 kW automotive hydrogen fuel cell engines issued by the National Car Quality Supervision and Inspection Center(Tianjin Automobile Testing Center). This marks the two engines have met the latest subsidy policy for fuel cell cars in 2018.

7, electric car layout fuel cell high-end passenger car

A few days ago, the electric car and Ningbo Cixi government signed a commercial vehicle production base agreement. After the base is completed, it will reach an annual production scale of 60,000 new energy commercial vehicles. The first batch of vehicles will be applied to the logistics field. It is expected to be officially put into production next year.

The first commercial car plans include pure electric models and fuel cell models. Fuel cell technology will also be applied to high-end passenger cars.

8, Jiangsu Qingneng landed on the new three boards

June 1, Jiangsu Qingneng(872589) listed a new three board, the company committed to fuel cell reactor and fuel cell system research and development, production and sales.
