The appearance is cute panda, but "on the body" is equipped with cutting -edge hydrogen fuel cell technology. On August 27, a row of hydrogen energy buses appeared at the Clean Energy and Equipment Exhibition and occupied the "C position" at the import place, which attracted the attention of many participants.

Hydrogen energy buses appear at the clean energy equipment exhibition.

Hydrogen energy buses are motivated by hydrogen fuel cells. The reporter did not find the "black tail" of the exhaust pipe on the body. On -site staff told reporters that this was because the "exhaust gas" was the water vapor.

Hydrogenation stations can easily give hydrogen energy buses "nutrients". The staff of Chengdu Bus Co., Ltd. told reporters: "When the power is tense, the advantage of hydrogen energy is reflected. It only takes more than 10 minutes to add hydrogen at a time, which can be battery life 500 kilometers."

He introduced that, unlike traditional gas and pure electric buses, hydrogen vehicles also have the characteristics of long battery life, zero pollution emissions, and no secondary pollution. The energy conversion rate of hydrogen energy vehicles is high, and the chemical reaction products are only electrical, thermal and water vapor. It truly realizes the "hydrogen installation" of zero emissions, zero fuel consumption, and zero pollution. " Travel is of great significance. "

As early as 2018, the first batch of hydrogen energy buses was put into operation at the relevant demonstration line of Chengdu. At present, Chengdu Bus Co., Ltd. has a total of 200 hydrogen energy buses in operation, including demonstration routes in Chengdu Laudu District, Longquanyi District and other places, and matching hydrogen refueling stations.

Earlier this year, 10 hydrogen fuel cell buses also operated on the 2nd road demonstration line of Deyang's main urban area.

With the increase of running vehicles, the cost of use of hydrogen vehicles has also reduced a lot. "Our hydrogen energy buses need to consume 4.5 kg of hydrogen for 100 kilometers. A few years ago, it cost more than 200 yuan to add one kilogram of hydrogen, and now it only costs 40 yuan."

Why does the cost drop so fast? He explained that with the expansion of the scale of the hydrogen vehicle market, transportation costs are also decreasing. In addition, more industrial capital has accelerated into the hydrogen energy track, while competition is intensified, and the cost will inevitably decline quickly.

"We are driving a full -horse for production of hydrogen vehicles." He said that in the next two years, as the scale of hydrogen vehicles expands, the cost of hydrogen refreshing is expected to decrease by another 50 %, and its use cost will be significantly lower than that of fuel vehicles. At the same time, as an important province of automobile production, Sichuan Province can basically solve the problem of industrial chain supporting problems, which means that the production cost of hydrogen energy vehicles will also be greatly reduced, and the competitive advantage will be more obvious.

As a proof, at the exhibition site that day, the upstream enterprise of fuel cell engines, driving motors and controllers for this hydrogen buses -Oriental Electric Group Co., Ltd. is also showing the company's hydrogen energy development.
