【Haichuan Hydrogen Energy】Can store 8 kilograms of hydrogen, providing a range of 600 kilometers. Hydrogen-powered vehicles produced in Chengdu will serve the Winter Olympics
Thread Content
Sichuan FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. is currently accelerating the production of a batch of hydrogen fuel cell Corolla Bus vehicles, which will provide green and low-carbon transportation solutions for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. It is reported that these vehicles are equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell power system developed through a collaboration between Toyota and Yihuatong. This system consists of a 74KW hydrogen fuel cell and a high-pressure hydrogen storage system with a pressure of 70MPa; it can store 8 kilograms of hydrogen, allowing for a driving range of up to 600 kilometers. The aforementioned high-pressure hydrogen storage system was developed and manufactured by Chengdu Yihuatong. It features carbon fiber fully wrapped type-3 gas cylinders with 70MPa aluminum alloy liners, offering advantages such as low compression energy consumption, fast charging and discharging speeds, And high safety and reliability. As part of the project titled \"Research on Key Technologies for High-Pressure On-Vehicle Hydrogen Storage Systems and Industrialization Demonstration,\" it has been selected as a major research project by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Science and Technology for 2021. These hydrogen fuel cell buses manufactured in Sichuan will provide low-carbon, comfortable, and efficient transportation services for athletes and spectators from around the world during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. They will help realize the concept of a \"green Olympic Games\" and contribute to achieving the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
It seems this figure is incorrect; maybe the reporter misheard it. It can store 8 kilograms of hydrogen, allowing a driving range of 600 kilometers, with only 1.3 kilograms of hydrogen needed per 100 kilometers
This figure is roughly the same; according to studies and news reports, it’s basically 100 kilometers/kg. What puzzles me about this news is Toyota’s air tank and Chengdu’s system. But ten years ago, Toyota was already able to produce systems with 70 MPa pressure, while Riho had systems with over 800 MPa pressure. How is it that by using domestic technology now, Air China’s costs have been reduced so much? Moreover, is there now a 70MPA cylinder standard in China?
Developed and manufactured in Chengdu by Yihuatong – this company is very active
Automobile companies are top sponsors of the Olympics, and this might also be one of the reasons for using this brand this time
I saw a news report yesterday saying that the cost of green hydrogen in the UK is lower than that of gray hydrogen
Founded in 1999, with only 2 million in actual capital invested; the CEO is just 41 years old and holds positions in over 20 companies. Whether it’s active or not, I understand everything that goes on inside.
It could be the company responsible for implementing the project
It depends on whether Japan will open up patents for hydrogen production and utilization. It is precisely because of the refusal to make patents available that we chose the technology route of electric new energy vehicles; if both routes were pursued simultaneously, the issue of insufficient range in cold winters in the north could be resolved.
