According to the relevant information of the first commercial vehicle website and the statistics of traffic insurance, the cumulative sales of fuel cell heavy duty trucks from January to March this year were 198 units, a year-on-year increase of 87%, outperforming the new energy heavy duty truck market. Among them, the ChangZheng hydrogen energy heavy duty truck ranked first in the sales volume in the first quarter with 45 registered vehicles, leading the fuel cell heavy duty truck industry with a market share of 22.73%.

Gaseous hydrogen + liquid hydrogen   Two core systems of hydrogen energy heavy duty truck

FTXT Energy and ChangZheng Automobile focus on the two major hydrogen energy applications of gaseous hydrogen and liquid hydrogen, with hydrogen fuel cell heavy duty trucks as the main body, focusing on long-haul and heavy-duty transportation and large-capacity on-board hydrogen storage needs, accelerating the research and development breakthroughs of core technologies and key components of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and actively promoting the demonstration and application of fuel cell heavy duty trucks.

In the field of gaseous hydrogen heavy duty trucks, the two core power systems (110kW high-power fuel cell engine, on board 1680L/40kg hydrogen storage system) and key core components of Chang Zheng Automobile’s gaseous hydrogen fuel cell tractor are independently developed and produced by FTXT, the system has technical characteristics such as high efficiency, high integration, high durability, low hydrogen consumption, high safety, etc., and has fast refuelingand long range, which can meet the long-haul and heavy-duty endurance needs of the vehicle in various working conditions.

In the field of liquid hydrogen heavy duty trucks, the "New ChangZheng 1" jointly developed by FTXT Energy and ChangZheng Automobile is equipped with FTXT Energy's "Jupiter" series on board liquid hydrogen storage system. The hydrogen storage capacity of a single tank is as high as 80kg, and the hydrogen storage density is ≥ 8wt%, hydrogenation flow ≥ 8kg/min, the comprehensive performance has reached the international advanced level, and the endurance range has exceeded 1000 kilometers, which can effectively alleviate the pressure of transportation distance.

Through the "gas hydrogen + liquid hydrogen" dual technical route and the dual-core layout of "metal stack+ graphite stack", FTXT Energy is promoting hydrogen energy heavy duty trucks from short-haul transportation to long-haul transportation, and continues to extend to ships, industry, construction and other fields.

Jointly promote the large-scale launch of hydrogen energy heavy duty trucks

At the same time, FTXT Energy has joined hands with vehicle brands such as ChangZheng, Sany, Skywell, JieFang, Yutong, Dongfeng, Foton, and Dayun to focus on key development areas of the hydrogen energy industry such as hydrogen heavy duty truck operation and ecological platform construction, and unite industry partners with zero-carbon logistics needs to carry out in-depth ecological cooperation based on operational needs to jointly promote the commercialization of hydrogen energy heavy duty trucks, including:

Joint with HBIS Industrial Technology, a large-scale demonstration of 49-ton hydrogen heavy duty trucks was built in Tangshan Port, 200 units were planned to be put into operation, and the first batch of 20 vehicles were put into operation in February this year, and the cooperation strategy of 500 hydrogen heavy duty trucks was signed again at the 2023 annual press conference of FTXT Energy. The signed vehicles will serve the new energy transportation business of HBIS Group and upstream and downstream customers, and jointly promote HBIS Group build a green and recyclable industrial ecological transportation system.

Signed a strategic cooperation with Dadaoqiangyuan for 150 hydrogen fuel cell heavy duty trucks, which will be put into the transportation work of Jinxi Group and empower the green and low-carbon transformation of the industrial park.

Jointly with New Tianjin Steel & Deda Logistics, 30 hydrogen heavy duty trucks were put into operation at Tianjin Port Terminal to help the steel manufacturing industry with the highest carbon emissions, build green logistics and transportation, coordinate to break the pain points of carbon emissions, comprehensively promote the green transformation of the steel industry, and implement the dual carbon goal with the momentum of "acceleration.

Under the background of energy security and the "Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy, hydrogen energy has become an important choice to optimize the future energy structure, and more scenario-based application requirements for hydrogen heavy duty trucks are being rolled out. FTXT Energy will continue to work with industry chain partners, fully based on market customer needs, relying on the promotion foundation and experience of hydrogen fuel cell heavy duty truck demonstration projects, providing customized comprehensive solutions for more users, and contributing to the realization of the "Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" goal.
