More than 200 domestic fuel cell electric vehicles have been put into demonstration operation

The 2016 Cross-Strait Fuel Cell Technology and Industry Development Summit Forum was held recently in the Wuhan Development Zone (Hannan District). The event was jointly organized by the Fuel Cell Branch of the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association and the Fuel Cell Promotion Office of the China Economic Research Institute of Taiwan.

It is reported that Audi, Toyota, Nissan and other international auto giants have continued to invest in research and development in the field of fuel cell vehicles, and have made staged breakthroughs. Major companies are increasing the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles. Domestic enterprises are also exploring. Up to now, more than 200 fuel cell electric vehicles have been put into demonstration operation, serving major events such as the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo, with a cumulative mileage of more than 100,000 kilometers.

Professor Yi Baolian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that at present, China's automotive fuel cells are relatively close in performance to the international first-class level, but there is still a certain gap in reliability and durability. To realize the industrialization of fuel cells for vehicles, problems such as mass production of key materials and dynamic load control strategies should be addressed. He said that the fuel cell for vehicles was first promoted in public transportation facilities, and then popularized in the field of small cars, which is a reasonable path for the development of fuel cells.
