Bitche Original With the development of technology and the promotion of policies, it is not difficult to find the advantages of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in daily life. There are, for example, the blue and white hydrogen fuel buses in Beijing and the fleet of hydrogen fuel vans running on the Fifth Ring Road.
At the beginning of November, Toyota Motor and the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee conducted the handover of event service vehicles, including many hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Yi Xiaosha takes this opportunity to find out for everyone, are hydrogen fuel cell vehicles ready for the 2022 ice and snow event?
The 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics have formulated corresponding measures to fulfill the "Host City Contract" and bid commitments and achieve low-carbon management goals. Low carbon management work plan. Among them, the low-carbon transportation goal is that during the event, transportation services in the competition area will basically be guaranteed by clean energy vehicles (excluding special vehicles).
The carbon emission reduction measures mentioned that the passenger vehicles used for event services basically use new energy, promote new energy vehicles in each competition area, and actively promote hydrogen that complies with the relevant model catalogues. Demonstration application of fuel vehicles; construction of supporting charging piles, hydrogenation stations, etc. to meet the operation needs of electric vehicles and hydrogen energy vehicles in the competition area.
Information from the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee shows that among the transportation service vehicles for this Winter Olympics, energy-saving and clean energy vehicles account for 100% of passenger cars. It accounted for 85.85% of all vehicles, the highest in all previous Winter Olympics. These include Toyota Mirai, Coaster Hydrogen and other models.
Toyota has provided a total of more than 2,200 event service vehicles for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics. In addition, this Winter Olympics also used Toyota hydrogen fuel There are about 200 Beiqi Foton hydrogen fuel cell buses with battery systems.
The 2022 Winter Olympics has three competition areas: Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou. Some competition venues have not yet been officially put into use. We first went to the organizing committee under limited conditions. The meeting place is Beijing Shougang Park.
Let me start with the conclusion. Within one hour in the park and half an hour at the entrance and exit of the organizing committee parking lot, no hydrogen fuel cell vehicle was found. It may be a Toyota The new car has not yet been delivered for use.
Then we went to Yanqing District and visited the places mentioned in the official information of the Winter Olympics and Sinopec. On Jingyin Road close to Yanqing city, there is a combined oil and hydrogen station under construction, which is expected to be put into use before the start of the Winter Olympics.
In addition, the other two hydrogen refueling stations in Yanqing District are located in bus stations, and multiple hydrogen refueling stations were found in one of the stations. Fuel cell bus. NoHowever, we have not found any hydrogen fuel cell vehicles delivered by Toyota. They are more instructive to the passenger car market and are more representative of the models we can choose in the future.
Sinopec’s previous information showed that on September 9 this year, four hydrogenation stations serving the Winter Olympics were put into operation. The Qingyuan Street hydrogenation station we visited is Sinopec’s first hydrogenation station in Beijing to serve the Winter Olympics. It covers an area of 2,500 square meters and has a daily hydrogen supply capacity of 1,500 kilograms. It can provide hydrogenation services for 80 12-meter buses every day. , is made by China Petrochemical and Beijing Public Transport Group jointly built a comprehensive energy service station integrating hydrogenation, photovoltaics, convenience stores, and Easy Coffee (the three hydrogenation stations in Beijing have a daily hydrogen supply capacity of 4,000 kilograms, and the Chongli hydrogenation station has a daily hydrogen supply capacity of 4,000 kg. Capacity 1000kg).
The above mentioned buses and vans, which is also the current relatively real situation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in my country, because this type of energy vehicles is mainly focused on the commercial vehicle field. Based on preliminary investigations and map searches, we went to a hydrogen refueling station in the Yongfeng area of Beijing.
We encountered a large bus undergoing hydrogenation operations. The entire refueling process took about 10 minutes. At the same time, there is also a transport vehicle unloading hydrogen at the station. In addition, we also encountered the two models mentioned above near the hydrogen refueling station. Buses serve corporate commutes, while vans are being tested. In addition, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from brands such as Sunlong Bus and Zhongzhi Yike can also be seen on site.
By checking the vehicle identification, the vehicle belongs to Shuimu Tongda Transportation Co., Ltd. It is the first hydrogen fuel cell bus operating company in Beijing. It was the first to provide hydrogen fuel cell passenger transportation services to the market in 2017. It currently has 300 hydrogen fuel cell buses; Shuimu Hydrogen City has 200 hydrogen fuel cell logistics vehicles, which will also serve the 2022 Winter Olympics. Its official website shows that there are 5 hydrogen refueling stations in the Beijing area.
In addition, Yanshan Petrochemical information is displayed. Since August, the company has steadily supplied more than 1 ton of battery hydrogen products to the Beijing market every day on average, with a maximum of nearly 3 tons in a single day.
Without policy support, it is difficult to imagine what the current domestic new energy vehicle market would be like. However, we can be proud and certain that China's new energy vehicle market is at the forefront of the world. In the same way, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are also inseparable from policy support.
In recent years, the country has also launched a number of policies to encourage the development of fuel cell vehicles, and the 2020" In the National Innovation-driven Development Strategy Outline, it is clearly mentioned that hydrogen fuel vehicles should be vigorously developed.
In addition, in order to popularize hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China, China’s First AutoCo., Ltd., Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Beijing Automotive Group Co., Ltd., Beijing Yihuatong Technology Co., Ltd., and Toyota Motor Corporation signed a joint venture contract in June 2020 to establish " United Fuel Cell System R&D (Beijing) Co., Ltd.”
The six companies will jointly plan products through consultation and carry out one-stop development of "component technology such as FC stacks", "FC system control technology" and "vehicle mounting technology" to meet the needs of the Chinese market. A series of technical research and development work. This will significantly shorten the time required from development to productization and accelerate the popularity of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China's commercial vehicle market. The company will strive to develop fuel cell systems and their main components that have excellent product capabilities in terms of power, energy consumption, durability, etc., and are lower cost and more competitive.
During the production of the content, the Sinopec Xinjiang Kuqa Green Hydrogen Demonstration Project, my country’s first 10,000-ton photovoltaic green hydrogen demonstration project, officially started construction. This is also the largest photovoltaic green hydrogen production project under construction in the world, with an annual output of green hydrogen of up to 20,000 tons after it is put into operation.
In addition, the Toyota Coaster hydrogen fuel cell vehicle serving the 2022 Winter Olympics has recently rolled off the assembly line in China. For reference, the vehicle can store 8 kilograms of hydrogen and has a cruising range of up to 600 kilometers.
Summary
Compared with pure electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have their own advantages. Major automobile manufacturers have conducted relevant research and mass production many years ago. Next, Bitauto There will also be a selection of very representative car models. With the support of policies, hydrogen production, storage, transportation, refueling and other links have made great and stable development, and the breakthrough of hydrogen fuel passenger vehicles in the civilian market is a matter of course.
Although currently hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are still mainly for commercial use, it is believed that after the Winter Olympics, relevant infrastructure and other infrastructure will contribute to the development of the civilian market.
