At the end of January 2018, Yutong won the bid for 25 fuel cell passenger cars in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province. The model is a 12-meter fuel cell city bus. As the host city of the 24th Winter Olympics, Zhangjiakou City aims to build a green winter Olympics and is committed to pioneering the use of China. The most advanced hydrogen fuel cell bus. A few days ago, 25 Yutong fuel cell buses will be sent to Zhangjiakou to bring new green traffic experience to the public with more cutting-edge technology.
The actual road runs over 50,000 kilometers
High reliability is good for commercial operation 'Last connection'
As we all know, the hydrogen fuel cell bus has the advantages of zero emissions, long battery life, and short hydrogenation time. It is considered to be one of the ultimate development directions for new energy buses. In recent years, fuel cells have achieved key materials, stacks and systems. The gratifying result is that the commercialization of fuel cell buses has been growing louder and louder, and reliability verification as the final level of its commercialization has directly affected the practical application of fuel cell buses.
Yutong, as a leading company in the passenger car industry, relies on its new energy bus technology advantages to target advanced domestic fuel cells and hydrogen energy technologies, integrates all resources to develop fuel cell buses, and solidly advances its reliability technology upgrade. Currently, Yutong has Breakthroughs in vehicle integration and control technologies, electrical-electric hybrid power system matching technologies, and hydrogen-electric-structure coupled safety technology, and many other key technologies, vehicle safety, economics, and power have all reached industry leading levels.
Vehicle performance test
In order to ensure the reliability of the vehicle, Yutong also set up a reliability test team for fuel cell buses and conducted actual road test on multiple bus lines in Zhengzhou. It is understood that the team consists of hydrogen energy, fuel cells, electronic control, Professional engineers such as electrical and mechanical components, responsible for the verification of vehicle reliability and professional technical research in various fields.
Road test vehicles are being hydrogenated
Dr. Li Feiqiang, head of the Yutong fuel cell bus, said that as of mid-March 2018, the cumulative road test run of Yutong's third-generation fuel cell bus has exceeded 50,000 kilometers, with safe hydrogenation exceeding 40,000 cubic meters, and reliability of fuel cell buses. , Durability and environmental adaptability have been further verified and improved.
In-depth layout, system planning
Boost the development of fuel cell bus industry
Technical breakthroughs have always been the key to the development of the fuel cell bus industry. Yutong knows this and has continuously increased its investment in fuel cells in recent years. It has provided high levels of support in terms of personnel and equipment configuration, and fuel cell bus research and development has also achieved encouraging results. Progress.
In terms of personnel, under the leadership of Li Feiqiang, the deputy director of the National Electric Vehicle Electronic Control and Safety Engineering Technology Research Center, and the expert evaluation expert of the National Science and Technology Plan Expert Database, Yutong Bus has formed a full-time 45-cell fuel battery with 9 doctors at the core. The R&D team focuses on fuel cell power system matching, fuel cell system integration and control, on-board hydrogen system integration, and rapid hydrogenation technology development, while maintaining close cooperation with leading research institutes in many fuel cell industry at home and abroad.
In terms of equipment configuration, the first professional research and development platform for fuel cells and hydrogen energy in China's passenger car industry - 'Zhengzhou Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Engineering Technology Research Center' was approved for establishment at the end of 2017. The R&D center has a total planned area of more than 10,000 buildings. Square meters, At present, the center has preliminarily built fuel cell system test benches, electric stack test benches, electrolysis water hydrogen production equipment and other fuel cell related test platforms, with fuel cell vehicles, systems, electric stacks, on-board hydrogen systems, etc. The testing and verification capabilities of key components lay a solid foundation for the key technologies of fuel cells.
The establishment of this center will greatly enhance the technical R&D strength of Yutong's hydrogen fuel cell buses, promote the technological progress of the new energy bus industry, and at the same time promote the industrialization of fuel cell buses through the actual application of complete vehicles.
Yutong Hydrogen Refueling Station
In addition, Yutong Bus has also built the first hydrogen refueling station in the Central Plains area. Since it invested in research and development of fuel cell buses in 2009, Yutong Bus has passed the first certification of fuel cell bus production in China in the past 10 years and has obtained the first fuel cell in China. Bus announcements and qualifications for on-board hydrogen system installation in 2017.
The accumulation of years of technology research and development has also laid a solid foundation for the commercial operation of Yutong Fuel Cell Bus. In September 2017, Yutong Fuel Cell Bus successfully won the bid for the third phase of the United Nations project. The successful model will be operated in Zhengzhou City. Today, Yutong The bus won another bid for 25 fuel cell buses in Zhangjiakou. It can be seen that the commercialization of Yutong's fuel cell bus is accelerating. In the future, under the support of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Engineering Technology Research Center, Yutong will represent China's fuel cell bus technology. The level will reach a new level, market-oriented operations will also achieve new breakthroughs, thus steadily promoting the development of fuel cell buses to achieve industrialization.
