After Chery's latest 1.6T engine stunned the world, Chery surprised us again!
The 9th China (Wuhu) Science Products Expo Fair was officially opened in Wuhu, Anhui Province. Chery Automobile brought the latest generation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and "zero emission" hydrogen fuel components to the Expo.
According to the on-site staff, this hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is based on Therizo 5, equipped with a leading 30 kW metal bipolar plate fuel cell stack, while carrying 2 35MPa hydrogen storage tanks, hydrogen storage capacity of 3.58 kg, NEDC comprehensive working conditions of the driving range of up to 540 kilometers, uniform speed mileage can reach 700 kilometers. Compared to the time it takes for the battery to charge from zero to at least 1 hour, the car only takes three minutes to hydrogenate.
In fact, as the earliest layout of domestic hydrogen energy car companies, Chery has long been in the field of hydrogen energy. At last year's Science and Technology Expo, Chery already demonstrated the Arrizo 5 hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, and today's exhibition is the fourth generation of range extender fuel cell technology. In the next step, Chery will study and lay out full-power fuel cell passenger cars with greater power and higher cruising range. At present, Chery has also completed the development of 12-meter fuel cell buses and fuel cell logistics vehicles, and will soon be put into demonstration operations in several key cities such as Wuhu and Guiyang.
Compared with pure electric vehicles, although the mileage of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is comparable, the refueling time is shorter, the convenience is stronger, and it has zero emission, no noise and high efficiency. Many netizens are worried about where to fill hydrogen, in fact, the mainland hydrogen energy sources are extensive, both a large number of industrial by-product hydrogen, and a large number of abandoned wind and abandoned photoelectric, low valley electricity and other existing resources for hydrogen production, the current operation and construction of hydrogen refueling stations are 19 and 45 respectively. It is believed that with the development of technology and the passage of time, there will be more and more hydrogen refueling stations, and the cost of hydrogenation will continue to decrease.
As for the safety of hydrogen refueling stations and hydrogen fuel vehicles, the safety problems of hydrogen energy production, storage and transportation have been well solved. At the beginning of the birth of toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel vehicle, there was an experiment of shooting hydrogen storage cylinders with a 5mm caliber bullet, although the bullet shot through the outer wall of the hydrogen storage cylinder, the integrity of the hydrogen storage cylinder remained intact, and the hydrogen gas inside only overflowed from a small hole and dissipated in the air, and no bursting and explosion occurred. And hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are equipped with anti-leakage safety systems, even if the body is on fire, hydrogen will be discharged at a safe speed without explosion.
In fact, the hydrogen safety problem that many people are worried about is being solved, and hydrogen energy is currently a very safe and more environmentally friendly energy source. It is believed that with the continuous maturity of Chery's hydrogen energy technology, more and more hydrogen energy vehicles will appear around us.
