At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, hydrogen fuel vehicles competed to "show muscle".
In this green Winter Olympics, there are Yutong, Henan Yu hydrogen equipment, etc., together with many car companies, hydrogen refueling stations, forming the world's largest hydrogen fuel vehicle operation chain, in the Winter Olympics to show the charm of new energy technology.
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is undoubtedly the best runway for the development of green energy and science and technology, and it is also a watershed in the development of hydrogen energy. "High-tech enterprises that develop future industries get the most advanced display platform."
【Henan company provides fuel for hydrogen fuel vehicles at the Winter Olympics】
Futian, Yutong, Zhongtong, Geely and other major car companies are the protagonists of this "hydrogen" strength show, covering buses, cars, special vehicles such as snow wax cars and other vehicles.
Yutong provided 185 hydrogen fuel buses, as well as T7, airport shuttle buses, high-end passenger travel and other 950 buses to escort the event, Foton's Ouhui Bus provided 515 hydrogen fuel buses for the Winter Olympics, Toyota provided 107 Costa hydrogen engine minibuses and 140 second-generation MIRAI hydrogen fuel cell cars.
In this hydrogen energy vehicle show, in order to ensure the safe and stable supply of hydrogen energy, hydrogen refueling stations are their fuel support.
At the Yanqingyuan Hydrogen Refueling Station in Beijing's Zhongguancun, a hydrogen energy bus was "recharged" on the road in just 10 minutes, providing green and clean transportation services for the Beijing Winter Olympics. The gate of the hydrogen refueling station is affixed with a striking logo "'Science and Technology Winter Olympics' Key Special Project", which is a demonstration project of "hydrogen energy travel" key technology research and development and application undertaken by Henan Yu Hydrogen Equipment Co., Ltd., a high-tech enterprise in Henan.
For the demonstration of Henan's hydrogen energy strength at the Winter Olympics, Zhang Chenyang, marketing director of Henan Yu Hydrogen Equipment Co., Ltd. and vice president of Henan Yu Hydrogen Engineering Research Institute, mentioned that in 2019, when Zhongguancun Yanqingyuan bid to the whole country to build a hydrogen refueling station, Yu Hydrogen Equipment submitted information. In the end, after a series of selections to win the bid, the first phase was completed in June 2020, and the second phase of the project was done in 2021.
What is the strength to win the bid among many competitors?
According to the data, Henan Yu Hydrogen Equipment Co., Ltd. was registered in Xinxiang National High-tech Development Zone, known as "China's Battery Industry Capital", on August 1, 2017, with a registered capital of 80 million yuan, is a high-tech enterprise relying on Tongji University, a well-known university in China, for technical support, is committed to the research and development and production of key equipment, components and new materials related to hydrogen energy technology. Jointly invested and established by Shanghai Weining New Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd., Henan Battery Research Institute Co., Ltd. and Xinxiang High-tech Investment and Development Co., Ltd., it is one of the main design planners of Henan Province's key support enterprises and six key special projects in Henan Province, "Zhongyuan Hydrogen Energy Base Project", and one of the initiators of "Foshan Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Industry Innovation Alliance".
Enterprise investigation shows that the other two major shareholders of Henan Yu Hydrogen Equipment Co., Ltd., Xinxiang High-tech Investment and Development Co., Ltd. and Henan Battery Research Institute Co., Ltd., have the figure of Xinxiang State-owned Capital Operation Group Co., Ltd. behind them. This also shows that the origin of Yu hydrogen equipment is quite extraordinary.
Zhang Chenyang said that in the process of development, Xinxiang, the "battery capital of China", has experienced the twists and turns of the collapse of Xinxiang Huanyu power supply in the early years, hoping to overtake in this wave of new energy development. Finally, Tongji University, which has many years in the field of new energy research and more than 20 years of technology accumulation, has become the technical support of enterprises, and Xinxiang State-owned Assets has now yu hydrogen equipment through capital investment.
【We are fully promoting the industrialization of key equipment for hydrogen refueling stations】
Technically, Yu Hydrogen Equipment also lives up to expectations.
