On February 4, the long-awaited 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was grandly opened. During this period, people can not only witness athletes from all over the world competing on the same stage, but also appreciate the unique charm from the big countries in the East.
In front of the ice and snow event, there is a world-class arena; behind the stage, it can be said that it is the stage of China's manufacturing industry.
Participating in the Winter Olympics and serving the Winter Olympics is the glory of every Chinese enterprise, as a leading enterprise in the bus industry, Yutong has a total of 950 buses including hydrogen fuel, high-end commercial vehicle T7, pure electric airport shuttle bus, high-end passenger travel, etc., to escort the participants in the travel and the successful holding of the event!
This Winter Olympics, "green" is a major highlight, the organizing committee from the energy, construction, transportation and other aspects, the use of a lot of black technology, to achieve carbon emissions all neutralized. Among these black technologies, the most obvious is the hydrogen fuel car.
Hydrogen fuel vehicles have the characteristics of zero emission, long endurance and high convenience, which is an important development direction for new energy vehicles. It is understood that the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will demonstrate the operation of more than 1,000 hydrogen fuel vehicles, equipped with more than 30 hydrogen refueling stations, which is the world's largest fuel cell vehicle demonstration. Hydrogen fuel vehicles serving the Winter Olympics will help show the world China's determination and ability to transform its energy structure and fulfill its commitment to double carbon. At the same time, improving the public's awareness of the feasibility and reliability of hydrogen fuel vehicle applications will also help promote hydrogen energy models and show the charm of Chinese manufacturing to the world!
In this event, 950 Yutong buses undertook service guarantees, covering a variety of models, of which hydrogen fuel buses are the most typical, with a total of 185 vehicles, including buses and buses, serving the whole area of Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou.
Yutong hydrogen fuel bus has the advantages of low hydrogen consumption, high safety and strong adaptability to low temperature environment. Hydrogenation time 8-10 minutes, driving range of more than 500 kilometers, can achieve -30 °C low temperature start, working conditions hydrogen consumption of 4.3kg/100km, economics reached the international leading level. The whole vehicle adopts advanced production technology and comprehensive production quality monitoring, and ensures safety and reliability through a number of tests such as collision, wading, alpine, reliable road test, vehicle climbing, etc., which is also the main reason for gaining favor.
At present, 185 Yutong hydrogen fuel buses are methodically going back and forth to and from the competition venues, Olympic villages, spectator connection points, etc., undertaking the travel guarantee work of athletes, volunteers and event participants, and adding luster to escorting ice and snow events and practicing the green Winter Olympics.
In fact, in terms of fuel cell bus products, technology and industrial layout, Yutong has always been at the forefront of the industry.
Yutong has been developing fuel cell buses since 2009, achieved the first fuel cell bus qualification certification and official announcement in China, built the first hydrogen refueling station in the Central Plains, and established the industry's first fuel cell and hydrogen energy engineering technology research center. After more than ten years of R&D accumulation, a super R&D team led by the leading talents of the National Ten Thousand Talents Plan and composed of more than 300 professional R&D personnel has been formed, and through strategic investment in key fuel cell components enterprises such as Yihuatong, long-term cooperation with universities and research institutes such as Tsinghua University, it has effectively promoted the rapid progress of products, technologies and industries in the fuel cell industry.
Before this service ice and snow event, Yutong Hydrogen Fuel Bus has already undertaken a number of key projects, including the United Nations Global Environment Facility Demonstration Operation Project. The cumulative operation of vehicles promoted nationwide has exceeded 30 million kilometers, forming an operation network centered on Zhengzhou and radiating Zhangjiakou in Hebei, Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu, Weifang in Shandong, Liupanshui in Guizhou, etc., which can provide customers with overall solutions covering hydrogen production, hydrogen transportation, hydrogenation and operation.
In 2021, Yutong also led the establishment of the Henan Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Vehicle Industry Research Institute, and comprehensively laid out fuel cell commercial vehicle products, and will continue to adhere to the innovation chain to drive the industrial chain in the future, and drive the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicle industry in mainland China through large-scale vehicle demonstration applications.
At the same time, in the service guarantee army of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the performance of Yutong's high-end commercial vehicle T7 and pure electric airport shuttle bus is also very eye-catching. It is reported that before the opening ceremony, Thai Princess Sirindhorn, Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Malapé and other international dignitaries arrived in Beijing, all escorted by T7. More than 30 Yutong pure electric airport shuttle buses are always on standby at the airport to undertake the task of connection support.
It is understood that in order to contribute a high level of service guarantee to the Winter Olympics, as early as the beginning of 2021, Yutong has begun to formulate an exclusive service guarantee plan for the event, and formed a support team of more than 60 people. During the preparatory period of more than 400 days, Yutong carried out "pre-built after-sales service", planning from all aspects such as parts support, full vehicle inspection, on-site service, driver safety training, emergency treatment, etc., and carefully deployed to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
At present, the event has begun in full swing, and the Yutong support team has also entered a combat state. In the arena and surrounding areas, Yutong vehicles and personnel can be seen everywhere busy figure, they will use 100% efforts, 100% seriousness, 100% professionalism, and strive to let the participants from all over the world feel the quality of Chinese buses, and contribute to the holding of a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Olympic event.
