Innovation, Excellence, Transcendence
The 24th Winter Olympics has come to an end in Beijing. Adhering to the advanced concept of "ecological priority, resource conservation and environmental protection", this Winter Olympics has focused on the global gaze and fully demonstrated the "beauty of China" and "the strength of China".
According to the bus terminal network, more than 1,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles serving the Beijing and Zhangdong Winter Olympics include more than 800 hydrogen fuel buses. This is not only in response to the call of the national "double carbon" strategy, but also a perfect interpretation of the Green and Technology Winter Olympics.
The participation of such a large number of fuel cell buses in high-standard world-class events is not only a major milestone event in the history of the development of fuel cell buses in mainland China, but also a grand event that has never been seen in the world.
It is reported that the more than 800 fuel cell buses serving the Beijing-Zhang Winter Olympics are mainly provided by mainstream car companies such as Foton Ouhui (515 vehicles), Yutong Bus (185 vehicles), Geely Interstellar Bus (80 vehicles), and Zhongtong Bus (40 vehicles). These bus companies not only provided a large number of fuel cell buses, but also completed the traffic support task excellently, "growing a face and fighting for the light" for the motherland.
The reason why the service guarantee of the Beijing-Zhang Winter Olympics has achieved great success is inseparable from the fact that the bus industry, especially mainstream car companies, has been adhering to the demonstration and promotion of fuel cell buses in the terminal market in recent years.
According to the terminal license plate data, the mainland fuel cell bus sold 431 units in 2018, 1173 units in 2019, 1353 units in 2020, 1033 vehicles in 2021, and 116 units in January 2022.
From 2018 to January 2022, the bus industry demonstrated and promoted a total of 4106 fuel cell buses in the terminal market.
In recent years, the sales volume of fuel cell bus terminal market is as follows:
It can be seen that in the recent 2021-2022 January, the cumulative number of fuel cell buses promoted and applied in the terminal market reached 1149.
(Usually, the last quarter of each year, especially the last month, is the key to the sales of bus companies, but due to the holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the opportunity for this round of sprints lies in preparing for the Winter Olympics, so the data statistics period is extended, and the deadline is January 2022.) ）
So, what are the characteristics of the fuel cell bus terminal market for the promotion and application?
First, in terms of the number of vehicles promoted, Foton Ouhui bus is the most, Yutong ranks second, and Geely interstellar bus is third
From the perspective of enterprises participating in the promotion of fuel cell bus demonstration applications, from 2021 to January 2022, Foton Ouhui buses were promoted and applied 435 vehicles, ranking first; Yutong buses were promoted 170 vehicles, ranking second; Geely interstellar buses promoted 96 vehicles ranked third. The specific number of fuel cell buses promoted and applied by various car companies is as follows:

Thus:
The number of fuel cell buses promoted by Foton Ouhui accounts for nearly 40% of the industry's share (37.86%), which can be described as a ride.
According to the bus terminal network, Futian has a large number of promotions in the Beijing area, 382 vehicles, which may be mainly to prepare for the demonstration operation of the Beijing Winter Olympics; followed by 40 vehicles in the Hebei region; and again in the Chongqing area, the number is 10.
The number of Yutong bus promotions accounts for 14.8% of the industry's share, ranking second. Its main promotion area is also in Beijing, with 100 vehicles; followed by Hubei, with 39 vehicles; and again in Hebei, with a number of 30 vehicles.
Geely Star Bus promotion accounted for 8.4% of the industry's share, ranking third. Its main promotion area is Shandong, with 50 vehicles; followed by Hebei, with 30 vehicles; and again in Zhejiang, with 16 vehicles.
Geely Interstellar Bus as a "rising star" in the bus industry, in the field of buses with many strong hands, the fuel cell bus market can enter the top three and become the head brand of the mainland fuel cell bus market, which shows its extraordinary strength.
Especially during the Beijing Winter Olympics, the 80 fuel cell city bus C12Fs that Geely Interstellar participated in the service performed more prominently.
According to the bus terminal network, Geely interstellar hydrogen fuel cell bus C12F adopts the world's top hydrogen fuel stack technology, and the hydrogen consumption of 100 kilometers is only 6.5kg; the hydrogen fuel system equipped with it integrates 6 hydrogen safety warnings to greatly ensure the safety of hydrogen; the vehicle has undergone strict "three high" verification and has a stronger adaptability to extreme environments.
Not only that, the vehicle is also equipped with remote real-time monitoring, road condition early warning, fault diagnosis and other functions in operation, which can be compatible with the existing scheduling and management platform of the bus company, and greatly improve the operational efficiency.
Most of the scenes in Zhangjiakou are alpine mountains, with large slopes, many curves, and harsh climatic conditions, which require very high requirements for vehicle operation and service support teams. With good performance, excellent quality and first-class service, Geely Interstellar Fuel Cell City Bus ensured that during the Winter Olympics, the number of bicycles ran for 8 hours per day, the number of connections averaged 350 people per car per day, the cumulative operating mileage of vehicles reached 380,000 kilometers, and the cumulative number of passengers reached 476,000 times, and the commuting service of the Beijing Winter Olympics was completed excellently.
This is enough to prove that Geely Interstellar Bus can advance into the top three of the fuel cell bus market, it is not accidental, it is completely based on its own hard power.
Second, from the perspective of promotion area, Beijing is the main battlefield, followed by Hebei, and then Shandong
Statistics on the number of major regional promotions of fuel cell buses from 2021 to January 2022 (only more than 50 areas are counted) are as follows:
The above table shows that in the regional market for fuel cell bus promotion from 2021 to January 2022:
Beijing promoted 503 vehicles, accounting for 43.8%, ranking first, mainly in preparation for the Winter Olympics;
Hebei promoted 140 vehicles, accounting for 12.2%, ranking second;
Shandong promoted 117 vehicles, accounting for 10.2%, ranking third;
Zhejiang promoted 71 vehicles, accounting for 6.2%, ranking fourth;
Jiangsu promoted 70 vehicles, accounting for 6.1%, ranking fifth.
It can be seen that since 2021, the main promotion and application area of fuel cell buses in the mainland is Beijing and the surrounding areas of Beijing, followed by relatively developed areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
It is foreseeable that through the tempering and display of the "big stage" of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the mainland fuel cell bus will surely usher in faster development on the basis of demonstration and promotion in recent years.
