When it comes to new energy vehicles, most of our consumers should think of electric vehicles. In fact, the vast majority of new energy vehicles on the market are indeed electric vehicles, but new energy vehicles are a broad concept, not only pure trams.
At the recent Beijing Winter Olympics, many of the cars served were hydrogen-powered, sponsored by Toyota to the organizers. And not long ago, the Beijing area built more than 70 hydrogen energy filling stations in one go, what does this mean?
Last year, there was a very interesting quarrel, that is, Honda vs. Toyota. Honda told Toyota that electric vehicles are the future, you don't want to develop hydrogen energy, Toyota is not convinced. And Toyota is indeed not too much like we imagine, it does not promote electric vehicles, but constantly develop hydrogen energy vehicles, so now in terms of electric vehicles, Toyota is indeed lagging behind, but now the vast majority of hydrogen energy patents on the market are firmly grasped by Toyota.
Not only Toyota has developed the hydrogen energy market, But Changan Automobile has also begun to develop hydrogen energy vehicles. In the past few days, Changan's latest model, the Deep Blue C385, has been further exposed, which is Changan's first hydrogen energy vehicle that is really about to be mass-produced, and its power is divided into three parts, namely pure EV, extender power and hydrogen electric drive, which should be the first mass-produced hydrogen energy car in China.
The exterior design of the whole model is quite subversive, and it is a new car belonging to the "big man", with a length of more than 4.8 meters. According to the manufacturer, when full of hydrogen energy, the endurance is as high as 700km, and the actual use cost is less than 0.2 yuan per kilometer. Like electric cars, it is quite economical.
And Toyota's development of pure energy car is not too the same, this C385 daily use is pure electric drive, if the state of power loss, hydrogen energy will be used as a backup energy, but still will not be directly involved in the drive, by consuming hydrogen energy to supplement the battery, the car will be driven by the motor and battery. This ingenious design effectively solves the instability caused by the large-scale storage of hydrogen energy in new cars, and because it is a backup energy source, the stock is relatively small. In fact, such a design concept and the extended range power have similarities.
This hydrogen energy car is a bold attempt by Changan, which represents that domestic cars are actually focusing on hydrogen energy vehicles. At present, the development of hydrogen vehicles is still slow, mainly due to the unstable characteristics of hydrogen. If the restrictions in this regard are solved in the future, I believe that domestic cars will also expand rapidly in the field of hydrogen energy, just like pure trams, after all, independent brands have long been laid out in this regard, which is actually the biggest significance of Changan hydrogen energy vehicles.
