BAIC's "carbon" technology under the background of "double carbon"

In the past two years, the most mentioned hot word on the Internet is "double carbon". Since 2016, when the mainland took the lead in signing the Paris Agreement and actively promoted its implementation, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become the main theme of national industrial development, and have been included in the 14th Five-Year Plan of the country, and green development has become an indispensable topic for every car company.

The proposal and implementation of the "double carbon" goal reflects China's efforts as a responsible major country to actively participate in and lead the global green and low-carbon development in terms of development concepts, development models and practical actions. As the pillar of a country's automobile industry, state-owned automobile companies have an unshirkable responsibility to achieve the "double carbon" goal.

Take the lead in taking action State-owned enterprises take charge

More than a decade ago, after the Copenhagen World Climate Conference, the spearhead of environmental protection was pointed at the automobile industry, so the "car", an industrial product since its birth in the 19th century, has been undertaking the "green" test. Since then, China has accelerated the pace of new energy development, taken the initiative to assume the leading role of the world's "double carbon" goal, and opened a new era of green carbon reduction development.

Since 2009, with the continuous progress of science and technology, the development of the new energy automobile industry is changing with each passing day, and enterprises have laid out, including the new forces of "Internet car manufacturing" that have emerged in recent years, and the industry as a whole has shown a prosperous scene. State-owned automobile enterprises represented by BAIC Group play an important task and role in the "double carbon" business in the mainland.

BAIC's new energy development path includes two important development routes: one is a pure electric vehicle route with three electric technology as the core, and the other is a hydrogen fuel bus route with hydrogen fuel technology as the core. The two development routes that go back to the roots are earlier than the Copenhagen World Climate Conference.

Beijing EU7, a pure electric model that provides transportation support services for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

BAIC's Sandian technology research dates back to November 2009. At that time, BAIC established an industrial park integrating parts-level and vehicle-level R&D verification, production and logistics in Daxingcaiyu Town, Beijing, and the research and development and verification of its core technologies of Sandian also opened an era of specialization. BAIC's hydrogen fuel technology research is earlier, dating back to 2006, and it jointly undertakes the research and development project of hydrogen fuel cell buses in the national "863 Plan" with Tsinghua University and Yihuatong. Just two years later, BAIC's first generation of hydrogen fuel cell buses debuted at the 2008 Olympic Games, and with more than 800 hydrogen fuel cell buses serving the 2022 Winter Olympics, BAIC became the only large-scale vehicle company serving the Double Olympics.

Concentrate on innovative research, a large number of core technology output

On the road of double carbon, BAIC not only has a strong sense of responsibility, high sensitivity and early layout, but also after more than ten years of scientific and technological innovation efforts, the current level of technological development is also the industry leader in the two fields of pure electricity and hydrogen fuel.

In terms of pure electric routes, BAIC has now formed a key technical system for the forward development of pure electric vehicles with sandian technology as the core. From Caiyu to Blue Valley, BAIC now has the world's top R&D and verification capabilities in the field of pure electric technology, with a total output of 3909 patents, including 972 invention patents.

Baiqi's Jihu brand high-end products are equipped with high-performance batteries

Jihu Automobile is a high-end product of BAIC, representing baic's most advanced three-electric technology strength, and is also the forerunner of BAIC's forefront in the field of pure electric technology. From the industry-leading 160Wh/Kg battery energy density and never-out-of-control battery performance, to the longest true battery life of pure electricity in the industry of 708km, to key technologies such as 10 minutes and 200km fast charging, baic motor's great progress and leading edge in the field of three electric technologies have been highlighted. In the process of positive research and development, BAIC has also created the BE21 fully redundant architecture electric hardware platform based on its many advantages and technologies, and has been recognized by overseas auto companies and exported intellectual property rights overseas.

In terms of hydrogen fuel route, BAIC has made remarkable technical achievements in the field of hydrogen fuel cell research and development, and has become a leading representative of domestic hydrogen energy vehicle manufacturing. In 2006, BAIC began the research and development of hydrogen fuel cells, and has been in the development of hydrogen production, hydrogenation, hydrogen use, and fuel cell vehicle development on a large scale. Combing the product matrix and commercial application formed by the development of HYDROGEN ENERGY in BAIC, it can be seen that BAIC is forward-looking in the layout of hydrogen energy technology.

BAIC Group was awarded a carbon neutrality certificate and a Hydrogen FuelEdu bus

From the launch of the first domestic hydrogen fuel cell bus in 2008 and the service of the Beijing Olympic Games, to the second generation of 12 meters hydrogen fuel cell buses in 2014 to solve the bottleneck problems that hinder the development of hydrogen fuel cell buses such as high production costs and short fuel cell life, and then to the third generation of 8.5 meters hydrogen fuel cell buses in 2016 to win global large-scale orders, today's Beiqi hydrogen fuel cell buses have developed to the fourth generation, and the vehicle adopts advanced and reliable electrical safety technology, hydrogen safety technology, Hydrogen-electric coupling safety system and in line with international requirements of the vehicle layout design, the vehicle hydrogen refueling 10-15 minutes, cruising range of more than 450 kilometers, can achieve minus 30 degrees low temperature start, minus 46 degrees low temperature storage and automatic protection of shutdown, the advanced and reliable hydrogen fuel cell technology is obvious.

The whole life cycle helps "double carbon", and BAIC is not only green with technology

As a state-owned enterprise in Beijing, BAIC has taken the initiative to assume more than that. Up to now, BAIC has invested billions of yuan in special energy conservation and emission reduction work, and established and improved a green management system for the whole life cycle of products.

In terms of carbon emission management, since 2013, under the unified organization of the Group, 9 enterprises in Beijing have carried out carbon verification and carbon trading implementation work every year, and have taken this as an opportunity to tap the potential of carbon reduction and promote carbon reduction projects through market-oriented means. In the manufacturing process, BAIC has successfully completed the construction of 13 state-level green factories around the green manufacturing system, ranking first in the Number of Chinese automotive industries.

As one of the most advanced manufacturing plants in the world, Foton Cummins has reached the international advanced level of environmental protection standards. While achieving high energy efficiency and quality, it can meet the highest global emission standards for road and non-road EPA2017, including China VI, Europe VI and North America, and is used all over the world, covering a variety of on- and off-highway applications. Baiqi Off-road Vehicle Company obtained the first sewage discharge permit in the national automobile manufacturing industry in 2019, and achieved a good demonstration and leading effect in the industry.
