In order to help achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, new energy hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with zero emissions and no pollution on the energy supply side and "add and go" on the energy consumption side have gradually become the driving force of green transformation in the transportation sector.
In the 2024 government work report, new energy vehicles are not only mentioned many times, but also hydrogen energy is clearly defined as an emerging industry as the key development direction of the industry in the future. In recent years, many places have successively launched new energy vehicle-related support policies and landing subsidies, especially in Anhui Province, which has set automobiles as the first industry, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have moved faster and more actively.
The first industry strives for innovation, and Ankai Bus is a pioneer
In January this year, the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the "Three-Year Action Plan for the High-quality Development of Hydrogen Energy Industry in Anhui Province", which specifically pointed out that by 2025, it is necessary to initially achieve the commercialization and application of hydrogen energy, build an important domestic hydrogen energy industry development highland, and achieve the total output value of the hydrogen energy industry to reach more than 50 billion yuan, and the promotion of fuel cell vehicles to reach more than 2,000 vehicles.
According to incomplete statistics, at present, Anhui Province has more than 150 hydrogen-related enterprises, with an output value of about 30 billion yuan in hydrogen energy business, covering the entire industrial chain of hydrogen energy preparation, storage and transportation, filling, application, and fuel cell, and has achieved a series of achievements such as cultivating and creating 13 innovation platforms at the provincial level and above.
As one of the leading enterprises in the automobile industry in Anhui Province, Ankai Bus took the lead in capturing the huge potential of hydrogen energy and became a pioneer in the R&D and manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cell buses in China. With its profound technical accumulation and innovative spirit, Ankai Bus has maintained a leading momentum in the new track of hydrogen energy for the first industry, and has made important contributions to the development of China's hydrogen fuel cell bus industry.
As early as more than 10 years ago, Ankai Bus began the related technical research and product layout of hydrogen fuel cell buses. From the tracking and reserve of hydrogen fuel technology, to the industry's only national electric bus system integration engineering technology research center, national postdoctoral research workstation and other "hard-core think tanks", Ankai Bus has created a series of hydrogen fuel cell buses.
In 2017, the Anhui Provincial Science and Technology Major Special Project "R&D and Demonstration Application of Hydrogen Fuel Cell City Bus" was undertaken by Ankai Bus, and at that time, it developed a hydrogen fuel cell bus suitable for multiple environments, multiple working conditions and long life. At the 2019 International (Hefei) Energy Saving and New Energy Vehicle Exhibition, Ankai Bus brought a 10.5-meter hydrogen fuel bus to the booth of the 5G Intelligent Connected Vehicle Demonstration Zone. At the 2023 Hefei International New Energy Automobile Exhibition, Ankai Bus brought its high-quality model E9 hydrogen fuel cell bus to the audience.
From the laboratory to the city market, Ankai Bus, which has been deeply engaged in the field of hydrogen fuel cell buses, has opened up the channel from scientific research achievements to practical implementation, and has a number of successful operation cases, showing super "hydrogen" energy utilization.
Leading the "zero" carbon travel, Ankai Bus drives the future
In December 2019, the first batch of Ankai 8.5m hydrogen fuel cell buses were put into operation on the 301 bus line in Lu'an City, becoming the first hydrogen energy bus demonstration line in Anhui Province. In view of its excellent operational performance, in August 2020, Lu'an City once again launched a batch of Ankai 10.5-meter hydrogen fuel cell buses to operate on the bus route.
In January 2024, Hefei also took the step of "hydrogen surplus", introduced 23 Ankai E9 hydrogen fuel cell buses, and opened the first hydrogen energy bus demonstration line, so that the use of hydrogen energy can enter the daily travel of more and more citizens, complement the types of local new energy vehicles, and help Hefei accelerate its development into a "new energy vehicle capital" with world influence.
E9 hydrogen fuel cell bus is a new generation of hydrogen fuel city bus based on the concept of platform, lightweight, integrated, intelligent and low hydrogen consumption, which has the advantages of low energy consumption, strong power, long endurance, short filling time, strong environmental adaptability, large passenger capacity, intelligent networking, etc., which is a strong footnote for Ankai Bus to lead the hydrogen energy track.
The vehicle is equipped with a multi-mode energy management strategy for hydrogen fuel cell buses independently developed by Ankai Bus, which can travel more than 300 kilometers in 10 minutes of hydrogen refueling without anxiety. At the same time, it is equipped with a number of intelligent assisted driving technologies, which perform well in environmental perception, early warning, driving behavior perception and error-proof control, fully meet the needs of various application scenarios, and is the best carrier to create an innovative, green, harmonious and coordinated development of transportation concepts.
The interior space of the car is a full-channel structure, which meets the needs of low-floor and low-entrance transportation for the elderly, bringing an open interior space to passengers and improving the convenience of activities. The vehicle is equipped with safety precautions such as hydrogen leakage monitoring, hydrogen accumulation prevention, emptying and dilution, etc., to ensure the safety of the vehicle during operation.
At present, Ankai Bus has made fruitful innovations in vehicle system integration, electric drive system, vehicle control, intelligent networking and other technologies, and has completed the series development of 8-12 meters hydrogen fuel cell products, with a single vehicle operating mileage of more than 250,000 kilometers, which has excellent performance in power, economy and comfort, and is an excellent carrier of green "zero" carbon travel.
Unswervingly practicing the concept of green transportation development, focusing on the innovative R&D and marketing of new energy buses, Ankai Bus has announced its achievements with hydrogen fuel cell buses, driven future travel with smart technology, contributed to the construction of a new energy vehicle industry highland with global influence in Anhui Province, and brought more excellent and greener travel solutions to more users.
