Hydrogen trucks are on their way
China’s energy giant has partnered with a leading engine producer to jointly develop hydrogen trucks.
An agreement was inked between two subsidiary companies and a research institute of China Energy Investment Corporation (CHN Energy), the world’s largest energy company by installed capacity, and manufacturer Weichai Power Company to produce heavy-duty mining trucks running on hydrogen.
They will have a carrying capacity of more than 200 tons.
The move marks a step forward in promoting clean fuel in the transport sector, which has already witnessed the operation of hydrogen-powered buses in Shanghai as well as Chengdu, capital of southwestern Sichuan Province.
CHN Energy’s general manager Ling Wen said China’s hydrogen fuel development has started to pick up pace, adding that more technological innovations will promote the use of hydrogen.
A report predicts hydrogen will soon make up at least 10 percent of China’s energy mix.
