NEVs will help power Olympics

Zhangjiakou City, north China鈥檚 Hebei Province, will deploy 655 hydrogen-powered vehicles in the city鈥檚 competition zone for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, said the city government.

These vehicles will be used in transportation and logistics during the Olympics.

A hydrogen-powered bus can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 11.8 tons over 10,000 kilometers. Such buses run smoothly at minus 20 degrees Celsius, and their safety and reliability have been verified, according to the city鈥檚 institute of hydrogen and renewable energy.

There are 444 hydrogen fuel cell buses in Zhangjiakou. They have run more than 21 million kilometers and carried more than 62 million passengers.

As the co-host city of the Olympics, Zhangjiakou has two hydrogen production plants and eight hydrogen refueling stations, which can guarantee the operation of the hydrogen-powered vehicles.
