Focus on the demonstration application of fuel cell vehicles
editor’s note:
since last year, China has continuously increased its support for the hydrogen energy industry, and gradually defined the basic path to drive the layout and development of the whole hydrogen energy industry chain driven by the demonstration application of fuel cell vehicles. At present, China has initially formed five major fuel cell vehicle demonstration and application urban agglomerations, namely Beijing Tianjin Hebei Urban Agglomeration led by Beijing, Shanghai urban agglomeration led by Shanghai, Guangdong urban agglomeration led by Foshan, Henan urban agglomeration led by Zhengzhou and Hebei Urban Agglomeration led by Zhangjiakou
5 urban agglomerations cover a total of 47 cities, which are “vertical and horizontal” across regions, playing the role of “vanguard” of national fuel cell vehicle demonstration and application. Some are “gifted”, some are leading in R & D, some rely on the demonstration and guidance of leading enterprises, and some have a relatively complete industrial chain. After passing the demonstration approval, the five major urban agglomerations are competing to increase the layout and promotion of the fuel cell vehicle industry, the policies are significantly overweight, and the industrial development is becoming more and more active

“The approval of Henan urban agglomeration is a rare opportunity for the new energy vehicle industry in our province to lead the way.” The relevant person in charge of Henan Provincial Department of industry and information technology said.
Henan urban agglomeration is composed of “1 + N + 5”. “1” refers to Taking Zhengzhou as the leading city, which is responsible for coordinating the coordinated development of urban agglomeration industrial chain and undertaking the main demonstration and application tasks. “5” is five cities in the province, among which Xinxiang city carries out research and development and industrialization of electric reactor and system, Luoyang and Kaifeng independently develop key parts such as high-pressure hydrogen system, Anyang and Jiaozuo ensure hydrogen energy supply, and jointly promote the multi scenario demonstration application of fuel cell vehicles. “N” is 11 advantageous cities in the industrial chain in other provinces and cities, covering eight core components such as electric stacks and air compressors, focusing on core technological innovation and industrialization. Some experts said that the biggest advantage of Henan urban agglomeration is the strong policy stimulus and the demonstration and guidance of large leading automobile enterprises.
policies continue to make efforts to seize opportunities
In order to support the development of fuel cell vehicles in Henan urban agglomeration, Henan Province has successively issued a series of major policies.
As early as April 2020, eight departments including the Department of finance of Henan Province jointly formulated the action plan for the development of hydrogen fuel cell industry in Henan Province, proposed an urban agglomeration centered on Zhengzhou and declared a national demonstration city for the promotion and application of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Strive to promote and apply more than 3000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and build more than 50 hydrogen refueling stations by 2023. By 2025, there will be more than 5000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and more than 80 hydrogen refueling stations, basically forming an industrial pattern dominated by passenger cars and the all-round development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles such as sanitation and logistics. The annual output value of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle related industries will exceed 100 billion yuan.
In November 2020, the Joint Conference Office of energy conservation and new energy vehicle industry development in Henan Province issued several policies to promote the high-quality development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry in Henan demonstration city cluster, which proposed to support the manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cells and key parts, and reward the R & D and purchase and use units in the province according to 5% of the sales price.
In December 2021, the Ministry of Finance and other five departments issued the notice on starting a new batch of fuel cell vehicle demonstration and application work. The urban agglomeration of Henan Province successfully ranked among the five national demonstration urban agglomerations, and the demonstration period is four years.
Since then, the policy has continued to increase and gradually refined.
In order to orderly promote the work of the demonstration urban agglomeration, Henan Province has formulated the implementation plan for the demonstration and application of fuel cell vehicles in Zhengzhou urban agglomeration and the development plan of Zhengzhou hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry (20202025), which defines the objectives, tasks, development priorities, policies and measures of the development, popularization and application of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry and infrastructure construction. At the same time, Henan Province has also issued the notice on the establishment of the leading group of Zhengzhou fuel cell vehicle demonstration city cluster and the notice on the establishment of the promotion and coordination group of Henan fuel cell vehicle demonstration city cluster, so as to coordinate the relevant work of fuel cell vehicle project research and development, demonstration application, infrastructure construction and so on.
leading enterprises lead to create advantages
Henan Province is one of the provinces that paid attention to and laid out hydrogen fuel cells ahead of time in China, and has achieved a number of breakthroughs.
In terms of industrial development, Zhengzhou has more than 20 new energy vehicle manufacturers and related enterprises, including Yutong Bus Co.Ltd(600066) , Haima Automobile Co.Ltd(000572) , Zhengzhou Nissan, Dongfeng Nissan Zhengzhou factory, SAIC passenger car Zhengzhou branch, Shaolin bus and other complete vehicle enterprises, Yutong Heavy Industries Co.Ltd(600817) , HTC, BIC NEW energy vehicle and other special vehicle enterprises, BIC battery, Shenlan power, Zhiqu technology and other core parts enterprises, It has a good foundation for industrial development. In addition, Xinxiang City is building a hydrogen energy industrial park, which gathers enterprises of key equipment and components of hydrogen energy and fuel cell, such as hydrogen power and hydrogen equipment.
The demonstration and guidance of many leading enterprises provide strong support for the development of related work of Henan urban agglomeration. It is understood that Yutong Bus Co.Ltd(600066) has obtained China’s first production qualification certification and China’s first fuel cell bus announcement. Since 2009, Yutong Bus Co.Ltd(600066) began to promote the research and development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and established Zhengzhou fuel cell and hydrogen energy engineering technology research center in 2017 Focus on the research and development of vehicle fuel system and hybrid fuel cell system.
In addition, Haima Automobile Co.Ltd(000572) has mastered the core technologies such as general layout, vehicle control, fuel cell system control, thermal management and safety design of hydrogen passenger vehicles.
