The first batch of 406 H2 fuel cell sanitation vehicles equipped with GWM HYDROGEN-FTXT's H2 power system were officially delivered to customers, marking the successful implementation of GWM HYDROGEN-FTXT's first "hundred-unit level" H2 sanitation vehicle demonstration application scenario in Baoding, China.
This batch of H2 sanitation vehicles includes three main models: H2 sweeping and washing vehicles, H2 cleaning vehicles and H2 high-pressure flushing vehicles. They were jointly developed by GWM HYDROGEN-FTXT in collaboration with three well-known Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturers - Changzheng, Yutong, and Dongfeng. All vehicles are equipped with GWM HYDROGEN-FTXT's self-developed commercial vehicle fuel cell system and H2 storage system. Compared to electric sanitation vehicles, they have significant advantages such as faster fuel replenishment and better adaptability to high and low-temperature environments. It only takes 5 min─8 min to complete H2 refueling, and a single refueling allows for continuous operation of over 10 hr.
This delivery is another large-scale, mass-application demonstration scenario of H2 fuel cell vehicles implemented by GWM HYDROGEN-FTXT in China, following the world's first hundred-unit level 49-ton H2 heavy-duty truck demonstration application scenario. These vehicles will act as "mobile air purifiers" to support the low-carbon circular development model of "waste-free city + green H2" and create a benchmark for the application of H2 sanitation vehicles in China.
At present, the number of H2 energy vehicles equipped by GWM HYDROGEN-FTXT that have been launched in the Chinese market has reached the thousand-unit level.
