What are the domestically produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicles available?
2 Answers
Domestically produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicles mainly include the following models: Honda Clarity: This vehicle boasts an impressive range of up to 750KM, with hydrogen refueling completed in just three to five minutes. Toyota Mirai: This model offers a decent range of 650KM, also capable of refueling hydrogen in three to five minutes. SAIC Maxus FCV80: As China's first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, it has a maximum range of 500KM and takes only 3 minutes to refuel hydrogen. Hyundai NEXO: This vehicle achieves a maximum range of up to 805KM, thanks to the inclusion of three small hydrogen tanks.
I know that currently there are several domestic brands promoting hydrogen energy vehicles in China. For example, SAIC Maxus's MAXUS EUNIQ 7 hydrogen fuel cell SUV is quite popular, with a range of around 500 kilometers and an ultra-fast refueling time of about three to five minutes, making it very suitable for daily commuting. Great Wall Motors' Salon Mech Dragon is also exploring hydrogen energy, still in the concept stage but expected to enter mass production soon. GAC Group is developing hydrogen fuel passenger cars, with new models likely to be launched next year—I've read reports and am quite looking forward to them. Dongfeng Motor and Geely also have projects under testing, mainly focusing on commercial vehicles for now, as the passenger car market is still in its early stages. The entire industry is still laying the foundation, with hydrogen refueling stations being extremely scarce, available only in major cities, and quite expensive, starting at around 400,000 to 500,000 RMB. However, the advantage of zero emissions is truly appealing, and I believe hydrogen energy will be a complementary option to electric vehicles in the future.
