On March 20th, the new prototype of the carbon fiber body full-power hydrogen power, independent Chinese independent brand hydrogen passenger car Grove, was successfully developed and released to the world in Wuhan. This is the hydrogen energy industry in transportation A major breakthrough in the field's first application.
This Grove product prototype is the first large luxury SUV built by Grove Hydropower Company for the Chinese market. The full-body carbon fiber is being designed forward, and it is equipped with Grove's global leading hydrogen fuel stacks. , The newly designed hydrogen power system integration solution, the vehicle is lighter in weight and lower in energy consumption, and has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
The Grove brand will debut a number of models at the Shanghai Auto Show in April this year, and will accept customer reservations for the first car. In the next few years, Grove will launch more new models based on cutting-edge technology platforms and put them into mass production in 2020.
Carbon fiber combines light weight, safety, and high strength. It is commonly used in high-end supercars, racing cars and aerospace facilities. Compared to traditional vehicles using steel and aluminum alloys, Grove cars are lighter and their body structures are lighter and lighter. Tough.
The Grove Hydrogen Vehicle was born in Wuhan, named after the inventor of the fuel cell and the British scientist William Grove. It has an international team and cutting-edge technology. It is the Wuhan Institute of Geological Resources and Environmental Technology (hereinafter referred to as " Institute of Industrial and Environmental Engineering ”), consciously undertake the national strategic mission of promoting technological breakthroughs and innovative development of China ’s hydrogen energy industry, tightly seize the“ one-hundred-year chance ”hydrogen energy industry development opportunity, and face a global strategy for integrating hydrogen energy A new generation of passenger car projects with strong innovation resources.
Hao Yiguo, Dean of the Institute of Industrial and Environmental Engineering, said that unlike the scheme of transforming existing models into hydrogen power, Grove will use a series of cutting-edge technologies and are committed to providing clean power technologies while improving energy efficiency and reducing energy. Consume.
The reporter was also informed that the Institute of Industrial and Environmental Engineering has already started the construction of hydrogen energy infrastructure. It will be promoted in first-tier cities in China in 2020, expanded to second-tier cities in 2021, and launched in large numbers in major cities in China in 2022.
Hydrogen has the characteristics of rich reserves, clean efficiency, safety and environmental protection, and high heating value. It is a high-quality secondary energy source and is known as the ultimate energy source for human beings. Hydrogen fuel cells have a long cruising range, fast hydrogenation, and only water emissions during driving, which is an important development direction for new energy vehicles. At present, the global hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry has just started. With the continuous breakthrough of hydrogen fuel cell technology, the transportation field is an important breakthrough for industrial development, and the development opportunities are huge.
In recent years, the United States, Japan, the European Union and other major countries and regions have incorporated fuel cell vehicles into the national or regional strategic development system for planning. Beginning in 2017, mainstream car companies around the world plan to launch mass-produced fuel cell vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles have gradually entered the industrialization stage. The National Energy Reform and Action Plan for Energy Technology (2016-2030) issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Energy Bureau promotes the development and utilization of hydrogen energy technology as a national energy strategy. The "Government Work Report" in 2019 proposed to promote the construction of facilities such as charging and hydrogenation. Wuhan City has also included the hydrogen energy industry in the city's "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" development plan to build a full-scale new energy vehicle industry chain mainly based on hydrogen vehicles.
