XUZHOU, China, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- XCMG Machinery (SHE:000425,
"XCMG") is proud to unveil a new hydrogen fuel cell dump truck
model, the EHSL552F, equipped with a 120kW hydrogen fuel cell and
high-power battery system. This launch marks a significant step in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 99.3 kilograms on a daily
basis for large-scale transportation projects such as mining
operations.
To meet the demand for
long-distance operational capabilities, XCMG's latest
hydrogen-powered vehicle integrates advanced technology with robust
performance features. The EHSL552F model includes a fast 6-speed
gearbox and boasts substantial chassis clearance, enabling it to
easily navigate steep slopes.
The vehicle's design incorporates computer-aided topology
optimization, along with new materials and processes that reduce the vehicle weight by 200kg without
compromising structural strength or reliability. Additionally, the
EHSL552F is designed for reduced maintenance costs within its
lifespan of over 1.5 million kilometers.
By integrating optimized algorithms for smoothness and stability
into the design process, XCMG has enhanced both the driving comfort
and handling stability of the vehicle. This makes it easier for
logistics companies to adopt more sustainable models.
The upgraded cabin features both interior enhancements for
driver comfort and an exterior design that commands presence on the
road. The electrical architecture of the vehicle has been revamped
to improve intelligent driving aids and overall reliability, while
ensuring safety through compliance with the EU ECE R29 crash
regulation.
Since 2021, XCMG has been
researching and manufacturing hydrogen energy equipment,
culminating in the creation of the Shanghai Hydrogen Energy
Technology Research Institute in April
2022. The Company has unveiled 16 different hydrogen energy
equipment models, covering various sectors, including tractors,
dump trucks and sanitation truck chassis. June 2023 saw the global debut of the
hydrogen-powered electric loader developed in collaboration with a
local miner in China, marking its
official operation.
Recently in collaboration with REFIRE, their newly developed 49T
fuel cell smart heavy trucks, powered by REFIRE's proprietary
Mirror Star series fuel cells, commenced operations in Northwest China, serving green transportation
needs within local green electricity production from coal
projects.
This April, a landmark agreement was reached between CHN Energy,
XCMG and THIKO New Energy to co-develop the first-ever 240-ton
hydrogen-powered mining dump truck in the world. Besides
heavy-duty trucks, XCMG also introduced other models, like
hydrogen-fueled tractor units and urban construction vehicles,
further diversifying their renewable energy portfolio.
