Hydrogen fuel cells will coexist in the future with lithium batteries
On October 20, a high-level delegation from the Chinese government visited Yihuatong Technology Co., Ltd. The group included Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang, along with several senior officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology. Their visit aimed to inspect the company’s advancements in hydrogen fuel cell technology and its potential for future development.
Yihuatong specializes in hydrogen fuel cell engines and their control systems. Its third-generation hydrogen fuel cell engine is capable of starting at temperatures as low as -30°C, operating efficiently even in extreme heat, and featuring automatic shutdown protection. This technology is already being used in Beiqi Futian Auhui series hydrogen fuel cell buses, showcasing its practical application in public transportation.
While electric vehicles have gained global traction, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have not been significantly affected. In fact, industry experts remain optimistic about their future, with major automakers like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and General Motors actively pursuing fuel cell strategies alongside their electric vehicle initiatives.
Compared to lithium batteries, fuel cells offer advantages such as higher safety, longer driving range, faster refueling, zero emissions, and no secondary pollution from spent batteries. These benefits make them an attractive option for the future of sustainable transportation.
In recent years, the hydrogen fuel cell market has seen growing interest, with increasing policy support and investment. Industry insiders predict that China’s hydrogen energy sector will experience rapid growth over the next three to five years, potentially reaching an "explosion period" around 2020.
This year, six fuel cell vehicles were included in the list of new energy models exempt from purchase tax. Additionally, the National Fuel Cell and Flow Battery Standardization Technical Committee held a meeting to advance standardization efforts, helping remove barriers for market expansion.
At an investment promotion conference in Foshan’s Nanhai District, Wulong Electric Vehicles announced a RMB 10 billion investment in the Yangtze River Hydrogen Power (Foshan) R&D and production project. Meanwhile, Foton Motor launched its first commercial hydrogen fuel bus, and the country’s first fully operational hydrogen refueling station was officially opened.
Despite these developments, China still lags behind international leaders in hydrogen fuel cell technology. However, many domestic companies, including Yutong, Beiqi Foton, and Nanjing Jinlong, are accelerating their entry into the hydrogen market.
Experts note that China’s focus on commercial vehicles, such as hydrogen fuel cell buses, rather than private cars, is due to the lower demand for hydrogen fuel in passenger cars in terms of volume, energy density, and reliability. Infrastructure limitations also play a role—passenger cars travel on varied routes, making it harder to build a widespread network of hydrogen refueling stations.
Although China’s hydrogen fuel passenger vehicles are still in early stages, related technologies are advancing quickly. Toyota’s decision to open up 5,680 hydrogen fuel patents has provided a strong foundation for China’s hydrogen vehicle industry.
The cost of Beiqi Futian Auhui’s latest hydrogen fuel cell bus has dropped significantly, from over 8 million yuan to more than 1 million yuan. With national subsidies, the final price for customers is around tens of millions, and refueling takes just 5-10 minutes, allowing for a range of 400-500 kilometers per fill-up.
Minister Wan Gang emphasized at the 19th China Association of Science and Technology annual meeting that hydrogen energy and electricity will coexist and complement each other in the future, supporting the growth of the new energy automotive industry. He called for stronger collaboration and faster promotion of hydrogen technology to fully develop the fuel cell industry.
