Recently, under the witness of the president of China and the president of France, Sinopec Group and Air Liquide Group signed a memorandum of cooperation in the Great Hall of the people in Beijing to discuss and strengthen cooperation in the field of hydrogen energy, opening a new chapter in the cooperation between China and France on clean energy. At the press conference of the State Council Information Office in April this year, the Ministry of industry and information technology also indicated that it would vigorously promote the innovation and development of China's hydrogen energy and automobile industry. Fuel cell vehicles and lithium-based vehicles would jointly promote the development and growth of China's new energy automobile industry. As a pioneer in China's new energy vehicle industry, while focusing on the research and development of the core technologies of battery, motor and electronic control, "three electrics", automobile began to lay out the market of battery passenger vehicles as early as the beginning of 2016. It will take hydrogen as the fuel of new energy vehicles as the future development direction, and plans to invest 500 million yuan in the research and development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and has stored a series of forward-looking advanced technologies in advance. Recently, the Air France head office in Paris, France, is represented by both parties, Jin zheyong, chairman of Zhongtai automobile, and Mr. Benoit Hilbert, President of Air France technology innovation center. In Zhongtai automobile, Dr. madren, vice president and general manager of new energy automobile, and Mr. Philippe, general manager of air France Technology Innovation Center Mr. fraysse accompanied and witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a metal bipolar plate fuel cell stack and apply it to Zhongtai model. After three years of continuous increase in investment in research and development of hydrogen fuel cell technology, in August 2019, the design of metal plate stack for hydrogen fuel cell jointly developed by ZTE and Air France has been completed. According to the current verification test results, the performance of the whole stack is expected to reach or exceed 3.5kw/l, reaching the international advanced and domestic first-class level. Highly competitive in performance. Through cooperation in the development of fuel cells, master the key technologies of independent research and development of fuel cells, and reach the international advanced level. In addition, Zhongtai Motor Co., Ltd. also launched the first e200fcv with hydrogen fuel cell for mass production at this year's Shanghai auto show, and plans to launch next year. As we all know, as the world's most important energy product, oil is not only a daily need, but also an important strategic reserve. According to the data of the General Administration of Customs in January 2019, China's total volume in 2018 reached a record 462 million tons, becoming the world's largest crude oil importer for the second consecutive year, with a high degree of foreign dependence of 70.9%. At the same time, according to the contents of the 2019 white paper on China's hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry, hydrogen energy will become an important part of China's future energy system. It is estimated that by 2050, the proportion of hydrogen energy in China's energy system will be about 10%, the demand for hydrogen will be close to 60 million tons, and the annual economic output value will exceed 10 trillion yuan. Therefore, the development of hydrogen fuel cell industry is of great significance to reduce China's dependence on foreign oil and ensure energy security. As an important strategic resource of new energy, countries all over the world have been committed to the deployment of hydrogen fuel vehicles. As early as 1994, the world's first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, necari, was launched. In December 2014, Mirai, the world's first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, was launched and officially launched. At the same time, Zhongtai pays attention to the synchronous development of fuel cell system and vehicle during the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle project. At present, the transformation of E200 fuel cell model has been completed, and it will have the conditions for mass production next year. The system integration of new platform model has completed the bench test, and it will have the technical conditions for mass production in 2021. According to the mass production plan of Jietai fuel cell vehicle, the sales revenue can reach 2.2 billion yuan based on the sales volume of 10000 units. The progress in the era of metal bipolar fuel cell stacks has proved the truth of natural selection, and automobile is no exception in energy selection. Under the background of winning the blue sky defense war in China, we believe that with the continuous breakthrough of science and technology, the increase of hydrogen production and the decrease of hydrogen fuel cost, hydrogen energy will eventually become the mainstream fuel of automobiles in the future. Under the joint efforts of Zhongtai and Air France, there will be a broader development space in the near future. We will set sail together and change the world with hydrogen! Make the world's most beautiful hydrogen car!
