XUZHOU, China, June 28, 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.
