The first hydrogen energy subway construction vehicle in China is off the line in Xiangyang, Hubei Province.

Thank CTOnews.com netizens for the past, Mr. Aviation's clue delivery! According to Rong Creative Energy official account, China's first hydrogen-powered subway construction vehicle has been officially launched in Xiangyang, Hubei province. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the car can reduce carbon emissions by a total of 225t in its whole life cycle, CTOnews.com reported on July 18.

It is reported that the vehicle adopts a hybrid system of hydrogen fuel cell and lithium battery, with a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour, the maximum capacity of hydrogen storage and supply system 50kg, and the injection of hydrogen for 30 minutes, which can realize continuous operation of a single machine for 32 hours and meet the requirements of subway line construction.

▲ Tuyuanrong innovative official account CTOnews.com learned after inquiry that the construction vehicle is in the charge of China Railway Wuhan electrification Bureau and its powertrain is provided by Sichuan Rongchuang Xinneng Co., Ltd., the company's powertrain has been used in CRRC's "world's first 160km automatic city car".

▲ Tuyuanrong innovative energy official account officials did not disclose more technical details of the vehicle, but said that "thanks to the hydrogen fuel and lithium battery hybrid system, the vehicle runs without exhaust emissions and noise, so it is quite suitable for subway, tunnel, mining and other relatively airtight environment."

Considering that the current commercial application of hydrogen energy vehicles is still in the experimental stage, most of the mass produced "hydrogen energy" rail transit vehicles are only "technical tests", and there is still a long way to go before large-scale landing operations.
