China: Sales of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles reached 455 in June

According to financial reports, data show that China's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market grew rapidly in the first half of this year, and the production and sales data in June hit a new high for the year. The monthly output was 527 units and the sales volume was 455 units. Under the high base in June 2021, the year-on-year growth was still 18.7% and 67.3%, and the month-on-month increase was 117% and 342%.

In addition, from January to June this year, the production of fuel cell vehicles has exceeded 1,500, and the sales volume is also close to 1,400. In 2021, the production and sales of fuel cell vehicles in China will be 1,777 and 1,586 respectively, which means that the production and sales of fuel cell vehicles in China in the first half of this year have both exceeded 80% of last year's full-year, and sales are close to 90% of last year's full year.

The analysis believes that the rapid growth of domestic fuel cell vehicle production and sales in the first half of the year is due to the fact that my country's hydrogen fuel cell technology has become increasingly mature and the industrial chain has been continuously improved, which has promoted the implementation of multi-scenario applications; on the other hand, it is also the most important. With the implementation of the automobile application demonstration city group and the promotion of related work, various localities have begun to increase their efforts to develop the hydrogen energy and fuel cell industries.

Last month, four departments including the Ministry of Transport issued the implementation opinions of the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutralization". The opinions pointed out that actively developing new energy and clean energy vehicles. Relying on the pilot projects of building a strong transportation country, we will conduct pilot projects for pure electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells, renewable synthetic fuel vehicles, and ships in an orderly manner. Promote the application of new energy vehicles. Explore the application of new powered ships such as methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia, and promote the application of liquefied natural gas-powered ships. Actively promote the application of sustainable aviation fuel.

In addition, yesterday, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport issued the "National Highway Network Planning". The "Planning" proposed to improve the service quality of highway service areas, set up user-friendly service facilities and facilities such as charging and replacing batteries, and hydrogen refueling, so as to enrich culture, tourism, and leisure according to local conditions. and other service functions.
