CHANGSHA, China, March 26, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Every year on this day, millions of people across the world switch off lights

at home, in buildings and in the streets for Earth Hour. Since 2008, the "hour

of no power" serves as a symbol of commitment to the planet and to conserve

energy and the environment. At SANY, this commitment is fulfilled through the

constant innovation of energy-saving and environmental-friendly solutions in

the development of our machines. Two recent examples include a dump truck and a

mixer truck, freshly rolled out of SANY's intelligent flagship factory, both of

which are equipped with hydrogen fuel cell technology. The latter is the first

hydrogen-powered mixer truck in the world.

According to the R&D engineer of this project, hydrogen fuel cell construction

vehicles have five important advantages. Among them, the realization of "zero

pollution" with only water and heat being discharged is a leap toward the green

future of the industry.

China is focused on carbon neutrality by 2060. This goal requires concrete

steps to be taken, especially by manufacturers.  

Apart from "zero pollution", the new fuel cell-powered construction vehicles

also outperform traditional counterparts in these additional four areas:

1. Long battery life: A set of hydrogen cylinders with a combined capacity of

1,680 L ensures a driving distance of more than 500 kilometers, saving drivers

from "mileage anxiety".

2. More power: With a large torque drive motor and an AMT gearbox, the

high-power fuel cell stack features an energy conversion rate of over 50%. The

vehicle demonstrates enhanced acceleration rate and climbing capacity.

3. Enhanced weather adaptability: The integrated heat management system

performs automatic heating and cooling in hot and cold weather conditions to

maintain optimal performance. 4. Extra safety considerations: Functions such as

high heat protection, overcurrent protection, a low pressure alarm, and leakage

detection and control in the hydrogen supply system guarantee a worry-free

driving experience.

Li Tanbo, Deputy General Manager of SANY's Crane Business Unit, addressed in

the rollout ceremony that SANY has entered a new phase in which the development

of construction machinery is trending towards the application of green energy

and green, intelligent equipment technologies. SANY plans to become the largest

comprehensive hydrogen fuel solution provider and the number one electric

construction vehicle manufacturer in China within five years.
