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.
