AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/25 Report--

Recently, the "water-hydrogen engine" has been offline in Nanyang, Henan Province. The official website of Nanyang Daily released the news, "Water and hydrogen engine is offline in Nanyang, and the secretary of the municipal party committee likes it!" This means that the water in the car can be used to produce hydrogen in real time, and the vehicle only needs to add water to drive. " As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion and complaints among netizens.

And while everyone is talking about the Youth Automobile Group's development of the so-called water and hydrogen engine, today, Pang Qing, the head of the Youth Automobile Group, took the initiative to respond that it is understandable for outsiders to put forward opinions, and any new technology will be questioned. Will stick to it. It also said that as private enterprises, they did not use government money, and stressed that the technology was a "hydrolytic hydrogen production technology", which was misinterpreted as "irrigation can run".

"We didn't use a penny of the government's money, it's all our money," Pang said in the video. Pang explained in the video that the main gap between yesterday's online buzz is that there is a big difference between the word "hydrogen production from water" and their official "hydrogen production by hydrolysis". Next, Pang Youth made an on-the-spot explanation of the operation principle of the truck next to him in the video, but Pang Qing himself did not make more technical explanations and technical application principles. It only describes the high requirements and technical difficulties in the application and design of the technology.

On the other side, it was revealed that the 72 hydrogen fuel cell buses purchased in Nanyang City in March rarely use hydrogen in their daily use, but are rechargeable. It is reported that the unit price of 72 buses is 1.2 million yuan, with a total purchase price of 80 million yuan. However, there is no fixed hydrogen filling station in Nanyang City.

In the morning, a number of hydrogen-powered buses are being recharged in the parking lot of Wolong District bus Hub Station in Nanyang City. According to the bus driver, hydrogen energy buses can be recharged as well as hydrogen. The hydrogen charging port is at the rear of one side of the cab, and the charging port is on the other side of the rear of the vehicle.

A number of bus drivers told reporters that the No. 39 hydrogen energy bus runs between the Wolong District bus hub and the Nanyang World Rose Park, with a length of 23 kilometers. "when I ran to the Rose Garden with a full charge, I still had 70% left, and it was full again for another 15 minutes. One trip at a time. "

According to several bus drivers interviewed, hydrogen energy buses on routes 38, 39, 40 and 41 are not charged with hydrogen in the vast majority of cases. "hydrogen is only charged when you can't get in line and are in a hurry to leave."

Hydrogen is not expensive, and the cost of using hydrogen is high. According to a person in charge of Nanyang bus Company, the hydrogen used by hydrogen energy bus is pulled from Anyang, Henan Province. There is a distance of 500 kilometers from Anyang to Nanyang. Hydrogen is expensive because of the high cost of transportation.

According to the bus driver, apart from the cost, there is only one mobile hydrogenation station in Nanyang area, and hydrogenation is also very inconvenient. If the collective hydrogenation is carried out, it will cause congestion in the station yard and affect the bus frequency.

"in order to facilitate transportation, they are all mobile." Hydrogen station staff told reporters that according to the relevant person in charge of Nanyang bus Company, there is only one Yutong hydrogenation station in Henan Province, which is located in Zhengzhou, and there is no hydrogenation station in Nanyang. "when the hydrogen is used up, the car tows the jar and the customer can get it."

The youth group did not give a specific written reply or a press conference to explain the progress and direction of hydrogen fuel cell research. In the use of hydrogen energy in Nanyang City, people can't help but wonder whether the Youth Group has the technology to independently develop new hydrogen energy.

According to the public information of Youth Automobile, it began to enter the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in 2014. After youth cars mastered hydrogen fuel cell technology in 2015, they soon developed hydrogen fuel passenger cars, hydrogen fuel logistics vehicles, and hydrogen fuel sedans, and entered the catalogue of models announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

As early as in the catalogue of the 283rd batch of products issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2016, the Youth brand fuel cell-powered passenger cars were already listed, and a number of Youth Man fuel cell vans were also listed in the subsequent announcement catalogue. However, in the 297th batch of product announcement issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on July 6, 2017, six models of Youth Man fuel cell van carriers and one youth fuel cell electric bus were announced because the products did not comply with the announcement on the implementation of Phase V Motor vehicle Emission Standards (No. 4 of 2016) and the management provisions of Phase V emission standards of GB17691-2005. Production and sales have been suspended since July 1, 2017.

The production and sale of hydrogen fuel vehicles, which are claimed to be extremely environmentally friendly, have been suspended because they do not meet the national five-year emission standards. it seems that the technology of its "hydrogen fuel cell vehicles" is not mature.
