Both the first and second generation products have been researched and developed.
It is learned that hydrogen fuel cell stack solution supplier “骥翀氢能” announced today that it has completed tens of millions of yuan in September this year. Angel Wheel Financing, this round of financing was jointly invested by Zhongke Chuangxing and Shanghai Remodeling, and the valuation was over 100 million after the investment. The funds for this financing will be mainly used for research and development of fuel cell stacks for vehicles and small batch production.
Hydrogen can be positioned as an internationally competitive supplier of hydrogen fuel cell stack solutions for vehicles. Its main business covers customized development, manufacturing and sales, and related technologies for power reactors. There are two major categories of physical and technical services.
In the hydrogen fuel application represented by hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, after the first stage of performance and life span breakthrough, the industry has now developed to the second stage, the industry focus is on the performance optimization and cost of the reactor. Control and professional development of key components of the vehicle system. The current situation in China is that despite the global scale of promotion, the key technologies of fuel cell engines still have a certain gap compared with foreign countries, and high-end products depend on foreign countries.
At present, the Hydrogen Energy team has completed the development of the first generation of nationally produced metal plate electric horses and 170 series products based on years of technical accumulation and independent research and development in the past two years. It is expected to start sales at the end of 2019. At the same time, it has also completed the design of the second-generation metal plate stacker and 290 products, which are the first-class standard in the international market. It is expected to be sold in the second half of 2020.

Hydrogen energy is one of the ideal solutions for the energy and environmental crisis. According to statistics, in 2017, the total output of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China was 1,272, and the number of hydrogen refueling stations was 15; in 2018, the total output of hydrogen fuel cells was 1,619. There are 28 hydrogen refueling stations; it is estimated that by 2020, there will be 10,000 fuel cell vehicles and 100 hydrogen refueling stations with high probability. It can be seen that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are showing rapid growth and their total market space is expected to be in the trillion level.
Zhongke Chuangxing said that the current global energy structure is developing towards a lower and lower carbon content and a higher hydrogen content. Our country used to take the lithium battery route, but the lithium battery cruiseProblems such as short mileage, long charging time, small battery load, and poor environmental adaptability have not been well solved. Hydrogen fuel cells can be a good complement to the new energy route. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have the advantages of long cruising range, short hydrogenation time, large load capacity and good environmental adaptability. However, as the core component of hydrogen fuel cells, the reactor has a very high technical threshold.
He said that the reactor is the place where the electrochemical reaction takes place and is the core component of the fuel cell power system. Although the reactor product has a simple structure, the entire reactor includes the coupling of hydrogen and oxygen gas mass transfer, proton and electron conduction, liquid water management, heat conduction and force transmission, and the product engineering design is difficult. Therefore, the stack must be integrated as a whole, so that each reaction element can work normally under all working conditions, thus ensuring long-term stable operation of the entire stack, instead of the stack components such as bipolar plates and membrane electrodes. Simple stacking.
The Hydrogen Energy team has nearly 20 years of technical accumulation in the field of metal plate reactors, and has the ability to independently develop and update the fuel cell stack products for vehicles, especially in the engineering of metal bipolar plates. Experienced and accumulated multi-party supply chain resources in China. Founder Fu Yu conducted eight years of scientific research and power reactor prototype development at the Dahua Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and carried out eight years of stack product engineering at Xinyuan Power Co., Ltd. (National Engineering Research Center for Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Source Technology). The development and vehicle batch road test certificate participated in the three-year international exchange and cooperation between Zhejiang Edelman and Shanghai Remodeling, and completely experienced the whole process of R&D, trial production, testing and optimization of vehicle electric stack products.
At present, Helium Hydrogen has formed strategic cooperation with quality suppliers of domestic metal sheet industry chain such as Shenzhen Zhongwei and Changzhou Yumai, which will help reduce product cost and ensure supply security. Shanghai, which is one of the leading players in the fuel cell system industry, re-invested in shares, which also indicates that downstream customers are recognized for the ability of hydrogen energy stacks.
It is reported that 骥翀 Hydrogen has applied for 24 patents and completed the preliminary layout of intellectual property rights. In the future, after the business in the automotive sector is stable, the hydrogen fuel will gradually expand into the non-vehicle sector.
