Under the guidance of the national “14th Five-Year Plan” and the medium- to long-term development plan for the hydrogen energy industry, Xiamen King Long United Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. (“Xiamen King Long”) is actively implementing the national dual carbon strategy. Leveraging its technological advantages and cost control capabilities in the commercial vehicle sector, Xiamen King Long has reached a significant cooperation agreement with Beijing Kaiyun Energy Co., Ltd. for the supply of 1,000 hydrogen-powered short-haul heavy trucks and 8,000 hydrogen-powered mini logistics vehicles. This marks Xiamen King Long’s continued leadership in the hydrogen energy commercial vehicle market.
Technological Innovation Leading Hydrogen Commercial Vehicle Development
Xiamen King Long has consistently placed technological innovation at the core of its overall development strategy, making continuous breakthroughs in key hydrogen fuel technologies and progressively expanding its hydrogen energy commercial vehicle product line. In this cooperation, Xiamen King Long not only demonstrated its large-scale commercial delivery capabilities for hydrogen energy vehicles but also ensured the high-quality and timely delivery of large-scale orders under the “Shenmu Model.”
Under the strategic leadership of the company, Liu Zhijun, Party Secretary and Chairman of Xiamen King Long, had in-depth discussions with Wang Chao, Chairman of Kaiyun Energy, exploring the vast prospects and opportunities for deeper cooperation in the hydrogen energy commercial vehicle industry. Both parties agreed that the “Shenmu Model” plays a crucial role in promoting the development of the hydrogen energy industry, and the successful implementation of this model depends on both parties’ core competencies in quality control and cost management.
The Future of Hydrogen Commercial Vehicles and Cooperation Prospects
Beijing Kaiyun Energy Co., Ltd., backed by core founding teams from Xiaomi and operated by key business teams from Huawei, places great importance on this large-scale procurement project. During the high-intensity and continuous deployment of the “Shenmu Model,” Kaiyun Energy has highly recognized the quality control and cost management capabilities of its partners.
This major cooperation not only reflects the mutual recognition and trust between Xiamen King Long and Kaiyun Energy in advancing the hydrogen energy industry but also signifies the impending era of hydrogen-powered vehicles. As technology continues to advance and delivery and operational scales expand, hydrogen energy commercial vehicles will become a significant force in promoting energy transition and achieving sustainable development, contributing to national energy security and emission reduction goals.
The partnership between Xiamen King Long and Kaiyun Energy is undoubtedly a major milestone in the development of the hydrogen energy industry, indicating that China’s hydrogen energy commercial vehicle market will see more innovations and breakthroughs, while also providing strong support for the global energy transition.
