Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese Hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle manufacturer Hybot has successfully completed a 450 million yuan worth of Series A funding round, marking a significant step forward in its expansion, according to a press release the company issued via its WeChat account on March 24.
