On May 30th, amidst a refreshing summer rain that arrived quietly, the departure ceremony for the first batch of Proton Automotive's hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks exported to Australia was successfully held, officially marking the beginning of Proton Automotive's new journey into the new energy heavy-duty truck markets of Australia and New Zealand, and also symbolizing another crucial step forward in Proton Automotive's internationalization strategy.

Wang Bin, Executive Director and General Manager of Dechuang Future, as well as Deputy General Manager of Proton Automotive, delivered a speech on behalf of the company. He stated that Proton Automotive has always been at the forefront of the industry, focusing on the R&D and manufacturing of new energy heavy-duty trucks, and has achieved remarkable results in entrepreneurship and innovation. The shipment of the first batch of hydrogen fuel cell tractor trucks to Australia marks the international recognition of Proton Automotive's products and technologies by mature markets. Proton Automotive will take this as an opportunity to continuously accumulate valuable overseas market experience, establish a more comprehensive sales and service network, and lay a solid foundation for expanding into other global markets.

Lv Wenya, Deputy General Manager of Proton Automotive, handed over the departure keys, symbolizing trust and commitment, to the partners. Since its establishment, Proton Automotive has continuously increased its R&D investment in hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks, constantly optimizing vehicle energy consumption, driving range, power output, and safety performance. Its products have passed a series of stringent market certifications. The exported vehicles are equipped with the industry's largest mass-produced 240kW hydrogen fuel cell system and a new-generation electric drive axle, offering a maximum driving range of 500 kilometers. They are matched with AEBS, forward collision warning + lane departure warning, driver state monitoring, and a composite air suspension system, enabling them to meet various complex commercial transportation scenarios, with all indicators meeting or exceeding local requirements.

Following the departure ceremony, Proton Automotive held discussions with its Australian partners and signed an export intention agreement for 20 hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks. In the future, both parties will work together to explore the new energy heavy-duty truck markets of Australia and New Zealand, contributing to global energy transformation and sustainable green and low-carbon development.
