Delivery of HTWO Guangzhou's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Refrigerated Truck Empowers Low-Carbon Innovation in Cold Chain Logistics

On May 30, Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility System (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "HTWO Guangzhou") successfully held the "Riding the Hydrogen Wave, Embracing the New Journey"—Batch Delivery Ceremony for 20 4.5-mt Fuel Cell Refrigerated Trucks, injecting new momentum into the cold chain business of Guangzhou Yanghua Logistics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yanghua Logistics"). As a market-oriented commercial order, this marked a crucial step forward in the large-scale application of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the logistics and distribution sector.

That morning, 20 hydrogen fuel cell refrigerated trucks with pure white auto bodies were lined up like a flock of doves on the internal roads of the HTWO Guangzhou factory. The large red flowers on the front of the trucks swayed gently in the wind, complementing the blue elements of the factory buildings. The slogan "Riding the Hydrogen Wave" on the welcome board shone brightly in the sunlight. At around 10 a.m., the delivery ceremony officially commenced within the factory premises, attended by enterprise representatives including Yu Changfu, Chairman of Yanghua Logistics, and Zhang Yuanshuo, Deputy General Manager of HTWO Guangzhou and General Manager of Hyundai Hydrogen Energy Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hyundai Hydrogen Energy Guangzhou").

At the delivery ceremony, Zhang Yuanshuo, Deputy General Manager of HTWO Guangzhou, stated, "This delivery not only represents a breakthrough in commercial cooperation but also marks an important milestone in the market-oriented implementation of hydrogen fuel cell technology. Leveraging over 25 years of hydrogen fuel cell technology accumulation from the Hyundai Motor Group, HTWO Guangzhou has deepened its roots in Guangzhou. Through continuous localization efforts, we have achieved 'Made in Guangzhou' for complete vehicles and core components. In the future, we will continue to drive the commercialization process of the hydrogen energy industry with reliable products."

In his speech, Yu Changfu, Chairman of Yanghua Logistics, emphasized, "Choosing hydrogen-powered vehicles is an inevitable choice for Yanghua Logistics in response to the national 'dual carbon' strategy. We particularly value the significant advantage of the long driving range of hydrogen fuel cell refrigerated trucks, which perfectly meets our intensive transportation needs in the Pearl River Delta region, allowing drivers to completely bid farewell to range anxiety. Yanghua Logistics will take this cooperation as a starting point to accelerate the low-carbon transformation of cold chain logistics and empower the development of green logistics."

Hydrogen Vehicles Join the Fleet, Accelerating Low-Carbon Operations in Cold Chain Logistics

The collaboration between the two parties this time was not coincidental but a mutual endeavor in line with the development logic of the times. As early as the end of March this year, HTWO Guangzhou had engaged in in-depth business exchanges with Yanghua Logistics. Yanghua Logistics actively responded to the call of the national new energy policy and, combined with its business expansion needs, planned to invest in new energy logistics vehicles featuring "long driving range, high efficiency, and low emissions." HTWO Guangzhou, on the other hand, was able to provide a zero-emission hydrogen vehicle solution with "5-minute hydrogen refueling and a driving range exceeding 500 kilometers." Leveraging the profound technological accumulation of the Hyundai Motor Group and the reliable validation of previously delivered products, the two parties swiftly reached a cooperation intention, demonstrating efficient cooperation based on trust and reflecting the market's full recognition of HTWO Guangzhou's products.

It is understood that Yanghua Logistics will deploy its first batch of 20 hydrogen fuel cell refrigerated trucks into the fresh food transportation system in the Pearl River Delta region, safeguarding the freshness of the dining tables of residents in the Greater Bay Area with the new "hydrogen" power. As a professional enterprise with 16 years of experience in cold chain logistics, Yanghua Logistics' business covers the entire supply chain, including warehousing, transportation, and trading, serving core customers such as supermarkets, chain restaurants, and express delivery companies. The support from HTWO Guangzhou's hydrogen-powered vehicles this time will not only reduce the company's carbon emission costs but also enhance social acceptance of hydrogen energy through actual operational data, providing a replicable and scalable valuable model for the green and low-carbon transformation of the logistics industry.

HTWO Guangzhou's "Answer Sheet" for Hydrogen Energy

The 4.5-ton hydrogen fuel cell refrigerated trucks delivered this time boast superior performance, with the entire vehicle, hydrogen fuel cell system, and five core parts all developed and produced locally. Their driving range and reliability have been verified by the market, meeting the high timeliness and long-distance operational needs of cold chain logistics. Since its establishment, HTWO Guangzhou has developed products covering multiple scenarios such as sanitation, logistics, cold chain, and public transportation, continuously breaking the stereotype that "hydrogen vehicles are limited to demonstration projects." Since expanding its dedicated vehicle factory and obtaining production qualifications in May 2024, HTWO Guangzhou has continuously become a core driver for the commercialization of hydrogen-powered vehicles in South China with its stable production capacity and technological strength.

This delivery marks a critical period in HTWO Guangzhou's market-oriented strategy. From serving the Guangzhou Development Zone with its first batch of vehicles in 2024 to now collaborating with Yanghua Logistics to explore cold chain scenarios, HTWO Guangzhou is promoting the comprehensive development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from policy demonstrations to commercial promotion through the model of "localized technology + diversified scenarios." In the future, HTWO Guangzhou will continue to deepen cooperation with top-tier enterprises in industries such as logistics and shipping, contributing hydrogen energy to the construction of a green transportation system in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals through continuous technological innovation and capacity expansion.

This batch of hydrogen-powered refrigerated trucks is about to embark on the transportation network in the Pearl River Delta region. They not only carry fresh food but also the future hope of green logistics. HTWO Guangzhou is taking practical actions, joining hands with partners to "ride the hydrogen wave" and accelerate towards a new journey towards a zero-carbon future!
