The first batch of 500 hydrogen-powered two-wheelers in Hubei Province were officially put into operation

On June 10, 2025, the launch ceremony for hydrogen-powered two-wheelers, hosted by Wuhan Zhongyu Power System Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhongyu), Hubei Hydrogen Run Travel New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Engineering Polytechnic, and others, and themed "Hydrogen Powers a New Journey, Green Shines in Tongdu," was grandly held in Huangshi, Hubei. The first batch of 500 hydrogen-powered two-wheelers in Hubei officially commenced operations at the new campus of Hubei Engineering Polytechnic. Yu Aimin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President of Hubei Engineering Polytechnic, Chen Biaobiao, Member of the Party Committee and Vice President, Liu Yingping, Chairman of Zhongyu, Dr. Li Xiao, General Manager of Zhongyu, Ding Yuyang, General Manager of Hydrogen Run, and other guests attended the event to jointly witness this significant moment.

The First Batch in Hubei Ushers in the Era of Hydrogen-Powered Travel

At the launch ceremony, banners fluttered and crowds gathered. Rows of blue hydrogen-powered two-wheelers were neatly lined up at the event site. Guests from the government, faculty and students from universities, and partners gathered to witness the grand opening of this hydrogen energy event. Yu Aimin, Liu Yingping, Li Xiao, and other guests jointly pushed the lever to announce the official operation of the first batch of 500 hydrogen-powered two-wheelers in Hubei. The scene erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. With Yu Aimin's command, the first group of hydrogen-powered shared travel pioneers rode out in a steady stream on hydrogen-powered two-wheelers, ushering in a new era of hydrogen-powered shared travel in Hubei. After the event, partners from across the country, as well as faculty and students from the school, rushed to try out the hydrogen-powered two-wheelers, experiencing the charm of zero-carbon travel powered by hydrogen energy.

Pioneers in Zero-Carbon Travel, Decoding the Advantages of Green Travel

The 500 hydrogen-powered two-wheelers launched this time were independently developed by Zhongyu. Using hydrogen as their energy source, they emit only water, making them true zero-carbon travel options. Each vehicle can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 150kg annually. Equipped with Zhongyu's hydrogen fuel cell system and low-pressure solid-state hydrogen storage system, and featuring lightweight fuel cell stacks, intelligent electronic control systems, and user-friendly hydrogen replacement designs, these vehicles can achieve an ultra-long driving range of 90km, maintain full range performance at -10°C, and enable rapid hydrogen replacement in 30 seconds. They are characterized by zero-carbon emissions, environmental protection, safety, reliability, high efficiency, ultra-long driving range, and simple management, making them highly suitable for short-distance travel, commuting within scenic areas/universities, and shared/express delivery scenarios. Along with other hydrogen-powered transportation end-use applications, they are helping to usher in a comprehensive zero-carbon era for public travel.

Forging a New Path: Zhongyu Supports Zero-Carbon Travel

The market size of China's internet-rented two-wheelers is approximately 30 billion yuan, with an ownership of about 20 million units, a daily average of 100 million orders, and over 300 million users, indicating significant market potential. For short-distance travel needs of 3-5 kilometers and urban public transportation connections, hydrogen-powered two-wheelers, with their superiority in safety, driving range, refueling efficiency, lifespan, and environmental protection, are emerging as a new choice to meet market demands. As one of the early domestic enterprises engaged in the R&D and promotion of hydrogen energy and fuel cells, Zhongyu has achieved layout in key segments of the hydrogen energy industry chain and mastered core technologies. It has completed product development and achieved practical operation in multiple scenarios, including commercial vehicles, ships, backup power supplies, stationary power stations, and hydrogen energy storage systems (ESS). The launch and operation of 500 hydrogen-powered two-wheelers this time marks a new path for Zhongyu in the practical application of hydrogen energy scenarios, penetrating into fields such as urban short-distance travel, commuting within scenic spots/universities, and shared/express delivery services. It can provide customers with integrated hydrogen energy solutions tailored to different scenarios, encompassing hydrogen production and refueling, hydrogen replacement, hydrogen-powered two-wheelers/sightseeing vehicles, and operation services.

Drawing the Blueprint for Hubei's Hydrogen Energy Future with Hydrogen as the Brush

Hydrogen energy is globally recognized as the ultimate energy source of the future, and its development has become a global consensus. China has explicitly identified hydrogen energy as one of its energy sources and included its development as one of the country's strategic emerging industries. In the "Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry in Hubei Province (2024-2027)", Hubei Province points out the need to seize the commanding heights of the modern hydrogen energy industry, build a hydrogen energy industry cluster with national influence, and promote the construction of Hubei Province as a strong hydrogen energy province. Huangshi City has proposed in relevant documents to layout future industries such as hydrogen energy, actively explore the development and utilization of hydrogen energy, and accelerate the green transformation of energy. The launch and operation of these 500 hydrogen-powered two-wheelers are the first batch in Hubei Province and among the forefront in China. By conducting shared demonstration operations of hydrogen-powered two-wheelers on university campuses, the application scope will be gradually expanded, promoting Huangshi's transition towards zero-carbon travel and green development. This will set a new benchmark for sustainable and green-low carbon development in Hubei's hydrogen energy industry and contribute Huangshi's strength to building Hubei into a hydrogen energy hub in China.

The Journey is Long, but We Start Anew. The launch and operation of the first batch of 500 hydrogen-powered two-wheelers in Hubei Province mark not only an endpoint but also a starting point. Zhongyu will take this as an opportunity to consolidate its advantages, continuously improve, and innovate in hydrogen energy application scenarios, enabling more people to achieve a beautiful life of zero-carbon travel with hydrogen energy!
