Recently, the MIIT's 396th batch of the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Producers and Products" revealed that the HN4251X26D2FCEVY fuel cell semi-trailer tractor, jointly developed by Rockcheck New Energy and Foton New Energy Commercial Vehicle, has officially obtained national market access approval. This marks the second time Rockcheck's hydrogen-powered heavy trucks have been listed on the MIIT's "birth certificate" list, following the inclusion of the first batch of 200kW heavy trucks in December 2024, and signifies another national-level recognition for its "hydrogen + electricity" technology matrix.
This hydrogen-powered heavy truck, specifically designed for trunk line logistics, is equipped with Rockcheck Hydrogen Power's self-developed Fe6-200kW large-power fuel cell system. Utilizing graphite-metal composite bipolar plate technology, the system efficiency has been pushed to an industry-leading 63%, equivalent to an additional 15% cargo capacity per kilogram of hydrogen. Paired with a 510kW peak power motor and an 800V silicon carbide controller, the vehicle can start within 30 seconds in -30℃ extremely cold environments and maintain unattenuated power at altitudes of up to 3,000 meters, with a 10% reduction in comprehensive energy consumption compared to the previous generation. Notably, it innovatively adopts a high-pressure fan cooling module, reducing weight by 20% while increasing cooling efficiency by 10%. Combined with Type IV lightweight hydrogen cylinders (increasing hydrogen storage density by 30%), the vehicle's curb weight is controlled at the 10-ton level, and its 700-kilometer driving range is sufficient to cover cross-provincial transportation needs from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to Inner Mongolia.
"This upgrade is not just a breakthrough in power parameters but also a revolution in the commercialization of commercial vehicles," the R&D head revealed. The new vehicle incorporates passenger car-level NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) quiet technology, a floating multifunctional steering wheel, and other configurations into heavy trucks for the first time. Paired with an intelligent connected system, it enables real-time fleet monitoring, fault warnings, and energy consumption optimization, expected to help logistics enterprises reduce operation and maintenance costs by 15%. Data shows that as of June 2025, Rockcheck has already deployed 800 such hydrogen-powered heavy trucks in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, transporting over 47 million mt of cargo and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 39,200 mt, equivalent to the annual carbon sequestration capacity of 32,000 hectares of forest.
Behind this certification lies Rockcheck New Energy's continuous deep cultivation of the "production, storage, transportation, refueling, and utilization" full-chain ecosystem. Currently, the company has constructed 12 hydrogen refueling stations, with the Tianjin Port fishery-photovoltaic complementary hydrogen production station achieving green electricity hydrogen production costs below 30 yuan/kg. The accompanying intelligent hydrogen refueling robot can achieve rapid refueling in 3 minutes. The "hydrogen energy green transportation scenario," selected as a future industry innovation case by the MIIT in 2024, is being replicated from ports to mines, steel, and other fields. In Qian'an, Hebei, hydrogen-powered heavy trucks already undertake 80% of the raw material and fuel transportation for steel plants. In Changzhi, Shanxi, a "zero-carbon fleet" composed of 200 hydrogen-powered heavy trucks travels 300 kilometers daily.
"Mainline logistics is a major contributor to carbon emissions in the transportation sector. Our goal is to make hydrogen-powered heavy trucks a mobile fulcrum for the 'dual carbon' strategy," said the president of Rockcheck New Energy. The company is collaborating with scientific research institutions to develop the next-generation 300kW fuel cell system, aiming to achieve a hydrogen consumption rate of less than 7kg per 100km by 2026. With the mass production of the 396th batch of announced car models, Rockcheck's hydrogen-powered heavy trucks will accelerate their deployment in regions such as the Yangtze River Delta and Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. It is expected that the scale of operation will exceed 1,500 units by the end of 2025, contributing to the construction of a zero-carbon transportation corridor connecting "coastal ports - inland hubs."
