[SMM Hydrogen Energy Policy Update] Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province: Targeting hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, encouraging enterprises to develop hydrogen refueling infrastructure construction

Recently, the Nanchang Municipal People's Government Office issued a notice on the action plan for building an advanced manufacturing cluster for the automotive and parts industry in Nanchang.

The document emphasizes attracting and nurturing enterprises in the supply chain. Efforts will be intensified to attract businesses, dynamically optimize and update the "Four Diagrams and Five Lists" of the industry chain, and target key segments such as complete vehicle manufacturers, EVs, intelligent connected vehicles, energy-efficient vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and automotive manufacturing equipment to strengthen, extend, and supplement the industrial chain, addressing weaknesses. The cultivation of key enterprises will be enhanced by establishing a priority cultivation list and adopting tailored policies to support leading key enterprises in scaling up, fostering a group of anchor enterprises.

Vigorously develop NEVs. Leveraging Nanchang's industrial chain and brand advantages, the city will actively promote NEVs, supporting multiple technological pathways including pure electric, plug-in hybrid, extended-range hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles, while accelerating product upgrades and diversified development. The adoption of NEVs will be expedited, promoting electrification in public sectors such as official, taxi, and logistics vehicles. The construction of charging infrastructure networks will be accelerated to establish a citywide, scientifically distributed, and fully visible "integrated charging network." Pilot work will be conducted to address gaps in charging and battery swapping facilities in counties, encouraging enterprises to build hydrogen refueling infrastructure, thereby creating a favorable environment for NEV usage. By 2027, the city aims to achieve an annual NEV production of 250,000 units.

Support enterprises in tackling key technologies such as hybrid drive systems, hydrogen internal combustion engines, fuel cell engines, and high-performance diesel engines, while proactively laying the groundwork for fundamental research and exploring the integration of the automotive industry with the low-altitude economy and embodied intelligence. The city strives to implement 3-5 municipal-level key R&D projects annually.

Support major projects. Adhering to the principle of "project priority," the focus will be on attracting large-scale investments. For projects in key segments of the industrial chain—such as EVs, hybrid vehicles, intelligent connected vehicles, energy-efficient vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and automotive manufacturing equipment—with investments of 500 million yuan or more, tiered rewards will be provided to the respective districts based on project specifics to support project completion and operation.
