Hydrofeng Partners with Yipai Hydrogen Energy: Building a Closed-Loop Ecosystem for Hydrogen-Powered Heavy-Duty Trucks in "Production, Storage, Refueling, and Application"

On September 24, at a critical stage where the hydrogen energy industry is accelerating its exploration of a commercial closed-loop, Hydrogen Feng and Yi Pai Hydrogen Energy officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement based on complementary resources. The partnership focuses on the hydrogen-powered heavy-duty truck sector, jointly creating a full-chain industrial closed-loop encompassing "production, storage, refueling, and application," providing a replicable commercial model for the green transformation of the logistics industry and promoting hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks' transition from technological demonstration to large-scale operation.

Cooperation Foundation and Complementary Advantages: Core Support for Building the Closed-Loop

The strategic cooperation between the two parties stems from a deep alignment of advantages in key segments of the industry chain, laying a solid foundation for the closed-loop ecosystem:

• Yi Pai Hydrogen Energy's Scenario and Operational Advantages: Possesses profound experience in hydrogen fuel cell R&D and production, as well as in the operation of large-scale logistics for new energy heavy-duty trucks. Leveraging its background in coal chemical business, it holds abundant by-product hydrogen resources and has clear application scenarios for hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, providing dual guarantees for the "hydrogen usage end" and the "gas source end."
• Hydrogen Feng's Hydrogen Energy Infrastructure Advantages: Leads in technology and has extensive project experience in core segments of the industry chain such as hydrogen purification, storage, transportation, and the construction and operation of hydrogen refueling stations. It can provide stable high-purity hydrogen supply and efficient refueling services for the cooperation, strengthening the critical support for the "hydrogen storage end" and the "hydrogen refueling end."

Cooperation Areas and Model Innovation: Opening Up the Path for Full-Chain Synergy

Centering on the life cycle needs of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, the two parties will cooperate in multiple areas and innovate in the transportation capacity model to achieve efficient synergy across the industry chain:

• Core Cooperation Areas: Focus on advancing cooperation in three major sectors—hydrogen purification, construction of hydrogen refueling stations, and promotion of hydrogen-powered vehicles—covering the entire process from gas source purification to end-user vehicle application, avoiding gaps in the industry chain.
• Innovative Transportation Capacity Model: Establish a synergistic model of "Hydrogen Feng supplying hydrogen + Yi Pai operating"—Hydrogen Feng is responsible for providing stable high-purity hydrogen and efficient refueling services, while Yi Pai Hydrogen Energy invests in hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks and a professional operation management team. Through efficient collaboration, the partnership aims to enhance logistics transportation efficiency, reduce operational costs, and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks in the logistics sector.

Cooperation Value and Industry Significance: Providing a Replicable Commercial Model

This cooperation is not only a significant expansion of both parties' businesses but also holds key importance for the commercialization of the hydrogen energy industry and the transformation of the logistics industry:

• Industry Level: Through efficient synergy across the full chain of "hydrogen production - storage and transportation - refueling - vehicle application," a complete closed-loop scenario from the gas source end to the application end has been successfully established. This provides the hydrogen energy industry with a replicable, sustainable commercial operation model, addressing industry pain points such as "having vehicles but no hydrogen" and "having hydrogen but no application scenarios."
• Industry Level: Focusing on the green transformation needs of the logistics sector, hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks are utilized as the core vehicle to promote low-carbon logistics and transportation processes, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and the achievement of sustainable development in the traditional logistics industry, while accumulating practical experience for the large-scale operation of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks.

The strategic collaboration between Hydrogen Maple and Yipai Hydrogen Energy signifies that the hydrogen energy industry is advancing from breakthroughs in individual segments to the commercialization phase of "full-chain coordination." By leveraging complementary resources to build a closed-loop ecosystem encompassing "production, storage, refueling, and application," the partnership not only validates the feasibility of commercializing hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks but also provides the industry with a clear profitability pathway and implementation model. This will further drive the penetration of hydrogen energy in the logistics field, injecting new momentum into the green transformation of transportation and logistics under the national "dual carbon" strategy.
