A New Milestone in Domestic Breakthrough: General Hydrogen Energy's Gas Diffusion Layer First Installed in Fuel Cell Sanitation Vehicle and Put into Operation

iconNov 19, 2025 18:40

Recently, a hydrogen fuel cell sanitation vehicle equipped with a liquid-cooled fuel cell gas diffusion layer independently developed by Shenzhen General Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was officially put into operation and commenced regular duties in Dapeng New District, Shenzhen. This marks the successful first vehicle application of General Hydrogen Energy's core product, representing a significant milestone in the company's breakthrough of a critical bottleneck in the hydrogen fuel cell industry chain.

The gas diffusion layer is known as the "breathing channel" and "conductive bridge" of the hydrogen fuel cell, with its performance directly determining the battery's efficiency and lifespan. The successfully applied localised product, leveraging its uniform pore structure and excellent conductive and breathable properties, has broken the long-standing monopoly of foreign enterprises in this field, achieving autonomy and control over key materials.

As a national high-tech enterprise controlled by Huadian Engineering, General Hydrogen Energy has completed construction of a gas diffusion layer production line with an annual capacity exceeding 1 million m², establishing a complete industrial system from technological R&D to market application. The successful application of this core material not only validates its technical capabilities but also provides valuable data for continuous product iteration and optimisation.

In the future, General Hydrogen Energy stated that it will continue to focus on technological innovation and manufacturing of core materials, actively expand multi-scenario applications, address industry pain points with more localised achievements, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry and the realisation of the "dual carbon" goals.
