Recently, the 8.5-meter short rear overhang hydrogen fuel cell bus, jointly developed by Hyundai Motor Hydrogen Fuel Cell System (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (HTWO Guangzhou) and Skywell Group, successfully won the procurement project of Guangzhou Public Transport Group with the highest comprehensive score. As the first winning bidder, the two parties will supply 25 units, which are expected to be officially delivered and put into operation within this year. This move marks the official inclusion of hydrogen fuel cell buses into Guangzhou's public transportation system, becoming an important milestone for Sino-Korean enterprises in collaborative innovation in the hydrogen energy sector.
Core Product Strength: High Efficiency, High Convenience, and Long Driving Range
The awarded bus is a model of deep integration of technology and demand. The vehicle adopts a unique short rear overhang (less than 1.1 meters) and low-floor design, creating an extra-large flat floor area of up to 6.1 meters, greatly enhancing passenger comfort and boarding/alighting convenience.
At its core, it is equipped with HTWO Guangzhou's 90kW hydrogen fuel cell system, which achieves a power generation efficiency of 64%, and features significant advantages such as 5-minute rapid hydrogen refueling, 576-kilometer ultra-long driving range, and zero-pollution emissions (only emitting pure water), providing a stable and reliable solution for high-frequency urban bus operations.
Powerful Collaboration: Building a New Ecosystem for Hydrogen Energy Industry Synergy
This cooperation represents a successful integration of internationally leading technology and local manufacturing experience. Skywell Group, as a leading domestic new energy commercial vehicle enterprise, contributes profound vehicle manufacturing and market experience, while HTWO Guangzhou leverages Hyundai Motor Group's 28 years of hydrogen energy technology accumulation to provide globally leading fuel cell systems. This deep collaboration between Chinese and foreign enterprises offers a replicable model for the rapid marketization and industry chain integration of hydrogen energy technology.
