Mitsubishi Fuso Unveils World's First 260kW Liquid Hydrogen Heavy-Duty Truck at Tokyo Auto Show, with SinoHytec Fuel Cell System as Core Power Source

At the recently opened 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) unveiled the world's first liquid hydrogen heavy-duty truck equipped with a 260kW large-power fuel cell system. Hailed as a "new benchmark for zero-emission heavy-duty trucks," this car model became the focus of the auto show thanks to its forward-looking liquid hydrogen technology and high-performance fuel cell system, marking a new stage in Japan's commercial vehicle hydrogen transition.

Liquid Hydrogen Technology Breakthrough Solves Heavy-Duty Truck Range and Space Challenges

The liquid hydrogen heavy-duty truck launched by Mitsubishi Fuso adopts an ultra-low temperature liquid hydrogen storage and supply system. Compared to gaseous hydrogen, liquid hydrogen offers higher energy density and smaller hydrogen storage can body volume, providing greater flexibility for vehicle design and cargo space optimization, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency, high-load scenarios such as long-distance trunk logistics and heavy transport. In terms of performance, the model requires only 15 minutes to refill 80kg of liquid hydrogen and achieves a driving range exceeding 1,200 kilometers, completely breaking the "range anxiety" barrier for new energy heavy-duty trucks.

Yihuatong's 260kW System as the Core, Technical Strength Gains International Recognition

As the "heart" of the vehicle, the latest 260kW liquid hydrogen version fuel cell system provided by Yihuatong is key to this technological breakthrough. The system, developed based on Yihuatong's independent graphite plate fuel cell stack, achieves a hydrogen supply pressure as low as 5 bar and a high-performance power output of 260kW, balancing high integration in a single system with low hydrogen consumption. Its power can cover the power demands of heavy-duty trucks in all scenarios and conditions, including climbing, overtaking, high altitude, and high load, providing a reliable technical pathway for zero-emission hydrogen heavy-duty trucks in the Japanese market. Yihuatong Sales Director Roger and Senior Overseas Business Manager Louis were invited to the show to witness this achievement.

Sino-Japanese Cooperation Deepens, Global Hydrogen Industry Collaboration Accelerates

As an important brand under the Daimler Truck Group, Mitsubishi Fuso's choice to cooperate with Yihuatong not only reflects recognition of its large-power fuel cell system technical strength but also releases a positive signal of deepening cooperation in the Sino-Japanese hydrogen industry. At this Tokyo Auto Show, mainstream Japanese automakers such as Hino, Isuzu, Honda, Toyota, and Kawasaki also released hydrogen fuel cell-related commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and two-wheelers, confirming Japan's firm belief in the hydrogen fuel cell technology pathway.

The launch of Mitsubishi Fuso's liquid hydrogen heavy-duty truck is a microcosm of global hydrogen industry collaborative development. Following the Australian and Japanese markets, Yihuatong will uphold the philosophy of "Made in China, loved by the World," continuously promote the development of fuel cell system overseas markets, and, through the deep integration of high-quality Chinese products with international vehicle manufacturers, jointly accelerate the global hydrogen industry's commercialization process.
