Recently, Shanghai Tuojie New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tuojie New Energy") announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan in angel round financing. This round was led by the internationally top-tier investment institution Walden International. The raised funds will be primarily invested in the R&D of the hydrogen internal combustion engine complete machine platform and core parts, while also supporting team building, application development, and market expansion, injecting strong momentum into the enterprise's industrialisation process.
After hydrogen energy was included in the basic energy sequence of the "Energy Law," China's hydrogen energy industry entered a period of rapid development. In October 2025, the proposal for the 15th Five-Year Plan clearly suggested making forward-looking layouts for future industries such as hydrogen energy, promoting the industry's transition from pilot exploration to commercial landing. As a major manufacturer of internal combustion engines, China's internal combustion engine sales from January to November 2025 exceeded 49 million units, up 14.1% YoY. The industry's demand for green transformation has brought historic opportunities to the hydrogen internal combustion engine track. Hydrogen internal combustion engines can leverage existing internal combustion engine technology and supply chain resources to help the industry achieve zero-carbon upgrades, aligning with the "dual carbon" goals.
Established in 2024, Tuojie New Energy was jointly founded by a hydrogen industry entrepreneurial team and technical leaders from top universities. It is affiliated with Zechengtong New Energy and focuses on the industrialisation and commercialisation of hydrogen internal combustion engines. The company has currently launched its first-generation 13L/350kW large power hydrogen internal combustion engine platform product and achieved delivery. It can cover two major fields: transportation power and power generation/ESS, providing efficient and reliable hydrogen energy solutions for scenarios such as trunk transportation, engineering machinery, and distributed energy. With advantages like low cost, long lifespan, and low hydrogen purity requirements, it possesses strong competitiveness.
The investment responsible person at Walden International stated that the core of the investment lies in recognizing the leading R&D capabilities and commercialisation experience of the Tuojie New Energy team, as well as its clear development plan. Hydrogen energy, as a core component of the global future energy system, has immense potential in the hydrogen internal combustion engine industry. They firmly believe that Tuojie New Energy can seize the opportunities in clean energy development and grow into a benchmark enterprise in the industry.
After this round of financing, Tuojie New Energy will focus on core technology iteration and industrialisation landing, accelerating the market promotion of hydrogen internal combustion engines in various scenarios. In the future, the company will prioritize innovation, collaborate with industry chain partners, and contribute to the high-quality development of China's hydrogen energy industry and the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals.
