Skyworth Hydrogen Fuel Cell City Bus Rolls Off Line, Xixian New Area's Hydrogen Transportation Application Gains Further Momentum

In June 2026, the hydrogen energy transportation equipment sector in the Xixian New Area saw new progress. A Skyworth-brand hydrogen fuel cell low-floor city bus, with its hydrogen core power system independently developed by resident enterprise Shengshi Yingchuang Hydrogen Energy Technology (Shaanxi) Co., Ltd. and equipped with its hydrogen fuel cell system, recently rolled off the production line.

This model has been included in the 389th batch of the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Their Products" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, laying a foundation for commercial operation. With the roll-off, Xixian New Area has added new support for the demonstration application of hydrogen fuel cell buses and the green transformation of urban transportation.

It is understood that the hydrogen core power system of this city bus was entirely led and developed by Shengshi Yingchuang. The vehicle is equipped with the company's independently developed 90 kW hydrogen fuel cell system, and a Type IV high-end on-board hydrogen supply system jointly created with Beijing Tianhai. Compared with traditional battery electric buses, hydrogen fuel cell buses offer differentiated advantages in refueling efficiency, low-temperature adaptability, and long driving range operation, making them more suitable for the high-frequency, long-duration operational demands of bus routes.

A relevant person in charge of Shengshi Yingchuang stated that the vehicle's power system features independent controllability, strong adaptability, and stable operation, which can improve vehicle operational efficiency while ensuring safety. The vehicle's combined driving range reaches 550 km, and with its fast hydrogen refueling capability, it can alleviate issues such as driving range decay and long refueling times that battery electric buses face in low winter temperatures, offering strong adaptability to the climatic conditions of north-west China and urban public transportation scenarios.

Hydrogen energy is regarded as an important direction for green and low-carbon transition. The "Medium and Long-Term Plan for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021–2035)" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration proposes to orderly promote demonstration applications in the transportation sector, focus on promoting the application of medium and heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and gradually form a complementary development pattern of fuel cell electric vehicles and lithium battery electric vehicles.

In the Xixian New Area, the hydrogen energy industry chain is accelerating its agglomeration. At present, the new area has attracted over a hundred hydrogen energy upstream and downstream enterprises such as Xushun Times and Shengshi Yingchuang, covering fields including PV electrolysis hydrogen production, liquid and solid-state hydrogen storage, fuel cell manufacturing, hydrogen refueling station construction, and the R&D and production of hydrogen commercial vehicles. The number of related enterprises has accounted for more than one-third of the total number of hydrogen energy enterprises in Shaanxi Province and nearly 70% of similar enterprises in Xi'an, preliminarily forming an **integrated industry ecosystem of "R&D breakthroughs, equipment manufacturing, and demonstration applications."**

Going forward, Xixian New Area will continue to expand the integrated application of hydrogen energy in transportation, energy, industry, and other fields, deepen industry-university-research collaborative innovation, improve industrial supporting facilities and enterprise service systems, and attract more high-growth enterprises for cluster development. As demonstration scenarios continue to expand, the hydrogen energy industry is expected to become a significant growth point for the new area's green and low-carbon transition and high-quality development.
