Recently, 30 hydrogen fuel cell sanitation vehicles, powered by hydrogen power systems provided by Weishi Energy, were delivered to Baoding Gaoxin Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. These vehicles will mainly be used for road washing and sweeping, water spraying and dust suppression on main roads in the Baoding High-tech Zone, further promoting the green upgrading of urban sanitation equipment in the area.
The vehicles delivered this time include two types: hydrogen-powered water sprinklers and hydrogen-powered washing and sweeping vehicles, jointly developed by Weishi Energy, Dongfeng Special Vehicle Co., Ltd., and Changsha Yingfeng Environmental Industry Co., Ltd. The vehicles are respectively equipped with Weishi Energy’s self-developed commercial vehicle fuel cell systems and hydrogen storage systems, featuring zero emission, pollution-free, and low noise, suitable for continuous operation on urban roads, in parks, and in public areas.
Compared with purely electric sanitation vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell sanitation vehicles have advantages in refueling efficiency and environmental adaptability. These vehicles take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to refuel, and a single refueling can support continuous operation for more than 10 hours, meeting the heavy-load, high-frequency, and long-duration operational requirements of sanitation vehicles.
Sanitation operations typically involve fixed routes, centralized parking, and continuous duty, which align well with the hydrogen refueling infrastructure and maintenance management conditions required for promoting hydrogen-powered vehicles. Therefore, hydrogen-powered sanitation vehicles have become one of the important scenarios for the large-scale deployment of fuel cell commercial vehicles.
Previously, Weishi Energy had promoted the implementation of several hydrogen demonstration projects in Baoding, including the country's first "hundred-unit-level" hydrogen heavy-duty truck demonstration line, Hebei province's first 200-unit hydrogen-powered cold chain transport vehicle project, and the country's first 406-unit hydrogen-powered sanitation vehicle demonstration project. With this delivery, the scale of hydrogen vehicle promotion in Baoding has further expanded, moving toward the **"thousand-unit-level" application stage**.
After these vehicles are put into operation, they will expand the scale of the hydrogen sanitation fleet in Baoding's core areas, improve sanitation operation efficiency and cleanliness levels, and provide a demonstration reference for the commercial application of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles in the field of urban public services.
As an important city in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei fuel cell vehicle demonstration city cluster, Baoding has continued to promote the demonstration operation of hydrogen vehicles and the coordinated development of the industry chain in recent years. The delivery of hydrogen sanitation vehicles by Weishi Energy this time will further consolidate the local first-mover advantage in the large-scale application of hydrogen vehicles.
In the future, Weishi Energy will continue to deepen collaboration around fuel cell systems, hydrogen storage systems, and vehicle application scenarios, promote the expanded application of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles in sanitation, logistics, cold chain, heavy-duty trucks, and other fields, and contribute to the construction of urban green transportation and low-carbon public service systems.
