California alone has 39 hydrogen refueling stations and more than 5,500 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Some global automakers regard 2020 as the start-up year of the hydrogen fuel vehicle market. By 2030, if the development momentum remains strong, 80% of internal combustion engine vehicles will be replaced by hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. According to the prediction of the International Hydrogen Energy Commission, by 2050, hydrogen energy can meet 18% of global energy demand or 12% of global primary energy demand, and the market size of hydrogen energy and hydrogen energy technology will exceed US$2.5 trillion. Mankind is expected to usher in the "Hydrogen Energy Era"!
Construction machinery is the main contributor to pollution emissions from non-road mobile sources. When the emission regulations of vehicles, ships and other transportation vehicles are becoming stricter, the emission control of construction machinery has gradually received attention. How to achieve zero emission of construction machinery has become a new problem for manufacturers.

In December, Bosch China and Qingling Automobile (Group) Co., Ltd. announced that they would establish a joint venture company to focus on the development and application of fuel cell systems
In October 2020, Hyundai Motor reached a cooperation agreement with Shanghai Electric Power Co., Ltd., Shanghai Shunhua New Energy System Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Ronghe Electric Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., paving the way for commercial vehicles to enter the Chinese market. Hyundai Motor Group (China) plans to import NEXO hydrogen fuel cell vehicles into the Chinese market from 2021 and conduct commercial trial operation in pilot cities; in 2022, it will launch medium-sized hydrogen fuel cell trucks in China. Later, hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks were gradually introduced.
In December 2020, Zoomlion released the world's first hydrogen fuel dust suppression vehicle in Hubei. It is reported that the hydrogen fuel dust suppression vehicle is supported by Hubei Haiyi Hydrogen Energy. It is hydrogenated for 15 minutes, has a battery life of more than 400 kilometers, and can sustain environmental sanitation operations for 5 hours without pollution and zero emissions. Zoomlion revealed that this dust suppression vehicle has achieved more than 95% of the localization of parts and components, and will be used for spray dust suppression and environmental management in the city.
On January 1, 2021, Sany Heavy Industry officially announced the official launch ceremony of the world's first hydrogen fuel cell mixer truck. It is reported that this fuel cell mixer truck is equipped with the PRISMA Mirror Star 110kW fuel cell system of remodeling technology, with an energy conversion efficiency of more than 50%; at the same time, it is matched with a 1680L large-capacity hydrogen cylinder set, and the cruising range is more than 500 kilometers under constant speed conditions.
In early February 2021, South Korea released the "2021-2025 South Korea New Energy Vehicle Development Plan" hydrogen refueling network with a battery life of 1,000 kilometers + 30 minutes.

On February 22, 2021, Japanese construction machinery manufacturer Komatsu announced that it will develop hydrogen-fueled large-scale mining machinery. Komatsu’s goal is to make hydrogen-fueled mining machinery reach practical levels by 2030.
This means that construction machinery such as excavators and heavy trucks will enter the era of zero-emission hydrogen energy.
The application of hydrogen energy has gradually shown a competitive trend of catching up with you. In cars, Japan and South Korea took the lead, while in excavators, Britain took the lead. Compared with fuel cell vehicles, the development of domestic hydrogen energy engineering machinery is relatively lagging behind.
At present, domestic construction machinery still mainly uses traditional internal combustion engines as the power source. Construction machinery is the second largest industry in internal combustion engine products except the automobile industry. Due to its high emission density and emission indicators inferior to automobiles, the pollution to the environment is even more serious.
According to the "Annual Report on Environmental Management of China Mobile Sources (2019)", judging from the proportion of construction machinery to non-road mobile source pollutants, construction machinery emits 289,000 tons of HC, accounting for 37.9%; emissions of NOx amount to 1.753 million tons, Accounting for 31.1%; PM emissions reached 114,000 tons, accounting for 25.8%. Among them, loaders, excavators and forklifts accounted for the highest proportion of pollutant emissions, and the total emissions of the three accounted for more than 90% of all models.
Pollution from construction machinery accounts for a relatively high proportion of non-road mobile source pollutants, and the issue of emissions cannot be ignored. At present, the national and local governments are gradually formulating corresponding laws and regulations to promote the solution of the pollution discharge problem of construction machinery. For example, Wuhan has designated a high-emission non-road mobile machinery prohibition zone from November 30, 2019, and construction machinery such as excavators that exceed the national three standards will be restricted to be used in parts of the central and remote urban areas.
With the introduction of more and more construction machinery emission regulations, there will be considerable demand for the replacement of construction machinery in the future. Due to the high energy consumption and long working hours of construction machinery, hydrogen fuel cells will be one of the most promising alternative power solutions.
The pace of hydrogen fuel engineering machinery is getting closer and closer, are you ready to welcome his arrival! ! !
