China-based SANY, one of the largest construction equipment manufacturers in the world, is developing hydrogen fuel cell construction vehicles; two recent examples include a dump truck and a mixer truck, freshly rolled out of SANY’s intelligent flagship factory. The mixer truck is the first hydrogen power mixer in the world.
According to the R&D engineer of this project, hydrogen fuel cell construction vehicles have five important advantages:
• The realization of zero pollution with only water and heat being discharged.
• Range. A set of hydrogen cylinders with a combined capacity of 1,680 L ensures a driving distance of more than 500 kilometers (311 miles).
• Power. With a high-torque drive motor and an AMT gearbox, the high-power fuel cell stack features an energy conversion rate of more than 50%. The vehicle demonstrates enhanced acceleration rate and climbing capacity.
• Enhanced weather adaptability. The integrated heat management system performs automatic heating and cooling in hot and cold weather conditions to maintain optimal performance.
• Safety. Functions such as high heat protection, overcurrent protection, a low pressure alarm, and leakage detection and control in the hydrogen supply system guarantee a worry-free driving experience.
