Great Wall Motor will roll out its first hydrogen fuel-cell sport utility vehicles and launch a fleet of 100 hydrogen heavy trucks this year as it plans to become a major fuel-cell vehicle maker globally.
Zhang Tianyu, chairman of FTXT Energy Technology Co Ltd, a Great Wall unit for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle technologies, made the remarks at an event at Great Wall’s headquarters in Baoding city. He did not give details of the model. Great Wall, which sold 1.11 million vehicles last year, is China’s top pickup truck maker.
After the event, Great Wall’s chairman Wei Jianjun told reporters that Great Wall’s plan, which was decided around five years ago, is encouraged by shrinking cost of solar power.
