ChinaDaily.com.cn | 2023-12-13

Hybot, a hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle maker, unveiled its H49 heavy duty truck on Tuesday.

It is the world's first heavy duty truck that can run for over 1,000 km on gaseous hydrogen, said the Guangdong province-based company.

Hybot said the H49, which has a futuristic design, features innovative breakthroughs in such aspects as energy efficiency, mileage and durability.

The comprehensive efficiency of the model’s fuel cell system is 20 percent higher than rivals and the fuel consumption of the model with the full load stands at as low as 8 kg per 100 km.

Sun Ying, CEO of Hybot, said the company's next-generation model will see its hydrogen consumption to fall to below 7.5 kg per 100 km. more

99.9 % of Americans have absolutely no idea that China is currently taking over the hydrogen industry, let alone that there is even a company called "HYBOT". In fact, most Californians have no idea that there are even hydrogen cars driving around the state. Could THIS have anything to do with this stunning ignorance of the existing hydrogen industry?

Reminder- While China was taking over the Solar Energy Industry 15 or so years ago this is what the US was all about
