2026京津冀氢能高质量发展专题会在京举办 福田汽车披露氢能商用车推广计划The 2026 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Hydrogen Energy High-Quality Development Forum was held in Beijing, and Foton Motor disclosed its hydrogen commercial vehicle promotion plan.

On November 7, the 2026 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Hydrogen Energy High-Quality Development Forum, themed "Hydrogen Chain for Collective Strength, Green Mobility for the Future," was held at the Beijing Changping Petroleum Technology Exchange Center. The conference is one of the core thematic events of the 2026 Energy Transition Conference, supported by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology and the Changping District Government, organized by Foton Motor, and co-organized by the Zhongguancun Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Industry Alliance.

The timing of the conference comes at a critical stage, with the comprehensive launch of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei national hydrogen energy comprehensive application pilot and the implementation of a new round of mid-to-long-term planning for the hydrogen energy industry in Beijing. Representatives from government authorities, research institutes, industry organizations, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain discussed policy guidance, technological progress, standard systems, and application scenarios.

In his speech, Lu Zhenghua, Party Secretary and General Manager of Foton Motor, stated that hydrogen energy is transitioning from technical reserves to large-scale application. The nation’s 15th Five-Year Plan is proactively laying out future industries, and five national hydrogen energy comprehensive application pilot city clusters have been established, injecting policy momentum into the industry. Foton Motor began research and development of hydrogen commercial vehicles in 2006 and has so far promoted over 3,600 fuel cell vehicles, achieving a safe operational mileage of over 220 million kilometers, covering scenarios such as urban delivery, regional logistics, and trunk line transportation. The company adheres to the three-pronged strategy of 'pure electric, hybrid, and fuel cell' and builds a fully independent layout along the entire chain from 'vehicle, fuel cell system, to key components.'

Su Guobin, Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, stated that hydrogen energy is one of the six future industries in the national 15th Five-Year Plan and is accelerating towards large-scale commercialization. On October 30, Beijing released a new round of hydrogen energy implementation plans, promoting the industry from 'policy-driven support' to a 'market-driven growth.' For the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Beijing will rely on demonstration city clusters to lay out hydrogen energy road networks and expand application scenarios, aiming to build a model for the entire hydrogen energy industry chain in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Liu Weihua, member of the Standing Committee of the Changping District Committee, member of the Party Leadership Group of the District Government, and Deputy District Mayor, introduced that Changping, as the core hub of the capital’s hydrogen energy industry and a collaborative innovation center for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, leverages the Sci-Tech Innovation advantages of the 'Energy Valley' in Future Science City to gather industry-academia-research entities. Including Futian Motors, a total of four achievements have been selected as national-level demonstration projects, forming an ecosystem of 'innovation origination and industrial aggregation.' The district is currently focusing on three major tracks – fuel cell vehicles and core components, new electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, and hydrogen as a green energy fuel – to build a hydrogen energy innovation and integration demonstration zone.

In the keynote speech session, Fang Haifeng, chief expert of China Automotive Technology & Research Center Co., Ltd.; Lu Chenyu, Secretary-General of the Zhongguancun Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Industry Alliance; Li Jianqiu, Professor of the School of Vehicle and Mobility at Tsinghua University; Su Zhiyang, senior engineer of China Automotive Standardization Institute; Huang Jianqin, senior engineer of Beijing Gas Group Co., Ltd.; and Chen Ying, Director of State Power Investment Corporation Hydrogen Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd., respectively delivered reports focusing on pilot interpretations, industry trends, technological developments, standards planning, regional hydrogen supply, and enterprise practices.

Liu Yongliang, Director of Fuel Cell Technology at Foton Motor, introduced that the company plans to promote 7,000 hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles nationwide during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. The latest generation of liquid hydrogen heavy trucks is equipped with a 300-kilowatt fuel cell engine, achieving a comprehensive range of over 1,000 kilometers, reducing hydrogen consumption per 100 kilometers to less than 7 kilograms, lowering the drag coefficient to 0.28, and reducing the overall vehicle weight by 30%. The company has already led the formulation of nine liquid hydrogen commercial vehicle standards and is exploring demonstration operations around Xuyang hydrogen energy-related scenarios and high-speed transportation scenarios for Shougang steel.

The roundtable forum was hosted by Qin Zhidong, Deputy General Manager of Foton Motor. Four guests from the industry, research institutes, and universities held discussions along four dimensions: scenario traction and layout, technical breakthroughs and independent strengthening of the supply chain, storage and transportation foundation and standard consolidation, and hydrogen-electric integration and collaborative chain extension. They exchanged practical experiences on the economy, safety, and collaboration in the process of industrial scale-up.
