荣程新能携手安捷楚道布局华中氢能运输市场Rongcheng New Energy joins hands with Anjie Chudao to lay out the hydrogen energy transportation market in Central China

Rongcheng New Energy Group, a governing member of the Hydrogen Energy Branch of the China Industrial Development Promotion Association, together with Hubei Anjie Chudao Supply Chain Co., Ltd., has put the first batch of 10 hydrogen-powered heavy trucks into operation in Hubei. These vehicles will primarily serve scenarios such as trunk logistics around Wuhan, park transfers, and commercial distribution. Leveraging Hubei's highway toll discount policies, they aim to achieve both low-carbon transportation and cost reduction with efficiency improvement.

This project cooperation marks the successful cross-regional replication of Rongcheng New Energy’s hydrogen green transportation model from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It is a key step in expanding into the Central China market and injects new momentum into the high-quality development of green logistics in this region.

Transportation is a key sector for carbon emissions, with road freight being the main battleground for green and low-carbon transformation. Guided by the 'dual carbon' goals, Hubei has proactively planned and deployed its hydrogen energy industry, using policies such as highway toll discounts to continuously release policy benefits, effectively reduce the operating costs of hydrogen commercial vehicles, and solidify the industrial foundation for scaling up hydrogen commercial vehicles from demonstration applications. The implementation of this project in Wuhan is a vivid example of policy benefits resonating with market practice.

Rongcheng New Energy is positioned as an integrator of hydrogen energy industry solutions. It focuses on an integrated layout of 'production, storage, transportation, refueling, usage, research, and equipment manufacturing,' with a digital and intelligent big data platform at its core, expanding the 'hydrogen' economy and activating the 'vehicle' economy, forming a development model of one core and two poles. So far, it has promoted a total of 1,255 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and operates 17 hydrogen refueling stations, creating a replicable and practical green transportation 'Rongcheng Solution.'

Anjie Chudao has deeply cultivated the local Jingchu market, relying on the Hanyi hydrogen energy demonstration line and the energy replenishment network along the route to build a hydrogen transportation framework centered on Wuhan and radiating nationwide. With rich experience in scenario-based operations, it provides support for route organization and energy replenishment coordination after vehicle deployment.

The high-power hydrogen heavy-duty trucks put into operation this time have the advantages of low hydrogen consumption, long range, fast refueling, and strong power, making them highly suitable for the high-frequency, medium- and long-distance transportation needs around Wuhan. Coupled with Hubei highway toll discounts, the full lifecycle operating costs of the vehicles are greatly optimized, which will effectively enhance the commercial operational competitiveness of the vehicles, set a practical benchmark for large-scale hydrogen freight operations in Central China, and also explore new paths for cross-regional collaboration in the hydrogen energy industry.

Looking to the future, Rongcheng New Energy will focus on the country's "dual carbon" goals and the development goals of becoming a strong transportation nation, closely follow the high-quality development requirements of the hydrogen energy industry, continuously cultivate technological innovation and model output across the entire industry chain, and work with industry chain partners to build an open and collaborative hydrogen energy industry ecosystem, empowering green upgrades in more fields with mature zero-carbon solutions.
