What kind of new energy does Zotye cooperate with?

Recently, at the headquarters of Air France in Paris, France, Zotye Automobile and Air France formally signed a cooperation agreement, announcing that they will jointly develop metal bipolar fuel cell stacks and apply them to Zotye Automobile in the future.

In fact, Zotye, as the pioneer of new energy automobile industry in China, pays attention to the research and development of core technologies of battery, motor and electronic control. At the same time, as early as 20 16, the market of hydrogen fuel cell passenger cars began to be laid out, and through cooperative development of fuel cells, the forward-looking key technologies independently developed by fuel cells were mastered.

In August this year, the design of hydrogen fuel cell metal stack jointly developed by Zotye Automobile and Air France was completed. According to the current verification and test results, the performance of the whole stack is expected to reach or exceed 3.5KW/L, which will have a high competitive advantage. Subsequently, at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, Zotye Motor launched the first mass-produced E200FCV car equipped with hydrogen fuel cells, and plans to go public next year.

As we all know, oil, as the most important energy product in the world, is not only a daily need, but also an important strategic reserve. According to the data of the General Administration of Customs from June 2065438 to June 2009, China's annual import volume reached a record 462 million tons, making it the largest crude oil importer in the world for the second year in a row, and its dependence on foreign countries reached 70.9%. It is urgent to change the energy use structure. ? According to the 20 19 edition of White Paper on Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Industry in China, hydrogen energy will become an important part of China's future energy system. It is estimated that by 2050, the proportion of hydrogen energy in China's energy system will be about 10%, the demand for hydrogen will be close to 60 million tons, and the annual economic output value will exceed 10 trillion yuan. Developing hydrogen fuel cell industry is of great significance for reducing China's dependence on foreign oil and ensuring energy security.
