Grove's hydrogen commercial vehicle "Zhongji Auto" brand and products are released to the world. The first mass-produced 49-ton hydrogen fuel cell 6X4 semi-trailer tractor Zhongji-Tianshu, 4.5T hydrogen energy high-end urban logistics vehicle Zhongji- Tianji, two hydrogen commercial vehicles make their global debut.
As a leading company in the independent research and development of hydrogen vehicles in China, Grove is oriented to global open integrated innovation, possesses cutting-edge technology in the industry, builds a complete entire production chain layout, and is committed to developing globally competitive and innovative hydrogen vehicles. Influential hydrogen cars. At this Shanghai Auto Show, Grove comprehensively demonstrated its innovative breakthroughs in the field of commercial vehicles. The world's first two hydrogen commercial vehicles developed for mass production will lead the industry into the era of hydrogen vehicles.
Strong performance, high load-bearing capacity, low energy consumption, zero emissions, and zero pollution, Zhongji hydrogen energy heavy-duty truck makes its global debut
Currently, many domestic car companies have successively released hydrogen energy vehicle strategies. And commercial vehicles are regarded as key application areas. At this auto show, Grove launched a new hydrogen commercial vehicle brand, Zhongji Automobile, and took the lead in launching two hydrogen commercial vehicles that will be mass-produced and launched: 49-ton hydrogen fuel cell 6X4 semi-trailer tractor Zhongji-Tianshu, 4.5T The hydrogen energy high-end urban logistics vehicle Zhongji-Tianji officially opens the Zhongji era of hydrogen commercial vehicles.
The high-end hydrogen commercial vehicle developed and built by Zhongji is a truly new green and environmentally friendly vehicle, and the key performance indicators of the vehicle are competitive in the global market. With the advantages of stronger power, large hydrogen carrying capacity, lower hydrogen consumption per 100 kilometers, and longer cruising range, Zhongji Automobile as a whole presents strong product competitiveness of "doing more, running faster, and saving money".
As Grove’s first mass-produced hydrogen heavy-duty truck, Zhongji-Tianshu adopts modular development and is equipped with Grove’s self-developed 120Kw fuel cell system, with a peak efficiency of up to 60%. Zhongji-Tianshu is also equipped with Grove's innovative multi-energy power system and a self-designed 70MPa 10-bottle hydrogen supply system, which enables the vehicle's maximum hydrogen power output to reach 360kw and the maximum output torque to 2400NM. The cruising range exceeds 1,000km, fully meeting the higher demand for strong power and longer range of heavy trucks.
In terms of safety, Zhongji-Tianshu’s high-strength hydrogen bottle sealing mechanism achieves passive safety protection. The vehicle is equipped with multi-directional hydrogen leakage prevention sensors and communication information interaction modules. Active hydrogen safety protection. In addition, Zhongji-Tianshu comes standard with an ABS+EBD system, which can help the driver better control the vehicle and ensure vehicle stability and safety in special weather or complex road conditions.
Zhongji-Tianshu has a long cruising range, low hydrogen consumption per 100 kilometers, outstanding power performance, solid chassis, and few maintenance times. It will fully meet the needs of logistics distribution, express delivery, coal transportation, and port transportation. Application scenarios such as the demand for high performance, high efficiency and high reliability of vehicles bring more green economic value to users and will be launched in the third quarter of this year.
New forward development, new platform architecture, full-power hydrogen power, the world’s first Zhongji hydrogen energy high-end urban logistics vehicle makes its global debut
At this auto show, Zhongji Automobile’s new Launched the world's first new 4.5T hydrogen energy high-end urban logistics vehicle forward-developed and designed for mass production, Zhongji-Tianji.
As a high-end urban logistics vehicle, Zhongji-Tianji is based on Grove's new hydrogen energy platform architecture and new forward development. It is world-class in terms of vehicle configuration, parts, power performance and safety protection. level, especially in the two key performance indicators of cruising range and hydrogen consumption per 100 kilometers, it has the world's leading market competitiveness and can meet users' expectations for urban logistics vehicles to be "more powerful, faster and more economical", which is the real meaning The new high-end logistics vehicle with both high performance and green environmental protection will be mass-produced and launched in the second quarter of 2022.
Zhongji-Tianji is equipped with a 60kw hydrogen fuel cell system independently developed by Grove. The peak efficiency can reach up to 60%, the service life can reach up to 20,000 hours, and it can achieve -40℃ low temperature storage, and -30℃ low temperature cold start.
At the same time, the vehicle is also equipped with a complete set of Grove's independently integrated electric drive system and auxiliary energy system. The maximum output power can reach 180kw and the maximum output torque can reach 1100NM, giving the vehicle excellent starting, overtaking and climbing performance. , it can reach a speed of 50km/h in 5.4 seconds from the start, and the maximum grade can reach more than 30%.
In addition to power, cruising range has always been a pain point for new energy vehicles. In order to completely eliminate users' mileage anxiety, Zhongji-Tianji is equipped with a hydrogen bottle pack design independently developed by Grove and the first in the industry. The cruising range can reach more than 1,000km, which is far ahead among models of the same level in the industry.
In terms of vehicle design, Zhongji-Tianji redefines the layout of hydrogen fuel cell logistics vehicles. By taking advantage of the space advantages of the truss-type body structure, the power system is perfectly arranged in the cabin and bottom of the vehicle. It saves a lot of cargo box volume and body weight, making the maximum cargo volume reach 13m3. In order to pursue excellent hydrogen consumption and load capacity, Zhongji-Tianji uses a large number of extreme lightweight technologies. The body adopts an all-aluminum alloy load-bearing design, which can reduce weight by nearly 20% while ensuring structural rigidity and strength. In addition, Grove engineers used a double-layer truss structure to allow users to pull more and heavier cargo.
In terms of technological configuration, Zhongji-Dimensity has added a larger 12.3-inch large screen and a rarely equipped one-button start system and other functional configurations. The entire series is equipped with Intelligent Network 2.0 Functions include PM2.5 remote detection and purification system, remote window raising/lowering, parking lot, hydrogen refueling station search and other functions. The standard configuration exceeds that of the same level, greatly improving the convenience of using the car, and will bring users a more technological and personalized travel mode.
In terms of vehicle safety, Zhongji-Tianji comes standard with ABS+EBD system, has reversing radar and visual reversing system passive safety auxiliary devices, and is equipped with a number of driving assistance functions. Zhongji-Tianji has designed and integrated multiple collision safety protection systems including vehicle collision detection devices, high-voltage automatic separation devices, and hydrogen supply system automatic locking devices to ensure that the onboard safety system can quickly and accurately detect dangers under collision conditions. , isolate dangers promptly and reliably to ensure the safety of vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
Currently, the goal of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” is driving China’s hydrogen energy industry into a rapid development track. With the release of the Zhongji brand and the global premiere of two mass-produced hydrogen commercial vehicles, Grove is committed to building an industrial chain covering hydrogen vehicle R&D, manufacturing, sales, hydrogen intelligent networking, and hydrogen industry ecological finance. tend to be complete. As China's leading company in independent R&D of hydrogen vehicles, Grove will continue to provide competitive green energy solutions with world-leading products and technologies, and is committed to becoming an ecologically-leading enterprise in the hydrogen vehicle industry and a leading player in the country and even the world. grade brand.
