Hydrogen Valley in China, Bosch Hydrogen Powertrain Systems to build production site
After the construction will be completed, the functions like R&D, test, production and sales will be installed into the new site to shape it as the full function center and one of the most important projects of ‘Hydrogen Valley in Western China’ of Chongqing.
Bosch Hydrogen Powertrain Systems will start its new site construction in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, Western China. Bosch Powertrain Solutions China announced that after the construction will be completed, the functions like R&D, test, production and sales will be installed into the new site to shape it as the full function center and one of the most important projects of ‘Hydrogen Valley in Western China’ of Chongqing. The construction of the new site will support to make a further step forward to accelerate the application of hydrogen powertrain.
Bosch Hydrogen Powertrain Systems: the ongoing projects
By leveraging Bosch’s strengths on hydrogen powertrain development and production to cultivate innovative technologies based on market demand, the company aims to deliver customers economical, environmentally adaptable, safe and intelligent emission-free hydrogen powertrain solutions. In September, the trucks equipped with Bosch fuel cell power module completed their demonstration operation on ‘hydrogen corridor between Chongqing and Chengdu’, which is the first case for hydrogen vehicle completing artery logistics demonstration in China. Till now, over 70 sets of fuel cell power module have already produced and delivered to customers.
