On the afternoon of July 6, the Clean Energy Automotive Engineering Center of Tongji University (CEAEC) held a ceremony to debut a new hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. The car was researched and built independently by China； and is leaving the laboratory to head for Olympics venues.
As an important member of the 2008 Beijing Olympics,"Green Cars," 20 hydrogen fuel cell Passat Lingyu vehicles built by the Shanghai Fuel Cell Vehicle Powertrain Co., Ltd have passed stringent national safety, reliability, and durability inspections; and obtained government certification.
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have finished trial testing. They will serve as government vehicles in areas central to the Olympic Games; act as an operating model among 500 other types of electric cars on roads; and achieve zero pollution in the Olympic core area.
This vehicle runs on hydrogen, converting hydrogen to water in a chemical reaction; and results in zero pollution. Through a process of improvement and optimization with each generation of vehicles, the newest model of hydrogen fuel cell cars has the highest mileage, able to reach a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Each time it is charged, it can be driven for over 300 kilometers non-stop.
