·In the era of green hydrogen, FCV starts·
► Cailian News Agency: In China, the China Automobile Association released data on the production and sales of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) in June. The production and sales of FCVs in June were 670/955 units, a year-on-year increase of 27.1%/109.9%, and from January to June were 2495/2410 units, a year-on-year increase of 38.4%/73.5%. For the first time in history, the monthly production and sales of FCVs were close to a thousand units. Previously, Hydrogen fuel cell emission reduction policy documents were released in Beijing, Guangdong and Jilin, and the industrial development was further accelerated. Abroad, Germany's Bosch announced that it has successfully mass-produced hydrogen power modules and supplied them to the American hydrogen electric vehicle manufacturer NikoIa. Toyota stated that it will focus on selling hydrogen powered trucks and cars in Europe and China as part of its efforts to sell 200000 hydrogen powered vehicles by 2030, attracting market attention.
China Energy News: There are many companies engaged in the fuel cell vehicle industry, but the scale and quality need to be improved. Overall, the localization level of fuel cell core technology has been significantly improved, but there is still a gap between it and the international advanced level. The industrialization capacity is relatively weak, and there are also some difficulties in using hydrogen. The construction speed of hydrogen energy infrastructure is to some extent a barrier to expanding the demonstration scale and entering commercialization of fuel cell vehicles. In addition, hydrogen storage and transportation are still weak links in the entire hydrogen energy technology chain. Although there are various technological innovations, truly disruptive technologies have not yet emerged. There is still a gap in the level of stack compared to foreign countries, and the technology of membrane electrode basic materials is a bottleneck for further development.
► Guolian Securities: According to the Medium and Long Term Development Plan for the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021-2035), the number of Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China will reach 50000 by 2025, corresponding to the sales volume of about 20000 by 2025. Driven by scale and localization, the cost of fuel cells is expected to rapidly decrease. It is estimated that by 2030, the life cycle cost of domestic Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be at the same level as that of diesel heavy trucks. Driven by economic advantages, Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will continue to be in high volume, and the production and sales scale will reach at least 100000 vehicles by 2030.
► Guojin Securities: On the upstream side, with policy support and the implementation of related electrolytic hydrogen production projects, with the breakthrough of electrolytic cell technology and the limitations of by-product hydrogen regions and resources, the penetration rate of electrolytic hydrogen will gradually increase. We can pay attention to electrolytic cell enterprises; In the middle reaches, under the continuous increase of local policy planning, the construction of Hydrogen station has been accelerated to ensure the capacity and operation of FCV, and attention can be paid to the construction of Hydrogen station and equipment enterprises. At the same time, the growth of orders is driving the expansion of the core component field. Downstream, FCV is experiencing a surge in production, benefiting fuel cell systems and core component companies.
