The upcoming Chengdu 2021 FISU Games will provide another opportunity for China to promote hydrogen-fueled vehicles, after a previous demonstration drive at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics garnered attention.

 

 

A fleet of 80 hydrogen-powered buses will be put into use as commuting vehicles for athletes and staff at the Games, scheduled from July 28 to August 8 in Chengdu.

 

The fleet in Chengdu is equipped with hydrogen fuel-cells independently developed by Dongfang Electric Corporation, a Chengdu-based power generation equipment manufacturer.

 

The hydrogen-powered bus can travel 450 km on a single charge, with the average hydrogen fuel consumption per 100 km measured at only 4 kg.
