Qingling M600 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Commercial Vehicle Receives Type Approval from Hong Kong Transport Department, Supporting Green Logistics Transformation

Qingling Motors Co., Ltd. ("Qingling") and BIBICAR INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO., LTD. ("BIBICAR") jointly held the "Hydrogen Empowering Hong Kong · Green Future" event at the Hong Kong Science Park, officially announcing that the Qingling M600 hydrogen fuel cell truck has passed the Type Approval from the Hong Kong Transport Department, becoming the first right-hand drive hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle model in Hong Kong to receive this certification.

Breakthrough in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Commercial Vehicles

This breakthrough marks a significant step for hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles in Hong Kong, moving from concept validation to actual operation, providing a practical zero-carbon solution for the local logistics industry's green transformation. As an international logistics hub, Hong Kong has a significant share of carbon emissions from transportation. To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government will announce the "Hong Kong Hydrogen Development Strategy" in 2024, incorporating hydrogen development into its policy framework.

Technical Parameters and Advantages of the Qingling M600

The Qingling M600 hydrogen fuel cell truck is equipped with a Bosch hydrogen power system and has the following core parameters:

• Peak power of the drive motor: 160 kW
• Range: 551 km (pure hydrogen 501 km + pure electric 50 km)
• Maximum speed: 90 km/h (electronically limited)
• Permitted total vehicle weight: 8.3 tons
• Chassis weight: approximately 3.8 tons (high lightweight design)
• Cold start temperature: as low as -30 degrees Celsius

The Qingling M600 hydrogen fuel cell truck has four core advantages: fast refueling, long range, strong load capacity, and excellent low-temperature performance, effectively addressing the practical needs of the logistics industry.

The collaboration between Qingling and BIBICAR not only advances the local compliance certification of hydrogen commercial vehicles but also paves the way for the future scaled application of hydrogen fleets. This initiative is not just about replacing transportation tools; it is a key milestone in the sustainable development strategy of enterprises, helping Hong Kong move towards its carbon neutrality goal by 2050.
