Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "road motor vehicle production enterprises and products announcement" (the 371st batch) new car publicity.

It is understood that in the new declaration of the truck, the remote new declaration of methanol reforming hydrogen loading truck and the chassis each 1, exploring a new path for the application of methanol.

The public photos show that the appearance of the new remote methanol reforming hydrogen production truck chassis continues the remote family design. The front face style is simple atmosphere, the intake grille and bumper adopt an integrated design, more visual coordination.

The bumper is decorated with diamond patterns, presenting a unique visual effect. The headlights are round in shape, full of identification, and are decorated with blue ornaments, highlighting the attributes of new energy vehicles.

The public information shows that the remote new methanol reforming hydrogen production cargo chassis product model DNC1188FCEVGMPJ1, shape size 1180025503970mm, wheelbase 7100mm. The total mass is 18000kg and the preparation mass is 7800kg.

In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with methanol reforming hydrogen production engine and Bosch hydrogen-air proton exchange membrane fuel cell produced by Guangdong Energy Innovation; matched with micro-macro power lithium manganese oxide battery, equipped with Suzhou green control drive TZ310XS-LKM0824 permanent magnet synchronous motor, with rated power of 112kW, peak power of 246kW and maximum speed of 89 km/h.

In other aspects, the vehicle EBS has ABS function, optional equipped with direct power supply ETC vehicle device, driving recorder with satellite positioning function, and can be charged externally.

The remote new methanol reforming hydrogen loading truck is based on the chassis, product model DNC5188XXYFCEVGMP1, overall size 1200025503970mm, the container plate size 820024802570mm. Total mass 18000kg, rated load mass 7670kg and preparation mass 10200kg.

In other aspects, the top of the vehicle compartment is closed and cannot be opened, and the side protection is a skirt edge structure, symmetrical. The material used for the side protection is Q235A + thermoplastic glass fiber reinforced honeycomb plate, with a bolted connection mode. The rear protection is the skirt edge structure, the rear protection material is Q235A, the connection mode is welding, the rear protection is 480mm from the ground height, and can be charged externally.

As we all know, hydrogen is the only way to achieve carbon neutrality. However, due to the ease of hydrogen leakage and high transportation difficulty, hydrogen application is faced with high cost of hydrogen storage and transportation and infrastructure construction, and hydrogen storage and transportation has become a pain point that needs to be solved in the development of the industry.

Methanol has high energy density and is an ideal way of liquid energy storage and transportation. In terms of hydrogen reserves, 1 kg of hydrogen is produced per 12-13 kg of methanol aqueous solution (62.5% of methanol and 37.5% of DI hydrogen), which has a higher hydrogen storage energy density than high pressure or low temperature liquid hydrogen storage mode. Methanol reforming for hydrogen production provides a new path for the application of hydrogen energy.

Methanol reforming hydrogen production fuel cell powertrain integrates two modules: methanol reforming hydrogen production and low temperature fuel cell power generation. The principle is as follows:

The methanol water mixture is gasified, enters the reforming room and is converted into hydrogen-rich reforming gas, and then enters the purification module to generate pure hydrogen. Then the pure hydrogen enters the low-temperature fuel cell. The hydrogen electrochemically reacts with the air (oxygen) to form a current, which continuously supplies power to the outside.

Low-temperature fuel cell has the characteristics of small size and long service life, while methanol online hydrogen production has the advantages of no hydrogen storage, convenient fuel filling and low hydrogen cost. Carrying on the heavy truck logistics truck can not only reduce the cost of hydrogen heavy truck, but also respond to the national two-carbon policy to reduce environmental pollution.
