Deeply thinking about the new concept of new energy vehicle development from hydrogen energy and carbon fiber

Why is it that new energy vehicle subsidies have been drastically reduced, but hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are the only ones to enjoy the most favorable treatment without any regressions, and they are even growing towards the target of 1 million vehicles? Why is the ultimate goal of lightweight technology is carbon fiber composite material, and to achieve the commercialization of the market by 2030?

We see that "hydrogen" is becoming the ultimate solution for the development of new energy vehicles in the future, and "carbon fiber" is becoming the ultimate material for the lightweighting of vehicles and the storage and transportation of hydrogen energy.

The era of hydrogen energy is coming. Hydrogen is the first in the periodic table of elements and is the most widely distributed substance in the universe. 75% of the mass of the universe is hydrogen. Theoretically, there is an inexhaustible amount of hydrogen energy on earth. The only by-product emitted by hydrogen fuel cell technology is hot water, which is a completely CO2-free cycle, thus reaching renewable energy. It is also due to its zero emissions and zero pollution, with a single hydrogen fuel refill taking only about a few minutes, that hydrogen fuel cell technology is widely hailed as the ultimate solution for new energy vehicle development.

Many countries have already adopted hydrogen energy as their basic strategy, and China has a huge market and a promising hydrogen energy technology. It is expected that China will be the first to enter the hydrogen energy era in 2050. The International Hydrogen Energy Commission's "Hydrogen Energy Future Development Trends Research Report" points out that hydrogen energy is an important way to transform the energy structure, and by 2050, the demand for hydrogen energy will be 10 times higher than the current one, and hydrogen energy will account for about 20% of the whole energy consumption. It is expected that by 2030, the global fuel cell passenger vehicles will reach 10 to 15 million units, which can generate a commercial value equivalent to USD 2.5 trillion.

Carbon fiber lightweighting is on the horizon. It has been hundreds of years since Edison discovered carbon fiber, and it has become the "king of new materials" in the competition for centuries because of its excellent properties of light density, high strength, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and fatigue resistance.

The density of carbon fiber is close to one-fifth of the steel material, the current conventional weight of the car body in 400-500 kg, while a full carbon fiber sports car body weight of less than a hundred kilograms. Every 10% reduction in car weight can reduce fuel consumption by more than 6% making a significant increase in range and reduce emissions by more than 5%. Because of its wide application prospects, carbon fiber is called the "black gold" of the 21st century, which is about to blow up.

Addressing hydrogen storage and transportation and overall application safety Carbon fiber composites are the perfect partner for hydrogen-fueled vehicles.

Safety will always be the first key indicator for automobile manufacturing. As hydrogen becomes a strategic energy source to be marketed and managed, high-pressure hydrogen tanks made of high-strength carbon fiber materials, battery stack frame structure materials made of carbon fiber thermoplastic resin materials, and fuel cell electrodes made of carbon paper ...... will become mandatory options to create a scientific and safe technical standard and testing system for hydrogen tanks on vehicles.

Not only that, in vehicle engineering light alloy takes 9 seconds to stop the vibration, while carbon fiber can stop in 2 seconds. Every 10% weight reduction of a car can bring about 8% improvement in acceleration performance, and the braking distance will be shortened by 2 to 7m. The unique good vibration damping of carbon fiber material has a positive effect on the NVH performance of the car and the protection of intelligent driving components.

The lightest gas hydrogen energy and lightweight material carbon fiber are being entrusted with the heaviest mission of comprehensive quality improvement, efficiency and consumption reduction by the development of new energy vehicles. In line with the general trend, grasping the general situation of innovation and cooperation, domestic and foreign car companies have long laid out the new energy vehicle business and have been effective.

China's polymer material enterprises, Kangde and Kangde Xin, who know materials and cars, have integrated advantageous resources and built a global carbon fiber industry platform, realizing the integration of the whole industry chain from raw silk to carbon silk, and then to the research and development, design and production of carbon fiber composite materials, which has completed high-end, platform, and is moving towards scale, and has provided more than 50 OEMs with the overall solution of auto lightweighting, providing important strategic support for the development of new energy vehicles. It provides important strategic support for the development of new energy vehicles. As Zhong Yu, Chairman of Kantor/Kantor New said, "Hydrogen energy is becoming the clean energy with the most development potential in the world, and carbon fiber is becoming the main force for large-scale application in the remanufacturing industry, which is an industry, but also a business, requiring long-term intensive investment of capital, technology and other resources, and the automotive industry chain is showing a major trend of upstream and downstream synergistic development, open innovation and integration. trend."

The competition of global automobile industry is the competition of energy and environmental protection, hydrogen fuel cell technology is taking the heaviest task, and carbon fiber "black technology" is coming into reality. A real automotive technology revolution. Chinese enterprises, represented by Kangde and Kangde Xin, are standing on the tide and have already pressed the fast-forward button for the development of China's energy vehicles together with their industrial partners to win a new future for the industry.
