On the morning of 28 June, the country's first hydrogen-energy locomotive overseas order was delivered in the factory by the China-China Tianjin Motel Company Limited.

At 9 a.m., a “hydrogen engine car memory key” was delivered to Antofagasta (Chile)-Bolivia Railways.

The model, which uses 400 kW hydrogen fuel cells, 600 kW high-capacity batteries and 35 MPa high-voltage storage systems, has a fully autonomous intellectual property right in the country. The energy efficiency reduction rate is 90 per cent compared to the traditional internal combustion of motor vehicles.

Before the crash.

Antofagasta (Chile)-Bolivian Railways is an important railway freighter in northern Chile, with an annual cargo volume of 5 million tons. In September 2022, the company signed a contract for the export of hydrogen-energy cargo vehicles with the China-China-China-Canadian Motor Vehicle Company Ltd., which became our first overseas order for hydrogen-energy motor vehicles.

José Adasme, Technical Manager of Antofagasta (Chile)-Bolivian Railways, stated that we are proposing to achieve a 30 per cent reduction in carbon by 2030 and 90 per cent by 2050. Hydrogen energy engines are green and easy to manipulate, reducing carbon emissions and contributing to carbon neutrality.

The first delivery vehicle will be shipped to Chile in August and will become the first hydrogen-energy locomotive to be shipped in the South American region.
