On the afternoon of March 31, 2020, Weichai's 20,000 Hydrogen fuel cell engine plants officially put into operation. This is a key step for Weichai's hydrogen fuel cell business to move towards world-class commercialization and lay a solid industrial foundation for Shandong Province to build a "Green power hydrogen city"

The project was officially launched in 2018 and was completed a year later, which owns a complete set of R & D test bench to conduct tests on fuel cell key materials, single cells, stacks, engines, powertrains, and finished vehicles. with a fuel cell engine and stack production line, it has been regarded as one of the largest production bases for fuel cell engines with a capacity of 20,000 sets in the world. It is reported that the hydrogen fuel cell engines rolling off today will be mass delivered to domestic bus manufacturers. Upon the completion of vehicle assembly, these buses will be put into the market in Weifang for demonstration operation.

As a leader in the promotion of fuel cell commercial vehicles, Weichai has successfully launched more than 200 hydrogen fuel cell buses in Weifang, Liaocheng, Jining, Jinan and other regions in Shandong province. These buses have been running on seven routes covering a total traveling milage of 120,0000 kilometers. Weichai has become one of the companies with the most hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles on demonstration.
