Professor Lai Xinmin, Director of the Institute for Thin-Plate Structure Manufacturing at the School of Mechanical Engineering and Power Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Dr. Wang Yabo, Chairman and President of Shanghai Kunhua Technology, and Ma Xiaolong, Chairman of Shanxi Kunpeng Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd., jointly unveiled… The world’s first set Single-stack 250 kW hydrogen fuel cell engine system— Kun·Yun 200 The veil of mystery.

Sun Dajun, Secretary of the Lüliang Municipal Party Committee; Liu Shiqing, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Lüliang Municipal People’s Congress and Secretary of the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee; along with other government leaders, as well as Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and President of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Lin Zhongqin; Huang Dinan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shenneng Group; and Zheng Peng, Chairman of the Board and President of Pengfei Group, attended the press conference and jointly witnessed what is being hailed as the “terminator of land transportation.” Kun·Yun 200 Its first appearance.

 

 

Sun Dajun, Secretary of the Lüliang Municipal Party Committee, extended his congratulations on the world’s first single‑stack 250 kW hydrogen fuel cell power system jointly developed by Shenneng Group and Pengfei Group, and expressed his gratitude to the experts and enterprises that have supported and shown concern for the development of Lüliang’s hydrogen energy industry.

Sun Dajun, Secretary of the Lüliang Municipal Party Committee: “Today marks a double celebration for the development of Lüliang’s hydrogen energy industry. As the largest centralized coking‑industry cluster in Shanxi Province and across the nation, Lüliang boasts abundant resources of coke oven gas and coal‑chemical tail gases, giving it a distinct cost advantage in large‑scale hydrogen production. Seizing the strategic opportunities presented by national and provincial policies supporting the hydrogen economy, we are vigorously advancing the energy revolution—particularly by positioning the hydrogen sector as a key emerging strategic industry—and have unveiled Lüliang City’s medium‑ to long‑term hydrogen‑energy development plan along with an annual action roadmap. We are committed to building a complete industrial chain spanning hydrogen production, storage, transportation, refueling, and end‑use applications, with the aim of establishing a northern hydrogen‑energy hub. A number of leading enterprises with strong growth potential have already emerged, and the sector is enjoying robust momentum. With the close collaboration of Shenneng Group, the active participation of domestic companies, and the technological innovation-driven support of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, we are even more confident in the healthy development of Lüliang’s energy transition and its hydrogen‑energy industry. We wish our cooperation continued success and hope that all entrepreneurs will continue to achieve new milestones on this vibrant land of Lüliang.”

 

 

This time, Kunhua Technology has released Kun·Yun 200 It is a hydrogen fuel cell engine system with a rated power of 250 kW (single stack). Designed from the ground up to meet the full‑range operating conditions of heavy‑duty commercial vehicles, this system… , Kun·Yun 200 It adopts a brand-new system architecture that balances the compatibility and scalability of all key components, featuring high integration, high efficiency, high performance, high reliability, and advanced intelligence.

 

Product Features

High integration: It adopts a single-core design with a power density of 900 W/kg. While simplifying the manufacturing process, it can accommodate various core configurations, meeting diverse customer requirements.

High efficiency: The rated‑point operating efficiency is 48.8%, the typical‑use efficiency is 52.6%, and the peak efficiency reaches 65.1%. Hydrogen consumption is lower than that of conventional systems on the market, helping to reduce overall vehicle operating costs.

High performance: By leveraging self-developed core components—the variable‑geometry expander, an intercooler–humidification coupling control system, and an adjustable single‑stage ejector system—this system achieves energy recovery across the entire operating range, precise humidity regulation, and an adjustable reflux ratio, thereby meeting the demands of high‑speed operation, full‑load conditions, and uphill driving.

High reliability: Designed for a service life of 20,000 hours, it meets the operational requirements of extreme cold, high temperature, and high-altitude environments and is resistant to harsh conditions containing sulfur compounds and nitrogen oxides.

High intelligence: High control precision, automatic collection of environmental data, cloud-based optimization, and automatic adjustment to optimal operating conditions—enhancing overall vehicle performance.

 

 

The Taiyuan Forum on Energy and Low-Carbon Development is co-hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Energy Administration, and the People’s Government of Shanxi Province. It is a national‑level, international, and specialized forum that focuses on “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” and proactively supports China’s national strategies. Among its events, the Hydrogen Economy Development Forum centers on a clean, low‑carbon hydrogen economy, aiming to promote diversity and pluralism in the energy sector’s dual‑carbon transition.

Since the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the “Medium- and Long-Term Plan for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021–2035)” in March this year, cities across the country have seized the opportunities presented by the hydrogen energy sector, cultivated new drivers of economic growth, and worked to build a modern energy system that is clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient. Designed specifically for heavy-duty truck applications, it delivers outstanding performance across a range of key metrics. Kun·Yun 200 Its launch has dismantled the barriers between R&D capabilities, product‑implementation expertise, and market demand for high‑power system products. While perfectly tailored to the demanding operating conditions of heavy‑duty trucks, it can also be extended to higher‑power applications such as locomotives, marine vessels, and hydrogen‑based power generation, opening up a broader range of possibilities for customers.

As a leading coal-producing province in China, Shanxi has been actively pursuing an energy transition under the 14th Five-Year Plan and has designated hydrogen energy as one of its “seven pioneering industries of the future” for prioritized development in the provincial plan.

Looking ahead, Pengfei Group will continue to pursue groundbreaking innovations in fuel cell system performance and industrialization, further deepen its presence in Shanxi’s hydrogen energy market, and contribute Pengfei’s expertise to helping Shanxi Province implement its “dual carbon” strategy and establish a new hub for the hydrogen energy industry.
