The synergy between coal and hydrogen is ushering in a new era of cluster‑based development for the hydrogen energy industry. On November 22, Pengfei’s first batch of 100 hydrogen‑powered heavy‑duty trucks officially began demonstration operations. Leading mainstream media outlets—including People’s Daily Online, Xinhua News Agency, China Energy News, and Phoenix News’ Shanxi channel—along with news organizations at provincial and municipal levels, have all turned their spotlight on Pengfei, highlighting the emerging hydrogen‑energy industry, its new business forms, and innovative models. Through diverse perspectives, in‑depth coverage, and multiple platforms, they are showcasing Pengfei’s ambitious “big story” in the hydrogen energy sector.

Seizing the strategic opportunities presented by the development of hydrogen energy, Pengfei Hydrogen has become a “key calling card” for green development in Xiaoyi, Lüliang, and even the entire province of Shanxi.

People's Daily Online

People’s Daily Online noted that Lüliang, a major coal‑producing city and an energy‑rich province, exemplifies Shanxi’s broader energy‑revolution journey. Hydrogen, as a secondary energy source that is abundant, green, low‑carbon, and widely applicable, plays a crucial role in advancing the green, low‑carbon transformation of the energy sector and achieving the “dual carbon” goals. The report outlined Pengfei Hydrogen’s milestones: from the successful production of qualified hydrogen at its manufacturing plant to the commissioning of the Beiyao Integrated Hydrogen‑Refueling Station, where the first hydrogen‑powered heavy‑truck completed a smooth refueling. It emphasized that hydrogen will be a key component of the nation’s future energy system, and that, alongside industrial by‑product hydrogen, renewable‑energy‑based hydrogen production represents a viable pathway for China’s energy transition.

Phoenix News Shanxi

Phoenix News’ Shanxi edition clearly points out that hydrogen energy is globally recognized as the cleanest emerging energy source. Pengfei’s development of the hydrogen‑energy industry aligns with both the central government’s “dual carbon” strategy and the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee’s “two transformations” initiative, while also dovetailing with Lüliang City’s practical needs for industrial upgrading and transformation. The report highlights that Pengfei has officially launched projects to manufacture hydrogen fuel‑cell vehicles, fuel‑cell stacks, and complete systems, and that the world’s first 250 kW hydrogen fuel‑cell power system—single‑stack configuration—was unveiled at Pengfei Group, vividly showcasing “Pengfei speed,” “Pengfei strength,” and “Pengfei’s path forward.”

China Energy News

China Energy News believes that Pengfei Group has taken another solid step forward in the multi‑scenario application of hydrogen energy, marking the entry of heavy‑truck transportation in Xiaoyi City into the “hydrogen era.” This represents a vivid example of Lüliang and Xiaoyi accelerating their efforts to forge a new path for transformation and development, and it also underscores Pengfei Group’s role as a leading enterprise in the hydrogen‑energy industrial chain, actively pursuing integrated, end‑to‑end development across the entire value chain. Such initiatives will undoubtedly serve as a powerful model and catalyst, helping Lüliang City—and indeed the entire province—speed up the transformation of its traditional pillar industries toward green, sustainable growth, while injecting fresh, environmentally friendly momentum into Lüliang and Xiaoyi’s drive to become demonstration cities for hydrogen energy.

The early deployment of Pengfei’s first batch of 100 hydrogen‑powered heavy trucks is of great significance for establishing a new green, circular model for industrial transportation, advancing the city’s efforts to become a “hydrogen‑energy demonstration city,” promoting the large‑scale adoption of hydrogen‑fuel vehicles, and achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Driven by the media spotlight generated by this announcement and sustained attention from additional news outlets, Pengfei will continue to showcase its pioneering spirit and relentless drive as it races ahead in the latest wave of technological and industrial transformation.
