Six hydrogen fuel cell - powered buses , developed by SAIC ##yun Corp and Shanghai ##feng Bus Co , have been introduced into Shanghai 's Jiading market . The buses feature safety measures including real - time monitoring of hydrogen concentration , an automatic cut - out system and a fire protection system . Once mass - produced , the cost of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is expected to be comparable with hybrid vehicles , said Wu Zhixin from China Automotive Technology & Research Center . By 2019 , around 3,000 fuel cell vehicles are expected to be operational in Shanghai , while more than 20,000 passenger vehicles are expected to be in use by 2020 .
Six hydrogen fuel cell-powered buses, developed by SAIC Motor Corp and Shanghai Sunwin Bus Co, have been introduced into Shanghai's Jiading district. The buses feature safety measures including real-time monitoring of hydrogen concentration, an automatic cut-out system and a collision protection system. Once mass-produced, the cost of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is expected to be comparable with hybrid vehicles, said Wu Zhixin from China Automotive Technology & Research Center. By 2020, around 3,000 fuel cell vehicles are expected to be operational in Shanghai, while more than 20,000 passenger vehicles are expected to be in use by 2025.
