JD Logistics, the logistics division of JD. com, today announced its large-scale implementation of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, marking a first in China’s logistics sector. This initiative aligns with the company’s long-standing commitment to clean energy usage and environmental stewardship.
The new fleet consists of 9.6-meter heavy-duty logistics trucks, each with an 18-ton carrying capacity. The hydrogen vehicles are engineered for high efficiency, capable of traveling 400 kilometers on a single 10-minute refueling session. This deployment is projected to cut down carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 1,000 tons per year.
The hydrogen-powered trucks offer notable advantages over traditional gasoline and electric vehicles, including superior environmental adaptability and longer service life. They can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 45°C and have a service life of up to 10 years. The deployment of this fleet not only contributes to CO2 reduction but also represents a move towards cost-effectiveness in logistics operations.
