Recently, SAIC Motor Corporation Limited and Shanghai Airport Authority formally signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement to promote hydrogen-powered shuttle buses, vehicles for ground services, and road maintenance.
The two parties will also jointly explore the construction of infrastructure such as hydrogen refueling stations.
Shanghai is one of the busiest aviation hub cities in the world, with passenger and cargo throughput exceeding 120 million passengers and 4 million tons in 2019, ranking 4th and 3rd in the world. Shanghai Airport Group always adheres to the concept of sustainable development, vigorously promotes the construction of four types of airports: “safety, green, wisdom, and humanity”.
