Shenyang Jinbei Automotive Company Limited (Jinbei) and Geely's Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group recently announced the launch of their first collaborative new energy vehicles, the Jiyun E6 and the Jiyun E9, which utilize methanol-hydrogen electric technology. Geely plans to introduce a methanol-hydrogen electric vehicle model in Shenyang by 2025, with a focus on expanding methanol refueling stations in the city. The partnership aims to create a green methanol industry ecosystem in Liaoning Province, addressing carbon emissions in commercial vehicles. The methanol-hydrogen electric technology aims to provide an optimal solution for new energy vehicles in North China, leveraging methanol as a liquid hydrogen fuel. Farizon Auto's CEO highlighted the environmental friendliness and economic viability of this technology. Geely Holding's long-standing expertise in the methanol field supports this initiative, with past successful deployments of methanol-hydrogen electric vehicles. The companies are working towards a comprehensive solution, combining green methanol production, refueling, and vehicles. Recent deliveries of methanol-hydrogen electric buses have shown economic benefits compared to traditional fuel-powered buses. The upcoming deployment of methanol-hydrogen service vehicles for the Asian Winter Games in 2025 represents a significant step in the large-scale adoption of this technology.
