Meijin Energy Co., Ltd. – Hydrogen-Powered Commercial Vehicle Solutions and Coking Industry Transformation

Problem and implemented solution

As the world grapples with the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources, the transportation and energy sectors face significant challenges. Traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles contribute heavily to global CO2 emissions, and industries reliant on coal are under pressure to transform their practices. Meijin Energy Co., Ltd. addresses these issues by pioneering hydrogen energy technologies and developing hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles. Meijin is one of the largest independent producers of coking coal and has taken bold steps to transform its operations by integrating hydrogen energy into its production processes. It has introduced China’s first hydrogen-powered buses and heavy trucks, launched the country’s first hydrogen energy service center, and established the first set of domestic hydrogen vehicle maintenance standards. By leveraging hydrogen as a clean energy source, Meijin is reducing emissions and providing innovative transportation solutions.
