China is promoting the use of hydrogen-powered fuel-cell cars

China plans to promote FCVs in a number of cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu,

Securities Times, a state-backed news outlet (link in Chinese), reported yesterday (Jan. 28).

The program to promote FCVs will be following a similar pattern to the plan adopted by China in 2009, the outlet said.

In the Ten Cities plan, China aimed to have 30 cities adding a total of 30,000 new-energy vehicles (NEVs) in three years, with the main focus on public transport.

The country’s oldest carmaker, First Automobile Work, announced plans to mass-produce fuel-cell Hongqi cars this year.

The Hongqi was a car favored by China’s political elites, including former chairman Mao Zedong.
