About SinoHytec

Beijing SinoHytec Co., Ltd. operates as a key enterprise in China's hydrogen energy sector, specializing in the research, development, and manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cell systems. Founded in 2012 by Zhang Guoqiang, the company has positioned itself at the forefront of the country's transition to clean energy solutions. Dr. Zhang, the company's Chairman, holds a Ph.D. in Management Science and Engineering from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and a Master of Public Administration from Tsinghua University, providing a strong foundation in both technology and management to steer the company. SinoHytec has achieved significant milestones, including becoming the first hydrogen energy stock on China's NEEQ in 2016, listing on the Shanghai STAR Market in 2020, and completing a dual listing with an IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2023.

The company's business model is centered on the production and sale of fuel cell systems for commercial vehicles, targeting major automotive manufacturers. SinoHytec has established long-term partnerships with prominent vehicle makers like BAIC Group, Yutong Bus, and Geely Commercial Vehicles, integrating its technology into a wide range of vehicles. Revenue is primarily generated through the sale of these systems and their core components. The company has also expanded its focus upstream into hydrogen production, developing technology to generate hydrogen from renewable energy sources. This vertical integration includes building hydrogen production plants, refueling stations, and storage facilities.

SinoHytec's product portfolio includes a range of hydrogen fuel cell engines with varying power outputs, such as 30kW up to 300kW systems. These engines are designed for a variety of applications, including buses, logistics vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and forklifts. A key feature of their engines is the ability to perform cold starts at temperatures as low as -35°C to -40°C. In addition to vehicle engines, the company develops Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers for hydrogen production and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems for stationary power generation in locations like factories and communities. By the end of 2023, vehicles equipped with SinoHytec's engines had a cumulative operating mileage of over 200 million kilometers, and the company has held the largest market share in China for seven consecutive years.
