At the 2025 Taiwan Hydrogen and Electric Bus Net-Zero Mobility Forum held in Kaohsiung today, major heavy electrical equipment manufacturer Chung-Hsing Electric & Machinery Manufacturing Corp. (CHEM) announced a collaboration with Huro Auto and Capital Bus and unveiled a hydrogen fuel cell-powered bus, marking a strategic move into the hydrogen transportation and net-zero transition sectors. Over the next three years, the partnership aims to expand the international market for hydrogen-powered buses, with a focus on advancing into the Asian new energy market.

According to CHEM, both Huro Auto and Capital Bus are its long-term strategic partners. The parties have accumulated practical experience and developed strong collaboration through multiple electric vehicle transportation projects, and are planning to expand into overseas markets. In the next three years, the partnership will actively leverage their overseas business network and domestic technology partners to expand international deployment opportunities for hydrogen-powered buses, and develop flexible and competitive export solutions and create a replicable model fleet to expand into the Asian new energy market.

The newly launched hydrogen-powered bus features a fast refueling capability of 7 to 10 minutes and offers a driving range of up to 365 kilometers. It is suitable for a variety of operational scenarios, including high-frequency, long-distance, and heavy-load routes. The vehicle is fully equipped with a 35MPa high-pressure hydrogen supply system, featuring internationally certified hydrogen storage components, hydrogen embrittlement-resistant materials, and a real-time leak detection system.
