Abstract
Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) has been recognized as one of the key technologies to resolve global warming and national energy security. SAIC Motor as one of the major OEMs in China has also invest heavily in FCVs. SAIC Motor started FCVs development since 2000 and has developed more than 200 FCVs so far. These FCVs have been operated in 2008 Beijing Olympic and 2010 Shanghai Expo. After 2010, SAIC Motor has developed FCV strategic plan. This plan has well established FCV technology and production road map. Following this road map, SAIC has developed 2 prototype FCVs for validation testing. In the meantime, SAIC is working with strategic partner to develop fuel cell stack and system to meet SAIC's demand. This presentation describes Fuel cell system development process including freeze start and reliability, durability test. Furthermore, this presentation gives FCV development process including vehicle freeze start test, reliability test and durability test. Test data shows FCVs are capable to operate at under zero environment. Also, reliability and durability have been significant improved.
