CIMC Enric and Hexagon Purus establish hydrogen JVs, localizing world-class Type 4 hydrogen cylinders in China - Hydrogen Central:

 The Chinese market for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) is expected to grow to become the largest global market over the next decade and beyond. Initially, the CIMC-HEXAGON JVs will expand CIMC Enric’s existing production and systems capacity for Type 3 (T3) cylinders and in parallel install Type 4 (T4) cylinder production and systems capacity for the Chinese market. The JVs expect to start production of high-pressure T3 fuel storage in 2021. Production line capacity will be designed to accommodate approximately 100,000 cylinders per annum, in a first stage towards the middle of the decade. Construction of the new facility is expected to commence as early as the second quarter 2021.
