China Unveils 'Track 1000' Liquid Hydrogen System for Trucks, Breaking 1,000Km (621 miles) Barrier Without Refueling

China has fired the starting gun on a new era of long-distance hydrogen-powered freight transport with the successful trial of a 100kg liquid hydrogen fuel-cell truck capable of going more than 1,000km (621 miles) without needing to stop.

The groundbreaking system — named “Track 1000” — was developed by the 101st Institute of the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), and integrated with a FAW Jiefang heavy-duty truck. The setup includes a 300kW liquid hydrogen fuel cell paired with a 100kg LH₂ storage tank.

This marks China’s first independently developed 100kg-class onboard LH₂ system and has now completed “sports car tests” using the FAW Jiefang Blue Path "Xingyi" hydrogen fuel cell tractor. With its strong output and performance benchmarks, it’s being hailed as a milestone in the evolution of LH₂-powered heavy vehicles.

“The pinnacle of technology! my country's first 100-kilogram vehicle-mounted liquid hydrogen system” boasted local media in typical fashion...

...At the heart of “Track 1000” lies a quintet of engineering breakthroughs that define what CASC claims is the cutting edge of mobile LH₂ technology. A third-party observer confirmed core data: aerospace-grade cryogenic insulation with less than 3% static evaporation rate, stable pressure management during operation, and hydrogen storage density of 10%, enabling efficient long-distance travel...more
