In the global race for hydrogen energy power technology, SinoHytec Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SinoHytec") has once again achieved a major technological breakthrough. Its newly released 300kW hydrogen fuel cell engine M30+ is not only powerful, but also 100% localized, with excellent power density, efficiency and environmental adaptability. This milestone product not only demonstrates China's technological strength in the field of hydrogen energy, but also marks a new height of China's hydrogen fuel cell technology to become a global leader.
Technological innovation: complete localization and high-power density
The biggest highlight of Sinohytec M30+ engine is that it is completely independently developed, and all core components are localized, with a localization rate of 100%. This breakthrough significantly reduces the dependence on imported components and provides an example for the localization of China's hydrogen energy industry chain. The mass power density of its core stack is as high as 900W/kg, which is in a leading position in the international market.
The engine is rated at 300 kW with a peak power of 360 kW and a limit power of 380 kW. These performance indicators make the M30+ suitable for a variety of complex application scenarios, including heavy-duty trucks, muck trucks and long-distance trunk logistics, further consolidating its market competitiveness in the commercial vehicle segment.

High performance and environmental adaptability
The M30+ is equally outstanding in terms of efficiency and environmental adaptability. Its rated efficiency reaches 52%, and the peak efficiency exceeds 50%, which is significantly higher than that of traditional fuel cell engines. This high efficiency makes it more economical in long-haul, heavy-duty applications, resulting in lower operating costs for the user.
In terms of extreme weather adaptability, the M30+ supports cold starts at temperatures of -40°C and can operate stably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C. By adopting the wide-temperature range fuel cell stack technology, its maximum operating temperature reaches 95°C, and can be increased to 105°C according to demand, which effectively solves the heat dissipation problem faced by fuel cells in heavy-duty trucks.
Flexible hydrogen supply mode and compatibility
The M30+ fuel cell engine also demonstrates a high degree of flexibility in the hydrogen supply mode. Its special single ejector design supports two hydrogen supply modes: high-pressure gas hydrogen and low-pressure liquid hydrogen, and the minimum hydrogen supply pressure can be as low as 0.5MPa(g), which meets the needs of users for diversified energy supply. This compatibility not only improves the efficiency of fuel utilization, but also reduces the technical difficulty of equipment adaptation.
Promote industrial development and market prospects
The release of Sinohytec M30+ is not only a technological breakthrough, but also an important measure to promote the improvement of the hydrogen energy industry chain. At present, China's hydrogen fuel cell market is developing rapidly, according to data from Dongxing Securities, from 2017 to 2023, the annual installed power of fuel cell systems in China jumped from 37.8MW to 734MW, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 64%. At the same time, the localization rate of core components such as stacks, membrane electrodes, and air compressors has exceeded 80%, gradually breaking the international monopoly.
This trend provides a huge market space for technology leaders like SinoHytec. With the maturity of fuel cell technology and the reduction of manufacturing costs, its application scenarios will be further expanded, gradually extending from heavy-duty commercial vehicles to ships, rail transit and other fields.
Conclusion
Sinohytec M30+ hydrogen fuel cell engine is another important achievement of China's hydrogen energy industry. Its high performance, complete localization and wide adaptability not only set an industry benchmark, but also provide a Chinese solution for promoting global hydrogen energy technology innovation. In the future, with the expansion of market demand and continuous iteration of technology, SinoHytec and its M30+ products will show greater potential in the global hydrogen energy market and contribute to the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality.
