The first batch of mobile energy storage power stations went online

On the morning of July 11, 2024, the Hainan Railway's cross-sea train ushered in the nation's first feat, and the first batch of mobile energy storage power stations were officially put into use. This innovative measure provides an effective solution to the problem of high temperatures in the carriages caused by power outages during cross-sea ferry operations, and aims to significantly improve passenger comfort. The unique feature of the cross-sea train is that it can carry passengers across the Qiongzhou Strait and achieve a seamless connection between sea and land. Due to the length of the ferry deck, the entire train cannot be loaded directly onto the ship. When trains enter and leave the island, they need to go through a series of carefully designed disassembly and marshalling operations. The train will be split into four groups on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. After a complicated process of dismantling, pushing, pulling out, dismantling, and pushing again, the train will be placed on the train deck of the ferry one by one by the tractor locomotive. Once this process is complete, ferries carry the disassembled train segments across the Channel. After reaching the other side, these train sections are regrouped and restored into complete trains to continue their land journey. The introduction of the mobile energy storage power station is precisely to deal with the problem of power interruption that may occur during this special transportation process, ensuring that the train can still maintain a suitable temperature during the power outage on the ferry, creating a more comfortable and comfortable environment for passengers. travel environment.Editor/Zhang Liyuan

China's export orders for lifting machinery are increasing rapidly

On average, there are 3.2 sets of lifting supporting products per minute, and 38 complete cranes are taken offline per hour. The domestic market share reaches 70%, and related products are used in overseas projects such as the Grand Palace in Paris, France. These data all come from a county-level city in China with a population of less than one million. In recent days, journalists from China News Agency have visited Changyuan City, Henan Province, known as the "capital of lifting machinery", to explore its "past and present" development. In the 1980s, a group of Changyuan people, including Han Xianbao and Cui Peijun, who were good at thinking and changing, saw the market prospects of lifting machinery and invested in lifting machinery maintenance and sales in stores. They founded leading enterprises in the crane manufacturing field, such as Weihua Group and Henan Mining Group. Nowadays, according to the latest official statistics of Nagasaki City, the city produces more than 300000 gantry cranes and 1.7 million sets of components annually, with a domestic market share of 70%. The products are exported to more than 150 countries and regions worldwide. Editor/Zhou Yingwen

Bosch will launch a hydrogen combustion engine for trucks in 2024

German company Bosch has announced plans to launch the first hydrogen combustion engine for trucks in 2024 to complement its existing fuel cell and battery electric products. Hydrogen engines are less efficient than fuel cells, and cars using hydrogen engines require more hydrogen to travel the same distance. But hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines are cheaper and easier to maintain than fuel cells, which are more prone to fouling with dirt and dust, and require very high-purity hydrogen to operate, proponents say. Bosch says on its website that hydrogen combustion engines represent another option for future powertrains. Especially under challenging environmental conditions, hydrogen internal combustion engines are characterized by robust performance. In other words, hydrogen combustion engines may be more suitable for off-road heavy vehicles, and Bosch's website shows that excavators and agricultural tractors in the construction industry may be the solution for this technology. Analyst Jamie Fox believes that off-road vehicles such as tractors and mine vehicles may be better suited to using hydrogen combustion engines than trucks. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
