During his stay in the UAE, Zhang Jianhua met with Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Mazrui, Director General of Abu Dhabi Energy Authority Malar and President of AFNEC Hammadi to have an in-depth exchange of views on Sino-Arab cooperation in the fields of oil and gas, photovoltaic, hydrogen energy and nuclear energy.

During his stay in Saudi Arabia, he met with Saudi Minister of Energy Abdul Aziz and co-chaired a meeting on Sino-Saudi energy cooperation, agreeing to strengthen the dialogue between the two sides in the energy sector and reaching a series of consensus on promoting practical cooperation in the fields of oil and gas, hydrogen energy and civil nuclear energy.

Meeting with Nasser, President and CEO of Saudi Aramco, Hamid, Vice President of Saudi Public Investment Fund, and Abu Nayan, Chairman of Saudi International Electricity and Water Company, to exchange views on further enhancing pragmatic cooperation in oil and gas, renewable energy, hydrogen energy and other fields.

Stylantis and Hype join forces to create hydrogen-powered taxis

Stellantis and Hype have announced a partnership to supply and operate hydrogen-powered vehicles.

The first phase will see the delivery of 50 zero-emission disabled persons' (PRM) taxis in Paris, France. The vehicles, which can carry five passengers and a wheelchair, have a range of 249 miles, a three-minute hydrogen refuelling time and are 100% electric hybrids, using rechargeable batteries and a hydrogen fuel cell system.

By the end of 2024, the two companies will have the capacity to deploy up to 1,000 PRM hydrogen taxis, which will be linked to the "Paris PRM Taxi" operating licence introduced by the French authorities.
