Advantech has signed a letter of intent with Tsai Ying Clean Energy Co. Ltd (TYCE) to develop the first “Made In Taiwan” hydrogen fuel cell electric bus (FCEB) management system, as well as jointly explore domestic and international markets for it.
In line with the global push toward net zero by 2050, the Taiwanese Government has announced its net-zero road map , focusing on policy guidelines such as energy efficiency, green energy and maximising carbon emissions reduction through measures such as electric transportation.
Under the Letter of Intent, Advantech will provide software and hardware integrated solutions on TYCE’s hydrogen FCEBs, such as the intelligent eBus management cloud platform, TREK in-vehicle computing box, AI-based fleet safety, vehicle diagnosis and on-board passenger multimedia infotainment services. These solutions will improve the safety and efficiency of hydrogen FCEBs and offer travellers more comfortable journeys.
MC Chiang, Vice President of Advantech’s Service IoT Group, said the company is dedicated to becoming an active supporter of a sustainable planet through sustainable acts and policies, in line with the corporate vision for Enabling an Intelligent Planet.
“In addition to actively setting goals for green operations, environmental management and greenhouse gas emissions in recent years, we strive to provide solutions in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals are also in tune with the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ proposal for investing in research and development of key technologies within ten years to achieve net-zero carbon emission goals such as deploying electric transportation by 2030.”
Van Lin, Senior Director of Advantech’s Service IoT Group, emphasised that “Advantech has been cultivating fleet management and smart bus applications for more than ten years, with successful cases all over the world. We have been vigorously cooperating with global partners in the electric bus industry to realise the vision of low-carbon green energy transportation.”
Eagle Cheng, chairman of Tsai Ying Clean Energy, said that as countries around the world are committed to carbon neutrality, hydrogen FCEBs are the ultimate products for large public bus product lines.
“This cooperation with Advantech is not only for jointly developing the first hydrogen FCEB management system suitable for operation in Taiwan, by leveraging Advantech’s collective experience in the smart eBus field, but also hopes to mobilise Advantech’s global network for the promotion of hydrogen FCEBs. Moreover, this cooperation will raise the self-sufficiency rate of hydrogen FCEBs in Taiwan and improve both companies’ international competitiveness.”
Advantech and Tsai Ying Clean Energy Co. Ltd are expected to complete Taiwan’s first hydrogen FCEB management system by the end of 2022 and will promote it together globally in the future. This is expected to boost Industrial IoT solutions all over the world.
