At the 24th Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, the mainland won a total of 9 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 2 bronze medals, ranking third in the medal table with a total of 15 medals, creating the best result in the history of the Chinese Winter Olympics. But outside the arena, there are still some people who use their obscure services to ensure the smooth operation of the event and refresh the "green history" on the Winter Olympics.
Since January 21, Ouhui's 1,223 buses have been responsible for transporting athletes, referees, officials and staff of the Winter Olympics participating in the Winter Olympics in Beijing and Zhang, accumulating more than 180,000 trips, ensuring safe and punctual arrival and achieving zero roadblocks; Among them, 515 hydrogen-fueled buses have traveled a total of 1.3252 million kilometers, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 751 tons. It set a record for the largest and most numerous international sporting event ever served by hydrogen buses. It has achieved three historic "onlys" in serving the Winter Olympics: the only bus brand in the closed loop of the Beijing Division, the only hydrogen fuel bus brand that has served the Double Olympics, and the only bus service brand with more than 1,000 buses.
How to practice "hydrogen" on the battlefield?
It's easy but hard. The change from fuel vehicles to hydrogen energy vehicles is not simply from "burning oil" to "burning hydrogen", behind which is Foton Ouhui's diligent exploration in the fields of hydrogen fuel cell bus vehicle technology innovation, hydrogen fuel cell engine core technology, and all-climate power battery technology. When it comes to the transportation guarantee of the Winter Olympics, the two major problems that need to be overcome are the rugged mountain roads and the extremely cold and low temperature.
The yanqing competition area is located in the mountainous area with an altitude of 1480 meters, 14 consecutive slope curves, continuous ramps of more than 7.5 kilometers, and continuous climbing of 580 meters, which puts forward a great test for the automotive power system. Corner driving needs to reduce the speed, after the corner to accelerate, in the in and out of the bend link, the need to change gear and change speed, and the change of gear there is a very small time difference, easy to slip slope, power interruption and other situations.
In order to solve this problem, ouhui technical team started the research and development task of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at the Winter Olympics from 2018, and finally innovated and developed a "no power interruption" drive system, which can allow drivers to ensure continuous power output during gear changes. At the same time, many safety settings such as front and rear double discs, multi-way monitoring, full-load body and electromagnetic window breaker are more safe to escort.
At the same time, in order to adapt to the low temperature environment in the competition area and effectively solve the problem of reduced winter endurance of new energy vehicles, Foton Ouhui innovated and developed a new generation of fast cold start high power density fuel cell system and rapid heating power battery system for hydrogen energy buses, which is equivalent to creating a cold and durable and powerful automobile "heart" for hydrogen energy buses.
How to achieve the "three zeros" service?
In addition to more than 1,000 racing cars, Ouhui also sent a support team of more than 200 people. The long working time span of escort support for the Winter Olympics, the large number of vehicles, the wide distribution of venues, the large number of operating routes, coupled with the severe epidemic situation, have put forward no small challenges to Ouhui's transportation service work.
However, Ouhui people resisted the pressure, faced difficulties, implemented responsibilities from the aspects of deployment, inspection, communication, etc., fully escorted the operation of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, and perfectly interpreted the three "zero" principles of zero mistakes, zero roadblocks and zero risks.
In addition, considering the characteristics of hydrogen chemical properties are active, it is easy to escape when stored. In order to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle, Foton Ouhui Service Assurance Team also conducts daily inspections of vehicles. According to statistics, during the service period of the Winter Olympics, all vehicles of Ouhui have been inspected more than 70,000 times and inspected more than 20,000 times, which has effectively guaranteed the safety of hydrogen use and epidemic prevention.
Although the Winter Olympics have come to an end, the story of Foton Ouhui Bus will continue to be wonderful. It is understood that after the end of the Winter Olympic Games, Foton Ouhui will continue to provide event transportation services for the Winter Paralympic Games, extend the green and safety of the Beijing Winter Olympics to the Winter Paralympic Games, and continue to provide warm and efficient line transportation services for Chinese and foreign disabled athletes.
