On September 7, President Ndayishimiye of Burundi, an African country, visited Foshan and stepped into the Nanhai Hydrogen Energy Hall in Foshan. Through the product models displayed in the hall, he perceived the research and development achievements of hydrogen energy applications in various fields, understood the overall vision, strategic positioning, and industrial layout of hydrogen energy development in Nanhai, and sought new cooperation opportunities with Guangdong in the field of green development to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. This visit to Guangdong was an important part of Ndayishimiye's trip to China after attending the 2024 China-Africa Cooperation Forum Summit. His entourage included high-level officials such as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation, the Minister of Environment, Agriculture, and Livestock, the Minister of Water, Energy, and Mines, and Burundi's Ambassador to China.
Foshan Feichi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Feichi Technology") showed off its products, including a 4.5-ton hydrogen fuel cell refrigerated truck and a 8-meter hydrogen fuel cell city bus, at the event, fully demonstrating Feichi Technology's independent innovation achievements and core strength in the hydrogen energy industry to foreign guests. At the scene, Feichi Technology's presenter provided detailed introductions to the visiting delegation members in terms of the product characteristics and application fields of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. During the visit and exchange, Ndayishimiye showed great enthusiasm and a keen interest, repeatedly communicating with his entourage to systematically understand the application scenarios and future development prospects of hydrogen energy in automobiles. He nodded in agreement and expressed recognition of Feichi Technology's achievements in the field of green energy.
As of September 2, 52 African countries and the African Union have signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with China on cooperation in jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative. Through joint efforts in building the Belt and Road, China-Africa cooperation has yielded fruitful results, with green development being an important part of high-quality joint China-Africa Belt and Road construction. Africa's abundant renewable energy resources make it possible to address the continent's energy shortages through green development, and China's experience and assistance in green development have the capacity to turn this vision into a reality.
As a leader in China's hydrogen energy automotive industry, Feichi Technology has actively responded to the call of the national dual-carbon goals and has been taking action. Through nearly a decade of exploration and practice, it has promoted the demonstration, commercialization, and large-scale implementation of hydrogen energy in the automotive field, deploying over 3,500 hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles, reducing carbon emissions in the transportation sector by approximately 160,000 tons, and achieving a win-win situation in both economic and environmental benefits, contributing to the country's sustainable development strategy through carbon reduction and emission mitigation. Meanwhile, Feichi Technology keeps pace with the times and has achieved remarkable results in its internationalization journey, demonstrating the innovative vitality of Chinese brands. By continuously expanding the international market and deeply engaging in hydrogen energy project cooperation with countries and regions in Southeast Asia, South America, and elsewhere, it explores new models of cross-border cooperation and contributes to achieving higher-quality and higher-level new development in jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative.
In the future, Feichi Technology will continue to consolidate its research and development capabilities in the field of hydrogen energy, improve its manufacturing intelligence, lead the industry's development through technological innovation, actively participate in international exchanges and cooperation, and contribute Chinese strength to the global green energy transformation.
