In the context of global energy transformation, hydrogen-powered vehicles, as a clean energy means of transportation, are gradually gaining attention. However, the core component technology of hydrogen-powered vehicles has long been monopolized by foreign companies, especially the storage and delivery system of liquid hydrogen. Due to the extremely low temperature of liquid hydrogen (-253°C), the components have extremely high requirements for low temperature resistance, high pressure resistance and corrosion resistance. This technical monopoly has led to high prices and long delivery cycles for related products, which has seriously restricted the industrialization process of domestic hydrogen-powered vehicles.

 

1. Foreign monopoly and demand for domestic substitution
Take Jinlong Group as an example. The instrument connectors of its hydrogen-powered buses have previously relied on imports, and the main suppliers include companies such as Swagelok and Parker in the United States. Although these imported products have reliable performance, the high cost and long delivery time have brought huge economic burdens and production pressures to the companies. Therefore, realizing the domestic substitution of hydrogen-powered bus instrument connectors is not only a need to reduce costs, but also the key to ensuring the independent and controllable industry.

 

2. Master's localization breakthrough
As a leader in the field of domestic fluid connectors, Master has successfully developed an instrument connector suitable for hydrogen-powered buses after years of technical research and innovation. The product has undergone rigorous testing by Jinlong Group and related manufacturers, including a series of processes such as product size inspection, performance testing, installation test and vehicle practical testing, and was finally determined to fully meet the performance standards for hydrogen-powered buses.

 

Master's hydrogen-powered bus instrument connector not only reaches the level of similar foreign products in terms of dimensional accuracy, but also achieves significant improvement in pressure resistance. This breakthrough not only breaks the foreign technology monopoly, but also provides domestic hydrogen-powered automobile companies with a more cost-effective option, greatly reducing production costs and procurement cycles.

 

3. Technological innovation and product advantages
Master's hydrogen-powered bus instrument connector uses advanced materials and manufacturing processes, which can effectively cope with the extreme low temperature environment of liquid hydrogen. Its product design incorporates humanized functions such as anti-slip and anti-shedding, further improving the safety and reliability of use. In addition, Mastertech has also achieved lightweight and compact products through modular design and optimized product structure, making it more suitable for the complex working conditions of hydrogen-powered buses.

 

4. The far-reaching significance of domestic substitution
Mastertech's success is not only reflected in product performance, but also in its promotion of the independent development of the domestic hydrogen-powered automobile parts industry. By breaking the foreign technology monopoly, Mastertech has provided more choices for domestic hydrogen-powered automobile companies and reduced their dependence on imported products. This breakthrough has also set an example for other domestic parts companies, encouraging more companies to devote themselves to the research and development and production of core parts for hydrogen-powered vehicles.

 

With the continuous expansion of the hydrogen-powered automobile market, the demand for domestic substitution will become more urgent. Mastertech's success has provided valuable experience for domestic parts companies, and it is expected to achieve breakthroughs in more key parts areas in the future. At the same time, Mastertech will continue to increase its R&D investment, further improve the performance and reliability of its products, and contribute more to the commercialization and industrialization of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
