The alcohol-hydrogen electric loader saves 350,000 yuan in annual costs and reduces 235 tons of carbon emissions, promoting the efficient and green transformation of the industry

Data from August 2024 shows that the market penetration rate of electric loaders has reached 11.5%, and the market's new energy transformation is further advancing. The green transformation of the construction machinery industry is now unstoppable. Recently, the industry's first loader equipped with a remote alcohol-hydrogen electric power chain has been put into operation. This loader is from Yingxuan Heavy Industry and is the industry's first innovative energy product that uses green methanol energy as fuel and achieves hybrid power output. It is the latest achievement in empowering the green transformation of construction machinery.

Save 350,000 yuan in fuel costs annually and reduce 235 tons of carbon emissions

Alcohol-hydrogen electric loaders lead the construction machinery industry

Efficient and green upgrade

Methanol, as an ideal renewable clean energy source, is liquid at room temperature and is known as "liquid hydrogen and liquid electricity". It is not only a strategic energy carrier for the carbon cycle and near-zero emissions, but also has a high safety factor. Remote has been actively exploring the combination of methanol and electric drive, and has independently developed a highly distinctive alcohol-hydrogen electric power chain throughout the entire stack. Liquid Sunshine - alcohol-hydrogen electric is an upgraded development of electrification.

The industry's first alcohol-hydrogen electric loader features high energy conversion rate, clean emissions, no need to add urea, and high-efficiency electric drive technology, which increases efficiency by 17%. It is greener in working conditions such as sand and gravel, commercial concrete plants, coal yards, and ports. It has high adaptability in high-altitude and cold regions, with no power decline and stronger drive. Compared with traditional fuel models, alcohol-hydrogen electric loaders can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 235 tons annually. Considering the low cost and high combustion efficiency of methanol fuel, it can significantly lower fuel consumption. Based on an annual operation of 6,000 hours, a single alcohol-hydrogen electric loader can save 350,000 yuan in fuel costs. Significantly reduce the energy usage costs of enterprises, create a better profit margin for them, and at the same time, meet the higher environmental protection requirements of regions, providing users with dual guarantees of economy and environmental protection.

Meanwhile, the alcohol-hydrogen electric loader overcomes the shortcomings of pure electric loaders, such as short driving range, slow energy replenishment, and high cost. It has the advantages of no driving range concerns, lower equipment investment, and adaptability to a wider range of outdoor scenarios without relying on power infrastructure. It successfully breaks through the predicament of high pollution, high energy consumption, and low efficiency of traditional power, transcend the oil and gas era, and brings users a brand-new value creation experience.

All-scenario application of alcohol-hydrogen electric vehicles

The alcohol-hydrogen ecosystem provides all-round guarantees for efficient operation

The alcohol-hydrogen electric characteristic strategic technology route developed by Remote New Energy Commercial Vehicles has been fully industrialized and put into operation. It has been widely applied in both road and non-road fields. The 170/260/350/400KV-class alcohol-hydrogen electric systems can cover all non-road scenarios such as mining machinery, excavators, loaders, agricultural machinery, generator sets and ships. In scenarios such as high plateaus, extreme cold, heavy-load climbing, mines, and engineering projects, alcohol-hydrogen electric systems can achieve comprehensive advantages in terms of power performance, range, self-weight, cost, and energy replenishment efficiency in all aspects of total cost of investment (TCO). Taking the actual operation data of the remote alcohol-hydrogen electric mining truck in the Xinjiang mining area as an example, the cumulative operation time is 2.1 million hours and the operation mileage is 30 million kilometers. Compared with the traditional fuel mining truck, the fuel cost is saved by 45%, the operation efficiency is increased by 20%, the alcohol consumption is 168 million tons, and the carbon reduction is 119,000 tons.

While promoting and implementing alcohol-hydrogen electric vehicles, Remote is comprehensively building an alcohol-hydrogen ecosystem and methanol economy. It is actively constructing a coordinated development of green alcohol preparation, methanol refueling, and alcohol-electric vehicles in a trinity, improving the layout of one-stop refueling services, and creating diversified alcohol-hydrogen transportation capacity solutions. It provides high-quality services based on user needs to ensure that users have no worries from purchase to operation.

The industry's first alcohol-hydrogen electric loader will contribute to the high-quality development of the construction machinery industry. The promotion and application of alcohol-hydrogen electric technology in more scenarios will also facilitate low-carbon and efficient development in various fields. In the future, Remote will adhere to the independent research and development of original technologies, constantly explore the paths of industrial innovation and green transformation, fulfill its green mission, and accelerate the pace of green transformation in the industry!
