Handal Energy Solutions has announced that it will be making its way into the renewable energy segment through a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV), Bernama reports.
The company said via a statement that it will be jointly developing its hydrogen-paired electric race car (HyPER) in Malaysia together with NanoMalaysia, Pulsar UAV, MNA Energy and Wheelspin Motorsports.
It said that the HyPER will be powered by NanoMalaysia’s hydrogen and hybrid energy storage system, which pairs on-board hydrogen generation technology with a graphene-based ultracapacitor, which is being co-developed together with Pulsar and MNA Energy.
According to Handal chairman Tengku Baderul Zaman Ibni Sultan Mahmud, the venture into the renewable energy segment is part of the group’s strategic plan to build a sustainable business in accordance with the environmental, social and governance criteria.
“The electric vehicle market is valued at over US$560,000 million by 2025. Handal intends to play a part in this industry as technologies and infrastructure advances. The technologies developed for HyPER will be able to solve certain issues related to the electric vehicle industry,” he said, adding that the group has completed its R&D processes and is currently planning to build the first HyPER car prototype.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
There is no market for this type so where the demand comes from? I smell another taxpayer money sucking prawn.
Actually, Handal Energy Solutions is not a racing car manufacturer, it designs and sells fuel cells. A quick internet search gives me:
“GERMANY: Following a European tender, the Fahma rolling stock subsidiary of Rhein-Main transport authority RMV has awarded Alstom a contract to supply and support a fleet of 27 fuel cell multiple-units.”
“Hydrogen fuel cell trains to run on British railways from 2022”
“East Japan Railway Co., or JR East, has announced a plan to test new electric- powered trains using hydrogen fuel cells from fiscal 2021.”
Hybrid and EV pun susah nak jual sini, sebab mahal.
Now another Syiok Sendiri wants to talk hydrogen fuel cell? Who is gonna be the hydrogen fuel supplier? Which station gonna have hydrogen fuel?
Learn to walk before you run. Hybrid/EV pun tak boleh manufacture lagi. Satu lagi Projek nak Songlap duit R&D grants.
But, if they don’t go down this path they’re pemalas and/or bodoh right?
Another double talk champion here…
JAngan cakap EV. Blok enjin aluminium pun tak bole manufacture lagi di malaysia!
