By 2026, breakthroughs will be made in the core technology of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles and key components, achieving large-scale promotion and application of vehicles, driving continuous cost reduction, moderately advanced layout of hydrogen refueling stations, and building a hydrogen energy guarantee network covering the entire city and radiating urban areas. The ecological system of the entire industry chain of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles will be more sound, and the comprehensive strength and demonstration promotion scale of the industry will rank first in the country.

——The hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle technology industry is developing comprehensively. By 2026, we aim to achieve a scale of over 20 billion yuan in the city's hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle industry, cultivate no less than 5 leading enterprises ranked among the top five in the core component field of the industry chain, and drive the technological upgrading and cost reduction of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles (with a cost reduction of more than 30% and a terminal price of hydrogen not exceeding 30 yuan/kg). Build a complete industrial chain and advanced technological level hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle core component and vehicle research and development manufacturing base.

——The demonstration application of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles remains leading. Expand demonstration application scenarios and innovate business models. The cumulative promotion and application of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles in the city shall not be less than 2000, with a focus on building the Chengdu section of green hydrogen lines such as the "One Corridor and Five Roads", and establishing a leading demonstration application and commercial operation key area for fuel cell commercial vehicles in the country.

——The hydrogen refueling facilities for commercial vehicles using hydrogen fuel cells have basically been networked. Improve the approval and operation management system for hydrogen production and refueling station construction, layout and construct refueling stations in key development areas and suburban areas (cities) and counties, and encourage qualified refueling and gas stations to expand (renovate) and build refueling stations. Strive to build 20 hydrogen refueling stations of various types (including 5 integrated hydrogen production and refueling stations), forming a hydrogen refueling station infrastructure network that matches the promotion scale of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles.
