In 2020, SANY rolled out the world's first hydrogen fuel cell mixer truck and dump truck in its Lighthouse factory in Shaoyang, marking the group's first step into the "era of hydrogen." The electrified highway provides a wide range of road condition scenarios for testing vehicle performance, including ramps, bumpy, waded and drenched roads. Compared to pure electric heavy trucks that run on power batteries, the new vehicle can prevent low temperature effects while increasing energy efficiency by 6 percent. The station plans to install three units of 35MPa dual-metering hydrogen dispensers with an average hydrogen refueling speed of 2kg/min. The climate crisis has catalyzed the global transition to clean and new energy.

Millions celebrate WWF's 2023 Earth Hour, creating The Biggest ... (WWF)

Global leaders, celebrities, individuals, youth groups and businesses from over 190 countries and territories came together at 8:30pm on Saturday 25 March, ...

Historically, Earth Hour has focused on the climate crisis, but more recently, Earth Hour has strived to also bring the pressing issue of nature loss to the fore. Earth Hour is therefore more important than ever, for ensuring that millions of people across the globe gather in this moment of solidarity, to celebrate and protect our planet. WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by conserving the world's biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption. Together we’ve created the Biggest Hour for Earth yet – we’ve managed to turn a single hour into millions of hours of positive actions for the planet – keeping a light on our crucial 2030 goals and the people ready to defend them. Born in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour has grown to become the world's largest grassroots movements for the environment, inspiring individuals, communities, businesses and organizations in more than 190 countries and territories to take tangible environmental action. This year’s Earth Hour follows the historic Kunming-Montreal Agreement at COP15, which in December last year committed the world to halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030. - WWF's European Policy Office this year dedicated Earth Hour to bringing nature back to Europe, by launching a much needed public mobilisation campaign calling for the adoption of a game-changing EU Nature Restoration Law. - Building on China's leading role in negotiating the historic Kunming-Montreal agreement, WWF-China hosted Earth Hour's ‘Give an Hour for Earth’ celebrations with a series of sustainability forums and music events in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chengdu and Kunshan. This incredible series of events and activity was topped off with an outdoor exhibition running on solar power that looked back on the 15 years of success of Earth Hour in China. The public were also encouraged to ‘switch off’ from everyday distractions and Give an Hour for Earth. This year, WWF’s Earth Hour campaign encouraged individuals, communities and businesses to give an Hour for Earth. Other landmarks that took part in this year’s Earth Hour include China's Zhouzhuang in Kunshan and the Beijing National Speed Skating Hall, Egypt's Ministry of Environment, Cambodia's Independence Monument, the Old Mutual Tower in Nairobi, and The Musée du Louvre and the Notre-Dame de Paris, both in France.
