It is reported that the project covers an area of ​​about 110,000 square meters, including seven building units: production plant, test workshop, R&D center and office building, laboratory, comprehensive station building, scrap warehouse, and hydrogen supply station. It mainly carries the R&D and production functions of hydrogen fuel cell stacks and systems based on Toyota technology.

Specifically, the main body of the project is composed of Huafeng Fuel Cell Co., Ltd. and United Fuel Cell System R&D (Beijing) Co., Ltd., which are located in Yizhuang, Beijing.

According to the plan, Toyota's fuel cell R&D and production project (Phase I) will be put into production in July this year. By then, the project will integrate fuel cell R&D, production and sales. After the initial capacity ramp-up stage, it will form an annual production capacity of 5,000-10,000 fuel cell systems and stacks. It is expected to bring an industrial output value of 3 billion to 5 billion yuan per year after reaching full production. In addition, by 2026, the start of the second phase of the project will double the production capacity.
