Even in a sense, hydrogen energy vehicles are the models that are most in line with the positioning of new energy vehicles.

However, Liu Weitao, the head of the materials department, put forward a different view on this.

"Mr. Chen, it is undeniable that hydrogen energy vehicles do have many advantages and are currently the most ideal new energy vehicles for mankind."

"But think about it, everyone, why the island country started the research and development of hydrogen energy vehicles in the early 1990s, but almost twenty years have passed, and their hydrogen energy vehicles have not yet been promoted on a large scale. This should be a matter of several

The key technical problems have not been resolved."

“Leaving aside the high cost of producing liquid hydrogen, the storage and transportation of hydrogen is an unavoidable problem.”

"Because hydrogen is a very reactive gas, it must be stored and transported under high pressure and low temperature conditions."

"If a leak occurs, it can easily cause a fire or explosion, so the safety of hydrogen energy vehicles poses great risks."

"Yes, Mr. Chen, if we develop hydrogen energy vehicles, there are still many problems that need to be solved. And even if we finally solve the core problems of hydrogen storage and hydrogen transportation, we will still be restricted by many external factors."

Fang Weimin took a sip of tea and spoke earnestly.

"How to say?"

Chen Weidong frowned slightly, wondering why the development of hydrogen energy vehicles would be restricted.

Is it possible that the country has any special restrictions on this industry?

"What Chief Engineer Fang means is probably about technology patent issues, right?"

Sitting next to Mr. Zhao, a researcher from the mechanical automation department probably guessed some reasons.

Because when they promote machinery and equipment internationally, they are often subject to patent restrictions from island companies.

Several times, I almost had to fight with the other party's personnel.

Especially in the field of parts and components, the island country's patent registration is very detailed and comprehensive.

Even if it is just a small component, as long as it is innovative and practical, it will apply for patent protection.

"Gong Li is right." Fang Weimin nodded, "I checked the information and found that more than 70% of the patents related to hydrogen energy vehicles are in the hands of island companies. Toyota alone owns more than 6,000 patents."

"They have basically registered everyone who can register."

"I even suspect that they are waiting for us to invest money to promote the popularization of hydrogen energy, and then use patents to counter us."

"Just like the DVDs from years ago."

So he thought trams should be developed.

At least, we can bypass many patent restrictions in island countries.

When Chen Weidong heard this, he felt a little dizzy.

Of course he knows the lesson of DVD.

In 2000, China's DVD output ranked first in the world.

Nearly half of them are exported to North America and Europe.

Because domestically produced DVDs at that time were low in price and comparable in quality to international brands, they were very competitive in the international market.

But what follows is the layer upon layer of patent fees.

By 2002, the island country's 6C Alliance felt that the sheep had been fattened, and began to sue my country's DVD manufacturers for patent infringement.

Not counting the RMB 3 billion already paid in compensation, Chinese DVD manufacturers will have to pay another RMB 20 billion in the future.

Since then, from audio, random access memory, DVD-RW and DVD-R, etc., every component of a small DVD will be charged a patent fee.

This has also led to domestic DVD production profits falling again and again.

At the lowest point, you could only make two yuan from selling one unit.

Two-thirds of DVD manufacturing companies were defeated in this case.
