Understanding Mobile Power Engines?
--- The Evolution of Mobile Power Engines ---
• Historical Development and Innovations:
The journey of mobile power engines has evolved dramatically over the past decade, transitioning from traditional internal combustion engines to intelligent, clean-energy-powered systems. A landmark moment came in April 2019, when Farizon Motor Technology Co., Ltd. launched the world’s first M100 methanol-powered heavy truck—a groundbreaking innovation that set a new standard in sustainable commercial transportation. This achievement was not just a product launch but a strategic milestone in the company’s mission to drive technological progress toward zero-emission mobility. Since then, Farizon has continuously expanded its portfolio with successive generations of methanol engines, including the second-generation National VI-compliant models in 2021, methanol P2 hybrid and extended-range trucks in 2022, and the advanced G3 and Xinghan H models introduced in 2024. These innovations reflect Farizon’s commitment to R&D excellence, supported by a global team of over 2,000 engineers across Hangzhou and Maanshan. The company’s modern green vehicle factory in Maanshan, Anhui, with an area exceeding 3,000 mu, is capable of producing 100,000 complete vehicles and 50,000 engines annually, ensuring rapid scaling of these next-generation powertrains. Moreover, Farizon’s integration of methanol-hydrogen hybrid technology—combining high-efficiency methanol combustion with electric propulsion—has enabled vehicles to achieve driving ranges up to 1,500 km while maintaining ultra-low emissions. This evolution underscores a shift from fossil fuel dependency to a circular carbon economy, where waste CO₂ is captured and converted into green methanol using renewable energy. As one of the few companies globally to master this full-chain ecosystem, Farizon is not only redefining engine performance but also reshaping the future of industrial mobility.

• Cost Efficiency and Environmental Benefits:
Farizon Motor Technology Co., Ltd. has demonstrated real-world cost and environmental superiority through operational case studies across China’s logistics and mining sectors. In a recent deployment in Inner Mongolia, a fleet of Farizon GS09M350H-65 methanol-hydrogen electric dump trucks replaced diesel-powered units in a large-scale mining operation. Over a six-month period, the fleet recorded a 50.2% reduction in fuel costs compared to diesel counterparts, translating to savings of over 800,000 RMB per year for just 10 vehicles. This significant saving stems from methanol’s low production cost—especially when generated via green hydrogen and captured CO₂—as seen in the Altay Green Methanol Base, which leverages 1.3 billion kilowatts of wind and solar capacity to produce up to 300 million tons of green methanol annually. Additionally, Farizon’s GS06M245H-61 engine achieves a thermal efficiency of 45%, while its motor efficiency reaches 97.44%, minimizing energy waste. Environmentally, the system reduces CO, HC, and NOx emissions by over 95% and produces zero particulate matter—critical for compliance with China’s National VI emission standards. Beyond trucks, Farizon’s methanol-hydrogen generator sets have been deployed at remote oilfield drilling sites. In a project involving ten 250kW units, the total annual fuel cost savings exceeded 5 million RMB compared to diesel generators. Furthermore, with over 200 methanol refueling stations already built nationwide, infrastructure support is rapidly expanding. These real-world validations confirm that Farizon’s mobile power engines deliver not only economic benefits but also a tangible path to decarbonization, making them ideal for industries seeking both profitability and sustainability.

• Emerging Technologies and Market Opportunities:
Looking ahead, Farizon Motor Technology Co., Ltd. is poised to lead the next wave of innovation in mobile power engines, particularly through the convergence of methanol, hydrogen, and digital intelligence. The company’s strategic investment in a modular, platform-based design philosophy enables rapid iteration and customization—allowing for quick adaptation to diverse markets, from urban delivery fleets to offshore marine vessels. One emerging opportunity lies in the expansion of methanol-hydrogen power into non-road applications, such as mining trucks and marine engines, where Farizon has already developed specialized variants under its GS13M and GS14M series. These engines, with power outputs ranging from 353kW to 375kW and B10 lifespans exceeding 1.5 million kilometers, offer unmatched durability and performance in harsh environments. Additionally, Farizon is pioneering the “three-step” methanol production model: from coal-to-methanol, to CO₂ hydrogenation, and finally to green methanol powered by wind and solar energy—creating a scalable, carbon-neutral fuel cycle. This vision aligns with global trends toward energy independence and net-zero targets. With 91–100% of its products exported, Farizon is actively penetrating international markets in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America, where demand for low-cost, low-emission transport solutions is surging. By combining cutting-edge R&D, robust manufacturing capabilities (including ISO9001, ISO14001, and CCC certifications), and a customer-centric innovation model, Farizon is not just building engines—it’s building a sustainable mobility ecosystem. As governments worldwide introduce green license plate incentives and tax exemptions for new energy vehicles, Farizon’s methanol-hydrogen electric trucks stand out as a viable, high-performance alternative to pure electric and diesel options, securing a dominant position in the future of intelligent, clean, and profitable transportation.
