According to the agreement, the primary business of the joint venture will be the development of fuel cell systems for commercial vehicles to contribute to the realization of a clean mobility society in China. Each company will invest in the joint venture. Dong Changzheng will be appointed chairman while Ryu Akita will be chief executive officer (CEO). The joint venture will be officially established in Beijing during this year, according to the agreement.
The six companies will engage in a series of technological R&D from components including FC stacks and FC system controls, to vehicle installation.
