Compared with rechargeable electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are more suitable for Hong Kong's double-decker buses because in Hong Kong because of their long endurance mileage and short fueling time. Meanwhile, there is a need for the hydrogen energy supply chain and infrastructure in Hong Kong to be deployed and constructed from scratch. As such, it will definitely bring investment opportunities and economic growth in various emerging businesses. Hence, the hydrogen industrial chains business is one of the development strategies of Hans Energy in the future.
