        "summary": "GAC Group, a major Chinese automaker, is actively developing hydrogen fuel cell technology alongside battery electric vehicles, as demonstrated by their GAC ERA Concept unveiled at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show. An official from GAC noted that the company has been working on hydrogen propulsion for several years, aligning with China's ambitious target of 100,000 hydrogen vehicles on the road by 2026. This diversification reflects the growing global emphasis on diverse eco-friendly vehicle technologies beyond just EVs and hybrids.",
        "content": "<p>GUANGZHOU, KOMPAS.com \u2013 The global development of eco-friendly\nvehicles is not solely focused on battery electric vehicles (BEVs). GAC\nGroup, a Chinese automotive giant, is also developing a hydrogen\nfuel-powered drivetrain. One example is the GAC ERA Concept car, which\nwas first introduced at the Shanghai Auto Show 2023. \u201cGAC has indeed\nbeen developing it (hydrogen); if I\u2019m not mistaken, it started several\nyears ago and is still being developed today,\u201d said Iqbal when met in\nGuangzhou on Wednesday (22\/4\/2026). This serious step aligns with the\nmajor target for hydrogen vehicle usage in the Land of the Bamboo\nCurtain, set to increase sharply this year. \u201cIn China itself, the news\nis that by 2026, the target is 100,000 hydrogen vehicles, so at GAC,\nwe\u2019re also focusing on that; not just on EVs or hybrids, but on hydrogen\nas well,\u201d he continued. Iqbal explained that although the term hydrogen\ncar may sound similar, hydrogen vehicles have two different methods.\n\u201cHydrogen falls under NEV (new energy vehicle), which includes all\nhybrid drivetrains, then BEVs and hydrogen,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
