REFIRE was founded in 2015 when a passionate group of engineers came together with the shared dream of propelling the development of hydrogen energy and popularizing the application of fuel cells. REFIRE hopes to reduce mankind’s dependence on fossil energy and contribute to the harmonious co-existence among all lives on our planet by making use of “hydrogen”, the most abundant element in the universe.

Since 2015, driven by our passion, accountability, grit and dedication to the hydrogen energy industry, REFIRE has brought together a team of the smartest minds in hydrogen fuel cell ( FC) technology, automotive engineering, and manufacturing under ‘one’ roof with one goal to commercialise FC technology. Together with our upstream and downstream industry and institutional partners, we successfully demonstrated commercial FC vehicles deployment at scale. Meanwhile, we will continue to explore China and overseas markets, where the FC technology will soon be adopted.

The REFIRE FCS have continuously and stably driven different types of commercial vehicles that are now serving logistics, mass transit and urban service. As so far, the operating FCVs powered by REFIRE reached a total cumulative mileage over 100 million kilometers.

As a pioneer in the FCS commercialization in China, REFIRE pursue product excellence with the belief in the social and environmental value that propelled us to repeatedly push the industry milestones. The outpace track record has lifted REFIRE, together with partners, from pioneers to industry leaders toward a new hydrogen economy.

In the future, REFIRE will continue to forge ahead and make positive contributions to protecting our planet and blue sky and making our planet a better place to live for the next generations.
