Zhang Tianyu, chairman of FTXT Energy Technology Co Ltd, a Great Wall unit for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle technologies, made the remarks at an event at Great Wall’s headquarters in Baoding city. He did not give details of the model. Great Wall, which sold 1.11 million vehicles last year, is China’s top pickup truck maker.

China, the world’s largest auto market, rolled out supportive policies for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles last year, which require local governments and companies to build a more mature supply chain and business model for the industry.

Great Wall rivals including Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) Corp, Hyundai Motor Co and Geely are developing their own hydrogen fuel-cell models.
