- First-time exhibitor at FCVC, focusing on solutions for key applications in hydrogen infrastructure
- Launching H35 and H70 high-pressure hydrogen refueling hose assemblies for commercial vehicle and passenger car refueling scenarios
- Continuously strengthening R&D and localized production capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region to support the commercialization of hydrogen infrastructure
ShanghaiJune 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Continental ContiTech will make its debut at the International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Vehicle Congress and Exhibition (FCVC 2026), held from June 10 to 12 in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. At this exhibition, ContiTech (Booth No.: B108) will showcase its high-pressure pipeline and fluid transfer solutions for hydrogen infrastructure, highlighting the H35 and H70 high-pressure hydrogen refueling hose assemblies, which are already ready for engineering applications, as well as marine ammonia transfer hoses, supporting safe and reliable hydrogen applications in industry and transportation.
ContiTech’s H35 and H70 high-pressure hydrogen refueling hose assemblies are ready for engineering applications, supporting the safe operation of hydrogen in industrial and transportation scenarios.
As the hydrogen industry in the Asia-Pacific region accelerates toward commercialization, infrastructure demands for safety and performance are rising. Dr. Zhaoxia Yu, Head of Hydrogen Energy Projects for the Industrial Solutions Business Unit at ContiTech Asia-Pacific, stated: “The key to scaling hydrogen is no longer the technology itself, but whether the infrastructure can safely and stably support high-pressure applications. Leveraging our material-driven high-pressure hydrogen refueling solutions, we are continuously enhancing system reliability and engineering capabilities. Our participation in FCVC reflects our ongoing commitment to combining global engineering expertise with local innovation to drive the development and deployment of hydrogen infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Focusing on high-pressure refueling scenarios, expanding hydrogen infrastructure application capabilities
Expanding hydrogen transport and storage application capabilities
In addition to refueling applications, ContiTech offers a diverse range of solutions for hydrogen transport and storage, including low-pressure hydrogen transfer hoses suitable for operating conditions of 40 to 60 bar, as well as rubber expansion joints for pipeline systems capable of handling up to 100% hydrogen blending.
In the maritime sector, ContiTech provides DNV-certified ammonia transfer hoses that support safe dynamic operations in offshore and nearshore environments. These hoses are suitable for various transfer scenarios, including single-point mooring (SPM), shore-to-ship, and ship-to-ship operations, facilitating the large-scale transport of green hydrogen via ammonia carriers.
ContiTech’s marine ammonia transfer hoses have received DNV certification, enabling safe large-scale transfer in various maritime conditions, including single-point mooring (SPM), shore-to-ship, and ship-to-ship operations.
“The hydrogen transition will also rely on a continuous supply of more reliable, high-performance key components,” said Dr. Piero Mancinelli, Head of the Global Hydrogen Technology Center at ContiTech. “Leveraging our deep expertise in material technology solutions, ContiTech has developed a range of innovative material composite products, including high-pressure hydrogen refueling hoses with a Veneer structure and DNV-certified marine ammonia transfer hoses.”
Continuously strengthening R&D and localized production capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region
ContiTech is steadily building and deepening its innovation and collaboration ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region. The company has established a hydrogen innovation platform in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, serving as a key hub for regional R&D, engineering validation, and customer collaboration.
Through partnerships with Tongji University, the Yangpu District Government of Shanghai, and Censtar, among others, ContiTech is actively driving the development and application of key hydrogen infrastructure technologies in key Asia-Pacific markets. Additionally, ContiTech is collaborating with Australian partners on high-pressure hydrogen refueling solutions for H70 applications, continuously advancing technology deployment and operational validation in real-world scenarios.
Looking ahead, ContiTech plans to initiate localized production of high-pressure hydrogen hose products at its Changshu base in 2026, further enhancing regional supply capabilities and market responsiveness. These investments will help drive the large-scale commercial application of hydrogen technology and further strengthen the company’s long-term presence in the hydrogen infrastructure sector in the Asia-Pacific region.
