Its roots trace back to 1929 when the Wuhan Bus Management office and repair shop was first set up. By 1964, the company became the Wuhan Public Bus Factory, manufacturing buses. In 1999, an agreement as signed with the Mercedes-Benz division in Thailand to develop new models of buses.[1]

In September 2016, the experimental production line of China Yangzijiang Automobile Group rolled off the production line for the first time. A normal temperature and normal pressure hydrogen energy storage bus, Taige, has almost reached commercial operation capacity. Its technological breakthrough lies in the use of a chemical absorbent to convert liquid hydrogen It absorbs and mixes it, and then uses a catalyst to reduce and release it, which solves the problem of storage and transportation of hydrogen energy that is dangerous or costly. The traditional hydrogen dilemma is that it must be stored at low temperature or high pressure. Low temperature requires a lot of electricity. It is completely uneconomical. Although it is cheap, it is also a high-priced product, and it has major safety hazards when it is popularized in the market for civilian use. The breakthrough technology lies in Professor Cheng Hansong, an expert of the Thousand Talents Program, who is the world's leading and original disruptive "normal temperature and normal pressure hydrogen storage technology", which can make use of the existing infrastructure such as gas stations and oil transportation systems, greatly reducing the hydrogen economy problems.[4]
