[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] A high-performance domestic hydrogen charging station has been established at Changwon Jungang Station public parking lot, significantly improving the hydrogen vehicle usage environment for citizens.

Changwon City, Gyeongnam, held a completion ceremony on the 8th for the Sarim Hydrogen Charging Station, the sixth hydrogen charging station in the area.

The Sarim Charging Station is the first hydrogen charging station built within a historical facility in Korea. The city began promoting the construction of the Sarim Charging Station in the first half of 2020, and after processes including urban planning changes, bidding for the charging system, technical reviews, construction work, and various tests, it has now been completed.

The Sarim Charging Station is equipped with a high-performance charging system featuring a domestically produced commercial compressor, capable of continuously charging eight hydrogen passenger cars per hour. This improvement addresses the recharging wait time issues of existing stations and is expected to provide a more stable charging service.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu stated, "We built the Sarim Charging Station with significantly enhanced performance to provide citizens with more convenient and faster charging services," and "With the introduction of a high-performance domestic charging system, we will actively promote the spread of eco-friendly vehicles including hydrogen cars, as well as the adoption of domestic hydrogen infrastructure, striving to contribute to the development of the domestic hydrogen industry."
