What is the current number of buses and trucks from Ballard in the Chinese market 
er
Yeah. I think that's a fair comment. The policy delays have frankly been unexpected. But on the policy front, we've actually had a pretty important, I would say, start to the year in China on the policy front, right? So you've had -- the 14th 5-year plan was approved in March.
And in that plan, the environment has a very significant focus. And the shift really is going from cleanup to decarbonization. They call it Green Ecology. And now we've got these important milestones or goals for Carbon Peak 2030 and Carbon Neutrality 2060.
And then, since that time, you've had two important announcements. I'm not sure if you're fully aware of these. One of them is the Ministry of Science and Technology announced a Hydrogen Society program in Shandong Province. We think this will be a major boom for Shandong province fuel cell opportunities and which will, of course, help the Weichai-Ballard joint venture, which is located in Shandong.
And also, the National Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Center was awarded to Weichai on April 18. So this is a very -- another important development in that market. On the deployment front in China, you're also seeing about 3,400 buses and trucks from Ballard in that market right now with over 70 million kilometers. So that's a more recent number than the number we provided on our overall global install base of 75.
I just want to highlight, just on the joint venture, I'd say there are three key things that have been going on there. One is really kind of optimizing and improving yield improvements as we're waiting for the market to get uncoiled there. And then, the second is module development activity. So making sure we have the portfolio of modules to satisfy the different market requirements for bus and commercial truck, including different market segments.
But a lot of work being done on balance of plant components by the Weichai-Ballard joint venture, including significant work on cost reduction. And then, the last one is just the market and customer engagement side. So notwithstanding a stalled market kind of awaiting the announcement of the hydrogen-cluster program, we are seeing significant customer activity and engagement from the vehicle OEMs, getting new platforms certified, testing and engagement with end users. So there's a lot of work going on in the background that I think is going to be very helpful as the policy kind of gets announced and clarified here over the coming months.
So I think your assessment of a move out with the delayed policy landscape is a fair one.

The next question comes from Rupert Merer with National Bank. Please go ahead. Rupert Merer with National Bank, your line is live.

Sorry about that. Good morning, everyone, You mentioned potential for clarification in the coming months on the hydrogen subsidy in China. So do you have specific visibility on when could get more detail on the program? And to your knowledge, have any of the demonstration regions in China been announced yet or indicated for the cluster program?
Randy MacEwen -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, Rupert, great question. So what's happened is there's been another iteration of the process, if you will, where it looks like there are five clusters that will be awarded: The Shanghai cluster, the Beijing cluster, the Guangdong cluster, the Hubei cluster and the Hunan cluster. So those five clusters were required to resubmit some paperwork as of April 30. So that's just occurred.
And I think there's additional progress that will be made over the next 60, 90 days with the national government and each of these five clusters working through it. So this hasn't been announced publicly yet, but that's our understanding of what's going on in the China market for those clusters.

And in which regions in China can you participate? You mentioned, of course, that Weichai is based in Sha
