Global Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Market Definition
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen fuel for motive power. The onboard electric motor of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. Electricity is produced using a hydrogen fuel cell, which is powered by hydrogen. Vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells have a great chance of reducing emissions in the transportation industry. Unlike vehicles powered by diesel and gasoline, this one does not emit any greenhouse gases (GHG) while it is in operation. Space rockets powered by hydrogen, as well as ships and aircraft, are examples of hydrogen vehicles.
The chemical energy of hydrogen is converted to mechanical energy, either by the hydrogen’s reaction with oxygen in a fuel cell to power electric motors or, less frequently, through the burning of hydrogen in internal combustion engines. Hydrogen is already one of the most extensively used fuels globally, and many people believe it will ultimately be used in combination with electric vehicles. Due to the limited manufacturing of medium commercial vans by Peugeot, Citroen, and Opel, Stellantis has entered the hydrogen-powered van era. Hydrogen is used to fuel a hydrogen fuel cell, which produces electricity.
Vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells have a significant chance of reducing emissions in the transportation sector. They don’t emit any greenhouse gases (GHG) when the vehicle is running. The US GHG emissions and fuel economy standards for heavy- and medium-duty vehicles in North America were created in partnership between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Clean Air Act gave the EPA the ability to establish a GHG emissions program, while the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 gave the NHTSA the authority to establish fuel consumption guidelines. The GHG program includes regulations for CO2 emission requirements, N2O and CH4 emission standards, as well as hydrofluorocarbon leaks from air conditioning systems.

Global Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Market Overview
Rising concerns about environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources driving market expansion. Due to the growing concern over environmental degradation and the depletion of natural resources, numerous technologies that support the eco-friendly concept are being introduced into the market. Because people are becoming more aware of the negative consequences of air pollution, as well as the rise in traffic and greenhouse gas emissions, there has been an increase in the use of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Because the majority of hydrogen exhaust is made up of steam and condensed water, it makes for a smoother driving experience. This is especially important in urban areas where noise pollution is a problem.
Government initiatives for the development of hydrogen fuel infrastructure are driving market expansion. In order to reach its goal of 1.6 million zero-emission vehicles by 2025, the state of California in the United States has committed funds for the development of 100 hydrogen refueling stations. Additionally, as gasoline is a fossil fuel that is not a renewable energy source and is anticipated to run out in the future, it is essential to develop and employ an alternative source of fuel. However, it is anticipated that the high cost of raw materials, including platinum for the fuel cell anode and carbon fiber for hydrogen fuel tanks, will restrain the market’s growth.
The rise in environmental concerns offers lucrative growth opportunities for the market. A hydrogen fuel cell vehicle’s benefits include a maximum range, quick refueling, quiet operation, and no emissions of greenhouse gases or air pollutants. So it stands to reason to use fuel cells for both automotive and transportation purposes. Fuel cells are flexible and easily scaled sources of power for significant applications in transportation, such as material handling vehicles, trains, buses, defense vehicles, automobiles, and light commercial vehicles.
