As key countries are striving towards sustainable and cleaner transit systems, fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) have emerged as paramount. Powered by hydrogen fuel these vehicles are offering green alternatives to conventional vehicles. They operate on a simple principle i.e., a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen which creates power that is used further to run electric vehicles. This process is free from any sort of emission. It contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to a great extent and may improve the quality of urban air.
These vehicles are preferred more for their improved driving range compared to battery EVs. This makes them suitable for longer fleets. Production of hydrogen is easier than gasoline. Switching to hydrogen fuel is prioritized by many countries to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. These initiatives are likely to attract more profit for companies in fuel cell vehicle production.
In the commercial sector, FCVs are gaining traction in public transport due to their quick refueling ability and long range. This industry is anticipated to evolve further in the next decade owing to several innovations, automakers' commitment, and escalating hydrogen infrastructure.
