Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle is a car that uses hydrogen to power an electric motor. This provides all the benefits of an electric car while delivering the range of a gasoline-powered vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are gaining popularity among the consumers due to their improved performance and durability. They have a lower carbon emission and are more energy efficient than conventional diesel vehicles. In addition, they are highly durable and can withstand a lot of punishments. Moreover, these cars have good acceleration and speed. This makes them a great choice for long trips and even on highways.

Market Dynamics

Major players in the market are partnering with governments to set up hydrogen stations. This is helping them in increasing their presence in the market and enhancing their product portfolio. This is further expected to drive growth of the global hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market over the forecast period.

However, the cost of these vehicles is high which limits their mass adoption. Additionally, hydrogen fuel cells are prone to fire when exposed to fire, which is a major concern. These factors are expected to hinder growth of the global hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market over the forecast period.
